  • We Love Spiderman!

    Spiderman is a fictional superhero, brought to us by Marvel Comics. He was created with super strength and agility, the ability to cling to most surfaces and shoot spider-webs. With his ‘spider-sense’, he can react to danger quickly, enabling him to combat his foes and escape sticky situations.

    Spiderman first appeared comic books in the early 1960’s, but since the 2002 movie featuring Peter Parker, the series really broke ground. We are able to identify with Toby Maguire’s Peter Parker because we see the man behind the mask and witness the hardships he faces as he learns that “with great power there must also be great responsibility”.

    Since Spiderman started leaping across our screens, he has become one of the most popular and commercially successful superheroes. He is Marvel’s flagship character and company mascot, so has appeared in many forms in the media. Now that the films have been rebooted as 'The Amazing Spiderman', Andrew Garfield has taken over the role of Spiderman, which has brought a whole new angle to his story.

  • Fancy dress at Lincoln academy for World Book Day

    Staff and students at Lincoln Castle Academy School celebrated a world book day devoted to literature with fancy dress. Harry Potter, Frodo Baggins and Sam Gamgee, Where’s Wally and Alice in Wonderland were all attending school to take part in World Book Day.

    In addition to dressing up as their favourite world book day character, students in Years 7, 8 and 9 were inspired by local author Georgia Twynham and learnt about how she started writing novels for teens. Students also swapped books in a grand swapping session, took part in a lonely hearts book activity, made bookmarks, heard more stories and collected £1 book tokens. Staff got dressed up, with the maths department morphing into superheroes while the English department were characters from Shakespeare or John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men.

  • The Batsuit From Batman Movie

    It’s nearly time for the ‘Batman vs. Superman’ movie to begin filming, which means soon, the new costumes will be revealed. But what should we expect of Batman’s new suit? Will it be an upgrade from the previous movies or reminiscent to the DC’s comic books?

    The costume designer Michael Wilkinson explains that there is ‘logic’ behind Ben Affleck’s new Batman suit:

    “Zack Snyder has such a great vision for this film, the cinematic universe that we're creating together with the production designer and the cinematographer. It has a logic to it. It's very tight. It's a very gritty, real, contemporary world. That's what I had in the back of my mind when I tried to think of a Batman that works for that universe."

    Until the Big Reveal, we will have to make the most of the Batsuit we already have…

    Alice in Wonderland met Fair trade Fortnight at a Mad Hatter’s Fancy Dress Party. The event celebrated the work of Fair trade businesses and organisations from across Oxford in the last decade and took place at the town hall on Wednesday.

    Chairman of the Oxford Fair trade Coalition Sebastian Blake said: “It was great fun. I was dressed as the Mad Hatter, and we roped in the Lord Mayor Dee Sinclair to be the Red Queen.

    As well as a Fairtrade afternoon tea, there was a performance from the Oxford City Singers and a reading of the tea party chapter from Lewis Carroll’s classic children’s story.

    Oxford Brookes drama student Celeste Harper played Alice. She said: “I was here to celebrate 10 years of Oxford Brookes being a Fairtrade University and it was really great.

    “I had some banter with the mayor – she was a real laugh.”

    The Town Hall and Museum gift shop provided other characters from Alice in Wonderland including a finger puppet dormouse. What else do you want for a Halloween Fancy Dress Party ?

  • Could you be a lady fancy dress superhero?

    fancy dress, superhero fancy dress, superhero

    As you may have noticed, there has been a lot of buzz around fancy dress superhero films for the past few years. One thing that fans have picked up on is that there are more films about male superheroes than females. That is all set to change.

    Marvel Studios is developing a film that will revolve around Black Widow, the character played by Scarlett Johansson in the “Iron Man” and “The Avengers” franchises. Here’s hoping that this film will set a trend.

    While there are calls for more superhero films to feature women in the title role, there are bloggers and artists out there who are experimenting with what that would look like, by photoshopping female celebrities in the male equivalent of Ironman, Thor and Captain America costumes.

    But we don’t need to worry about photoshop, not when we already have a fabulous range of lady fancy dress superhero costumes, waiting for you to make your superhero debut in at the next fancy dress event.
