* Nowadays Superheroes tend to do this, although how much of it is the characters or the writers is up to debate. An especially famous case happened to [[Justice League (animation)|Black Canary]], who, after a stint with a cringe-worthy costume, actually ''set it on fire'' on the cover of an issue.
Line 37:
* Briefly mentioned in ''[[A Murder Is Announced]]''—Miss Blacklock's niece Julia mentions being amused by pictures of Miss Blacklock as a young woman in the fashions of [[The Roaring Twenties]]. Julia's brother remarks that in [[The Eighties|thirty years' time]], it'll be Julia's turn to cringe at [[The Fifties|what she's wearing now]].
