Taken at a comicon this last weekend, apparently this “fashion parade” was actually organised by Marvel Comics.
At least when people dress up as Tank Girl (pic below from someone’s Halloween a few years ago) they actually look they could kick some arse.

Although even Tank Girl recently got a makeover: the idea is meant to be that the punkrock look is too mainstream now, so it would be more shocking for Tank Girl to sport a more normal corporate look – with fucking heels, I kid you not. I’m glad that the winning Rock Eisteddfod Challenge entry last year went for the more retro look.
