One day when I was bored working tickets at the planetarium, I took the leftover receipt tape from a roll that had too little left to print any more receipts and wrote Miss Planetarium, then taped it on my shirt like a beauty pageant ribbon. A little later on, I borrowed a flying ring that had been demoed in the store to wear as a tiara.

That Halloween, I dressed up as Miss Planetarium with a real ribbon sash, kids' costume tiara, and my high school Concert Choir dress.
