Speaking of gender-flipped, I’d go as Adrienne Veidt ([Ozymandias](http://www.forbes.com/2010/04/13/veidt-adrian-bio-opinions-fictional-15-10-watchmen.html)). I already have the purple (silk) blazer and pin. Too bad my husband refuses to dress up as [Bubastis](http://watchmen.wikia.com/wiki/Bubastis)and accompany me.
