Batbird

Last night Nik and I realised that if we were going to go to Kirsty's Tim Burton themed fancy dress 21st we should probably make Tim Burton themed costumes. It might sound obvious to you, but to two people who type and file for 8 hours per day, it is not. What seemed most obvious was pasta with cheese, watching a Saved by the Bell DVD and wearing sweat pants. Oh, and not typing or filing.

Nik is going as Batman. Her costume is really quite good. You see, she formed an aliance with Ali early on in the week, who painted her costume for her. Me, I ignored the whole thing. And then I realised and made Nik buy my stuff on her day off. Although I'm allegedly going as a ladybird, I'm really going in normal clothes with a red and black circle attached to my back.

We filmed all 90 seconds of the making of the costumes for you here. Perhaps before you watch this you should be aware that I can't draw, I am sort of left-handed and scissors AREN'T and that the paint on Nik's t shirt was wet:



Then we called Ali and she came to help, because, as you can see from the video, I am thick
