So Jay, if you were a superhero, would you want to design your own costume or turn it over to a professional?

I would definitely at least work with a professional, although probably with some pretty specific guidelines.

You?

I'm assuming that in this scenario I would also have access to a time machine, so I might just

travel back in time and raid the closets of glam rock's most ostentatious

stars.

Ah, stealing costumes already designed by professionals.

Smart shortcut.

Thank you.

Still though, I think there's value to be had in working with someone who specifically

knows their way around superhero costumes, like for instance Russell Dauterman, who just so happens

to be in our virtual studio today.

Hi. Yeah. who just so happens to be in our virtual studio today.

Hi, yeah, you really do want a professional, otherwise you could end up like Steve Rogers.

I don't know, I mean, I've always kind of dug the classic Captain America costume.

I'm not talking about Captain America I'm talking about nomad as

CAPS never got to design his own look so the first thing he did after he quit was

drive to his girlfriend's mom's house so he could use the sewing machine and

whip up the costume of his dreams.

And what he had been dreaming of was a neckline that extended to his belly button?

I mean the neckline was incidental.

What he really wanted and had never been allowed to have before was a cape.
