Everyone needs a little personal self-indulgence, and one of mine is collecting fun knee socks. Why be boring?

I bought myself these socks because, gosh, how could I NOT want to be Wonder Woman? I figured that even if the only part that showed to the outside world was the stars peeking out from my jeans, it'd still look cool.

As a costume item, these are fine. But as knee socks, they're... okay. First, like some "novelty" socks, they are designed for looks more than comfort; the top is a little tight around the calf. But the Wonder Woman cape, on the top of the sock, that makes these look so neat-o in the picture, also becomes a problem when you want to wear these as, well, everyday socks. Unless you're going to wear them with shorts (or the matching Wonder Woman costume), the cape adds a bit of bulk under your pants. It's not an awful problem (this should be the biggest thing I have to worry about!) but I may end of whacking off the cape to make the socks suitable for everyday use.
