DIY fashionAs a teenager I went to the Venice Carnival. I made a mask out of a paper plate, got a metal coathanger and bent it into horns around my head and draped a black tshirt over that. At the time I thought I looked really cool, but thinking it over...
Tell us about your own oh-so-cool fashion innovations.

Eau d'sheepI've never been one to chase trends. Quickly in high-school I realised that my dad would never pony up for 'the latest thing', so I adopted a never in and never out of style (I got the first bit dead on). Nothing leaps to mind that was truly offensive, at least not by the standards seemingly willingly confessed to on here so far...
My dad did persist in decking me out with plimsoles of a Dunlop Green Flash ilk when I was a sprog though. This was waaaay before anyone thought them cool. Even the kids in Hi-Tec took the piss!
I did own clothes that I wouldn't wear in public though, mainly given as presents from my mum. I'm not sure how, maybe it was an extreme form of organic terrorism, but whatever she bought me, wool-based or not, smelled of sheep. And not freshly dipped ones either, festeringly dead ones. Back to the charity shop from whence they came, methinks!
