Games outfit silliness

 Outfit posts aren't my strong point, probably because I wear the same things over and over and, to be honest, I'm not very confident about how I look right now. However, there's been lots of games-related tat ending up on the free stuff desk in the office this week, as we're refurbing and so all the magazines are having a clear-out. Next week we move up one floor to shiny newly-decorated offices, so all the tat must go. And because I've been feeling silly, I've been wearing it for Instagram photos.

It all started with a Megaman helmet, which no-one else could get on. I'd thought my stupidly small head had only one advantage, namely being able to fit into vintage hats. (The down side is, I can't buy hats on the high street as they're all too large.) But no, there was another advantage, in that I was the only person in the office who could wear the Megaman helmet. My friend Mi Mi said I should keep it, but I don't have room for it at home, so back on the tat pile it went. Someone with small children must have liked it, because it's gone now.

Next was the Mario cat hat and mittens, as seen at the top of the page. I've decided to keep those; they're not very big and might come in handy for photo shoots.

Finally, there was the Pikmin onesie. Who doesn't want to be a Pikmin, eh? This was actually a sod to photograph, as the white flower bud on top of my head simply didn't want to be photographed. The white wall behind my desk was no good, so I tried moving to the blue wall in the stairwell - that's an Elvis quote there - but the bud still disappeared. I was kind of tempted to keep this one for ponking around at home in, but again, I don't really have room, and it's a bit too silly.

It hasn't all been complete tat. I did pick up this trio of republished vintage crime novels this morning. WIN. Not sure which mag would have dumped them, as they're not relevant to any of the ones on this floor - perhaps someone had done a bit of freelancing for Crime Scene. When I've read them, I'll let you know if they're any good.

I've got next week off, and Mr Robot are planning to do things like finish the living room floor and paint the kitchen. Hopefully there will be room for fun too - and I hope you're having fun times too.
