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.

Ahem...Every year i go away camping with the lads. We always have a night out in the nearest big town or city from where we are camping. This year it happened to be Worcester. My friends not telling me the night out would be pirate fancy dress all acquired their costumes from a high end fancy dress shop early on.
Me?
Last minute job. I had pyjama pants liberated from my grandad, a T-shirt my mother very kindly drew a cartoon skull and cross-bones on. A waistcoat so horrible i never knew one could ever exist. A very gay pink 'bandana hat thing' a £1.00 pirate kit from the local pound shop, included clip on earing, a sword and a compass. A neckerchief i made out of some crappy material and a 'scabbard'.
Here's the finished product, in the most campest pose ive ever seen:

After a few pints and a bottle of wine i didnt care anymore.
We turned up to this club, luckily it was fancy dress too. Result! i thought, we got in. Fancy dress back to school style. Gutted.
Ah well, i stiull enjoyed people asking me "Why are you dressed as pirates?" and replying with a hearty "because we arrrrr"
