Everybody knows Batman, but his comics and films and TV shows are arguably known as much for the colourful villains as for the caped crusader himself. The Batman universe has quite the rogue's gallery, and while The Joker, Two-Face, Bane et al are certainly super-scary, the women are often just as intimidating as the men. Also, they have awesome costumes, which gives us a great hen do idea!

If you want to attract a lot of attention when you hit the town, dressing up as Batman villains is a great way to go. We've got three voluptuous villainess outfits for you to choose from - would you like to be Poison Ivy, with her deadly greenery? Or Harley Quinn, with her ravishing red and black colour scheme? Or perhaps you'd prefer the classic Catwoman costume, as sexy and as slinky as ever.

Now we realise that you've probably invited more than three people to your hen do, so once those three outfits have been taken, why not get creative? It's easy to turn yourself into a female version of the other Batman villains - for example, you could use our white cream make-up to look like the Joker, or combine a purple glitter mask with a green top hat for a glammed-up Riddler look. The sky's the limit!

Yep, we're still jealous of the people at Glastonbury, so let's continue to assuage our festival envy with another festival-themed hen night idea! Fancy dress is a huge part of many hen nights, but some girls might find that the usual hen costumes - French maids, bunny rabbits, et cetera - are a little too bawdy for their tastes. We're not sure when rabbits became ubiquitous sex symbols (we're guessing it's mostly Hugh Hefner's fault, the bunny-fancying old weirdo), but the point is that there are plenty of other fancy dress themes to choose from.

Seeing as festival season is now upon us, why not try festival-themed costumes at your hen party? A fabulous festival costume requires nothing more than some torn-up jeans, a tie-dye T-shirt, and a pair of wellies - surely anyone could manage that? Of course, if you still want to look a little bit glamorous,  we've got a variety of hippie costumes that will make you look a) gorgeous, and b) like you've come straight from the Pyramid Stage circa 1971.

So get over your didn't-go-to-Glastonbury blues, we'll do our best to get over ours, and we'll all have a fantastic festival-themed party. You and the girls will stand out a mile when you stride into town wearing your best festival garb!

By the by, we've done a bit of digging and discovered that Hugh Hefner actually has a species of rabbit named after him: Sylvilagus palustris hefneri. So there's your chunk of useless information for the day.
