This must have been 1988 or 1989:

hardly anybody in Germany knew "V" unless they had a chance to watch it on Dutch TV (undubbed with subtitles).

And for Karneval (which is as good a reason to get dressed up as Halloween) I had one advantage: my mum's a tailor. So I asked her to do me a costume after the ones I had taped on video:

 

Not bad, hm? The best moment came when I picked up a friend to go to a party. She knew "V", but she had had no idea about what I was going to wear.

Can you imagine her face when I took some candy mice out of my pocket and started eating??
