Wonder Woman

By day a Primary School teacher, by night Claire Heath is Wonder Woman, the 1970's super-heroine.

Wonder Woman

Since the age of 18 Claire Heath has 'dressed up'. Her outlandish outfits used to prompt comments that she was like a super hero. That inspired her to adopt a Wonder Woman look.

Claire has tried to get her outfit right. A neighbour made her top, her shorts are actually pyjama bottoms, she made her wristbands. This is her 'going to the pub' gear and she loves it.

Sadly she still lacks the invisible aeroplane that Wonder Woman fly's on. In fact she has only a hazy memory of the 1970's American tv show, starring Lynda Carter.

Friends and family are rather embarrassed by her gear. Some men 'run screaming', others buy her a drink.

Claire is now in her mid 20's and looking for her 'Superman', so if you are out there, get in touch!
