Deep in the bowels of Heroes, in a place so secret that even my shady landlady doesn't know about it, I have constructed a virtual sweatshop. The reason for this is simple. I've noticed that becoming a hero or heroine is hard work. Crimes don't often fall into your lap and ask to be solved, and people just don't take you seriously if you aren't wearing a costume. Actually, I find that quite often people don't take me seriously even when I am wearing a costume, but that's a whole other story.
The basic problem is that being a hero doesn't pay very well, especially when you are starting out, and those costumes don't exactly come cheap. At least, not until now.
Yes, thanks to that virtual sweatshop I mentioned right back in the first sentence (doesn't that seem an age ago now?), and some hastily recruited slave labour (that's me, by the way), Heroes Club now has its very own range of costumes, which we have cunningly called Heroes Clobber. Clobber is apparently what Australians call clothing, but it also allows us to make delightful puns like the one in the title of this blog.
So if you want to join in the whole Heroic experience but have been put off by the cost of looking the part, think again! Come to Heroes and look for the new vendor, featuring a brand new model, plucked from the streets to be catapulted to fame and fortune (that's me again, by the way).
There's even a range of heroic pyjamas so you can fight crime even when you're asleep in bed. Maybe.
Please note that wearing these costumes will not enable you to fly, stop speeding trains, clear tall buildings in a single bound or even increase your intellectual prowess, although the Invisible Woman one will allow you to become invisible, except for your hair and any other prim attachments you may be wearing. They all come with various different options. And Heroes will not be held responsible for geeks approaching you and telling you that actually, in the television series, Wonder Woman had thirteen more stars on her pants than there are on this outfit. People should know who you are supposed to be, but we don't guarantee any accuracy whatsoever.
Guys, don't panic. The first costume for you is about to hit the shelves, a Human Torch with genuine flickering prim flames! Others will follow when I figure out how to make a proper set of underpants to be worn on the outside of your tights. At the moment, I am struggling with distortion in the...ahem...crotch area. If anyone knows how to fix this, please contact me as soon as possible!
Oh, and if you can't wait to sign into SL to purchase one of these, simply head to www.xstreetsl.com and search for Nightgirl where you can find all the outfits for exactly the same price!
To Insanity...And Beyond!
