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.

Svajoklis - I feel your painI think I was about 8 or 9 (1971/2) when I was invited to a fancy dress party, my very first. My Mum had the bright idea of dressing me up like a robin. I can't remember the details but it was mostly brown with some sort of red bib sewn to my chest. God knows why I went along with this.
I turned up to find my host dressed in a raincoat and beret, mincing around saying "Oooh, Betty", and most of the others with spaceman or cowboy proper costumes on. I don't think I cried at the time but later, alone in bed, I wept.
