Cape Gear


I just got back from the movies; my friend Jennifer and I went to see "Casanova." It's a cute movie, but what really struck me was the clothing. The wigs, the knickers, the shoes, and the capes - and that's just the men. Capes are hot, and I think we need to bring them back. Who doesn't look good in a cape? Think about it: Zorro wore a cape, Casanova, and Batman. Even dysfunctional b*tches like The Phantom of the Opera and Dracula. They looked fabulous and mysterious, and their look would totally not have worked unless they had a cape.

Plus, nothing makes a more dramatic entrance or exit, than the swing of a cape. Let's say your boss calls you to their office and asks you to make copies. Rather than simply saying, "Sure," and walking away, how fabulous would it be to say, "Yes!", swing your cape and disappear out of sight? Or, you're invited to a friend's party - everyone makes the same entrance ... but, not you! You can bust through the door with your cape ... all eyes on you, honey, all eyes on you!
