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.

you know those chinese metal ballsthe ones that you're supposed to be able to twizzle around in your hand without them going "bong"?
I used to walk around with one in each trouser pocket.
It was the distant sound of church-like bells as I walked along that I enjoyed. It confused the hell out of people. They'd all be looking around trying to work ot where it had come from.
I also used to wear huge baggy trousers made of bright guatemalan material, loud shirts made of indian materials, bright chinesy waistcoats, long hair, paisley daps, john lennon shades and a rasta headband (edit -either that or the rasta hat my granny had knitted for me). Oh, and big hair.
Actually that reminds me - I did this hair wrap that I extended down to my knee. Unfortunately it got caught in a lift door, but fortunately my hair was so greasy it just slid off.
(PS - I'm white and male if that helps you get the image)
Children burst out laughing as I walked down the street.
