There was a bit of a serendipitous moment on New Years Eve this year (last year?) when I managed to create a costume that bore a passing resemblance to a reprint that Threadless made available on New Years Eve. Now that I’m looking at it almost two weeks later I must admit that in my hungover state of January 1st I felt that the two were far more similar, but I needed an excuse to post a picture of my New Years outfit and this was about the best I could manage!
Clearly, Electric Jellyfish is a decent design, but it ain’t got nothing on my made-up superhero, ‘Bone-man’, which is me, if I were a superhero, I had no made-up superpowers beyond being slightly more awesome than I already am. Clearly, the LEDs are the biggest draw (and boy were they bright), everyone I met that night gave them a second look, some people even came up to me an patted my belly, I don’t know what that was meant to achieve, but one thing remains clear lights=friendliness. Oh, and I know it just looks like gren paint in the picture, but around the outside of the fabric B glowed in the dark so that the design could be read with lights and LEDs turned off, it it was a similar situation on the cape (which I apparently forgot to take a picture of).
Oh, and note to Threadless, if you want Electric Jellyfish to be really, really good, you’ve gotta make it glow in the dark (presuming it doesn’t already) and have LEDs poking through, then it can receive the title of “most ridiculous shirt ever”, which would probably be a fun Bestee category.
Costiness=$45ish (plus about 5 hours labour) Link
