This is my kit and here are the results for the first of two days at Brisbane Supanova. I decided not to be too fussy around the eyes because (a) it takes twice as long, and (b) no one notices anyway. I am a comic character. I am drawn in broader strokes than a regular woman.

I told my wife to meet me at the Halloween Street Party in a Spiderman costume. I did not tell her that I would appear as Spiderman’s lover, The Black Cat. She walked right past me and didn’t recognise me. At the same time, I was too busy getting photographed by fellow revellers to notice my wife walk past me. She didn’t divorce me after all. However, she claims she doesn’t want to join me in any other events unless I play a man (how boring). The challenges so far: Trying drive in high heels; not touching my face; not touching my face while preening this high maintainance wig; keeping my chin up and not being afraid. Little girls seem to love me the most. Perhaps I am a (highly questionable) role model. Mental note - don’t hang around too late at night... the more drunk guys get, the more likely they will start to get abusive when they are clued into your gender bending. What is with that? Do they feel insecure?

Trial Four… much happier with this make-up. Though I am still obviously a guy on a steep learning curve

Trial One.... Perhaps I better learn how to use lipstick?

Turns out I am not the only freak who thought a Spiderman crossplay would be awesome. I promptly bought a onepiece costume for my wife. It will be the easiest complaint-free costume in the world for her to wear plus she loves being a boy now and then

Who better to play #marvelSpiderman to my #BlackCat than my wife? She shares #PeterParker s cheeky adolescent disposition.
