Here's a picture of the costume I wore for Halloween this year.

As I mentioned, I was feeling uncreative so I decided to go as one of the Ironettes, the Iron Man-theme dancers Tony had at the Stark Expo in Iron Man 2. I made it out of various pieces of shiny red dance wear, plus an arc reactor patch, a gold chain belt, and gold cage heels. I didn't feel like spending money on sparkly red boots I'd never wear again, so I wore these metallic red stockings with shoe I already owned. They creeped down my legs a lot, which was irritating, but whatever. I think I looked a bit too much like a gogo dancer from the sixties, but at least it's cute and marginally recognizable. I do wish I'd managed to get little red gloves of some kind. It would have been fun to find LEDs or little tap lights to make repulsors for my hands.
