It wasn’t until this precise moment that Katharine realized she might have erred slightly in selecting an outfit that would entice her betrothed on their wedding night. It didn’t help matters that newly-minted hubby immediately dialed 911 even though the system hadn’t been invented yet. Still, the show must go on, so Kate valiantly marched forward and proceeded to claim Planet Earth as her own. Planet Earth decided that Praying-Mantis Kate should not necessarily win an Oscar for this performance, and she did not. On the plus side, aluminum foil surged on the stock market and certain day-traders became millionaires. Karma is a tricky thing…

I think she’d look perfect on the bonnet/hood of a car.

There are antennae sticking out of her, um, helmet. Other than that oddity and the fact that she’s wearing a deployed parachute on her back, there’s nothing at all wrong with this image.

That was in the days of early wireless headsets and Flash Gordon. 🧐
She didn’t get the part of Ming the Merciless, even though she had the merciless bit down.

To be fair, this outfit pales in comparison to some of the outrageous garb I used to don in my college years, when I was all about being artsy and somewhat confrontational. Suffice it to say that some of my dating paramours also called 911 before it was invented. Hopefully, I’ve learned a few things since then, but I wouldn’t put any money on it… 😉

I googled praying mantis and it is considered a classical outfit. I like it. It’s a dress plus a cape all in one piece.

If you’re going to be a superhero (at least in your own mind), you might as well have a costume that’s easy to slip into… 😉
