A camera pans over a vast audience of super-heroes and super-villains from all walks of live, orchestral fanfare playing all the while, before the camera and the stage lights come to focus on the main forum, and its red velvety curtains.
An announcer's voice booms: "Live, from Bob Kane Memorial Stadium - designed, drawn, and funded by Bill Finger - it's the Second and a Half Annual Ambush Bug Presents Awards Extravaganza!"
The curtains part, giving way to the night's emcee - Ambush Bug, dressed to the nines in a sharp tuxedo. A sharp, orange tuxedo.
"Good evening ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Ambush Bug Awards - the Schwabbies, as they are popularly known. This is our second and a half annual ceremony, and I hope we can continue the fine tradition of dignity and aplomb that we have maintained all these years. But - what's this?"
Ambush Bug looks towards the rafters, where there is suddenly a glow.

Tiniest Costume

Sexy saxophone music begins to play.
"And here to present the nominees are two of my great pals - Jericho, and the Silent Knight!"

Date: 2008-09-10 12:44 am (UTC)Reaching under the podium, he produces two markers and some large white sheets of cardboard.
He and the Knight scribble furiously, before Jericho holds up the first one.
'Our first nominee for tiniest costume is my teammate, the lovely and radiant Starfire, sporting her tiny purple classic swimsuit. She loves to soak up the sun and show off some skin.'
Re: Tiniest Costume
Date: 2008-09-10 12:45 am (UTC)'Our second nominee is the deadly floral arrangements of Miss Pamela Isley, AKA Poison Ivy. Miss Isley's costume is scandalous beyond the pale, and surely she wilt be burned at the stake as a witch.'

Date: 2008-09-10 12:48 am (UTC)'That's a pretty harsh judgment, but having met the lady, I can't disagree.'
He holds the card up for laughter, then pulls up another.
'Our third nominee is a little something for the ladies - Black Condor's classic Silver Age costume, consisting of briefs, boots, and a demi-cloak shaped like wings.'
Re: Tiniest Costume
Date: 2008-09-10 12:50 am (UTC)'Our fourth nominee is the lady Fire. AKA Beatriz DaCosta. Typically she adventures in an emerald swimming costume, but has been known to sheathe her nakedness solely in the green flames which she produces. Clearly a witch, but I'm not sure burning is the answer, in her case.'
Re: Tiniest Costume
Date: 2008-09-10 12:52 am (UTC)'Lastly, we have Martha Roberts, AKA Doll Girl. Her ensemble is a modest dress and cape, but because of her stature, uses only four square inches of fabric.'
Re: Tiniest Costume
Date: 2008-09-10 12:55 am (UTC)'A triumph for modesty this knight, as Lady Roberts has taken the prize!'
Re: Tiniest Costume
Date: 2008-09-10 12:57 am (UTC)"Well, gee. I'm honored and privileged to win this award."
She glances over at it, then back to her vehicle.
"Can I.. pick it up later, maybe?"
The Silent Knight nods chivalrously in response, claiming the Schwabbie for Doll Girl, and she waves to the crowd.
"Thanks everyone!"
