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?

    • Dog kennel isn't a great name for a school. I agree that it's ridiculous for the name to put anyone off going there, but don't see any issue with them rebranding if the parents and children prefer a new name. The school is surrounded by historical 'groves' (reflected in the names of Camberwell Grove, Grove park and Grove Vale for example), so it's not a totally random name. 
    • It might help if there are body cams to record evidence and a presence maybe a deterrent but I very much doubt a park warden would intervene with obnoxious and violent thugs - children or not. We need police for that.  
    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!  
    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!
