One last reminder: photographic evidence of your super fandom
I've already received a ton of submissions to our upcoming Super Fan edition of Past Fashion

Tomorrow is the last day to send in your entries for our Past Fashion: Worst of the 00s
Don't forget: Sunday is the final day for submissions to our Past Fashion: Worst of the 00s roundup
