Robots

I thought my boyfriend Joe had done well with the gaffer tape and cardboard boxes when he created his Daft Punk helmet for Bestival this year...

for his instructions, if you have recently been made redundant/ won the lottery and aren't fussed about talking to any of your friends or family for the foreseeable future.

Giving in to the geek

Sometimes, a genius costume can say more than just "I've thought about this a bit too much". It might say, "I am an incurable geek and I'm going to go right ahead and revel in it". Thanks to the topsy turvy rules of the world of Fancy, this sort of bravery is rewarded with the adulation of others. By those that get it, anyway. Who cares about the other f**kers?

Thus, the lego stormtrooper is born. Awesome, indeed.

And the headgear of a lesser character from Monty Python's Holy Grail is desirable enough to be a saleable commodity on the ThinkGeek website

And coming to a party dressed/ made up as "Low Resolution" gets the respect it really deserves.



Can you be a genius and not be a geek anyway?
