1983

Las Vegas, anyone?  In a follow-up to the daring gold
and white outfit of '82, I created one even more revealing!
I refer to this as the year I *discovered* Velcro!
A black leotard was trimmed with removable panels of
shiny gold fringe at the shoulders and waist.  Gauntlets at the
forearms and shins added to the look, and the cape
was accented with large gold sequins.  The hat was shaped with
styrofoam pieces that were decorated with feathers and fringe!
Had I been able to engineer it correctly, the cape would have
opened, thus providing a background "frame" for optimal effect.
