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.

70's disco fool...Wore a home made badge of Gary Glitter's grinning pedo-smile. It was about 5 inches in diameter (the badge, that is...ahem).
Went through the Bay City Rollers phase and sewed tartan strips to the bottom of my very flared jeans.
Too poor to buy a "Budgie" jacket and sewed bits of coloured material onto another jacket and thought I was cool, until I got laughed at at the school disco.
Had a black cap sleeve T shirt with glittery transfer letters spelling out "Disco Dynamite" because I thought I really was.
Wore a white chiffon neckscarf - on my wrist.
Had an Ace Of Hearts playing card potruding from the back pocket of my very tight shiny black disco trousers (good grief - I didn't even any pubes and I'm the 'Ace Of Hearts'?!)
And talking of pubes - it was very cool to have armpit hair and my cap sleeved T shirt clearly showed I had none (late developer) so I superglued some black cat hair to my armpits to prove my manhood.
