Well the Christmas party season is upon us already and some bright spark at my work has decided our party shall be fancy dress. I am in principle up for it but the theme is superheroes, and having browsed the paltry selection of batgirl, catwoman, etc costumes available I am now panicking. Anyone got any ideas that don't involve wearing spandex or some sort of black pvc mini-skirt and thigh high boots? Not that I have anything against such items per se, just not really me. Grateful for any suggestions!

Poisen Ivy's a good one just lots of green and some twigs! :)........or captain underpants!


i went to a heroes and villains party this year and a couple of the girls dressed up as supergran not a very glam look but i appreciated there effort, shopping trollies and all!

Your gonna be pretty hard pushed to find a Female Superhero not in spandex bu here goes


Lady Deathstrike - X-Men 2 Version - Leather Trousers and Jacket (but with those claws it might be hard to hold one's G&T)

Trinity - The Matrix

Raven - Teen Titans (cartoon version)- Moody teen, pretty cool actually

Buffy the Vampire Slayer - All you need is a stake!

That's a puzzler.

There are lesser-known superhero/villains (eg a number of 'witches' and the like). They ten to wear the usual revealing costume but the addition of a cape would be an asset by the sounds of it (no offence, like). And you'd get the chance to exhume your old Goth wardrobe. Unfortunately, 98% of people won't have the faintest idea who you are and you'll have to explain yourself all night long.


A easy get-out (and easy outfit) would be to go as Dr Jean Grey - in her X-Men screen outing - who is dressed as a doctor (because, er, she is one)

I know! The next few years is pretty big for comic book adaptations. You've got The Dark Knight, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Magneto, The Flash, Justice League of America to name but a few. Will be intersting to see who's gonna get the leads in some of those let me tell you.

I realise that the director worked on 300, so maybe used to the graphic novel aesthetic, but Watchmen is more than just a comic book. There are A LOT of threads and subtleties to handle; I hope they don't ruin it.

Ooh just thought of another un-spandex clad super-villain. How about V?

    • £30-40 for M&S Christmas food for two seems very low! And only £60 for food and drink for 8-10 people?  We have had M&S food at Christmas in the past, and it came to a lot more than that. I suppose it depends exactly what you are buying. We left it late to book a Christmas Day meal out last year, so there weren't many options left.  The Cherry Tree menu looked very nice. That was our first mistake. We also overlooked the fact that it was a Young's pub, with all that implies about the food. That was our second mistake. We don't have shedloads of money. We  took the view that we deserved a nice meal  out after working bloody hard all year. So it was doubly disappointing to basically waste a lot of money which could have been very much better  spent elsewhere.
    • No sweetheart. It is a fantastic sermon which should be shared. It is a rights-based sermon which received a standing ovation - if you can be bothered to get to the end.
    • Welcome back. What have voting intentions got to do with this thread? And much as you may hate the present incarnation of so-called Labour, as do I,  I don't think it is true that they have "not done a single positive thing for working class people", is it? And how exactly are you defining "working class people", anyway? 
    • I can’t bear the media “is this racist comment racist” angle taken to reporting it. I feel like she’s a useful out rider for Farage to test how far they can take their rhetoric - it’s not the first time she’s said things that cross over the line. Overt racism is becoming far more commonplace and it’s deeply concerning.
