Fashion! Etc., Etc.!
The Danger Shop was set up like a runway in Milan. There were lights! There was noise! There were stick figures with big poofy lips complaining as their hair was put up into ridiculous coifs backstage with the students!
"Hello, darlings," Edna said, wheeling the rack of costumes (save one, naturally) into the room. "You have all proven to be...mostly adequate...these last few weeks in terms of creativity and not being blown up. Today you will demonstrate the lines and flow of my beautiful costumes!" Her hands flew up over her head.
"...which you also helped to design, et cetera, et cetera," she finally added. "Get changed, listen for the music and then strut, darlings! Try not to trip over things and end up on Youtube. Oh, and watch out for the lasers. You are superheroes, after all."
With that she disappeared through the curtain to join the audience.

Walk the runway!
Watch out for the lasers going back.
Re: Walk the runway!
Katchoo did not 'strut.'
In point of fact she knew perfectly well how to do both of those things, and despite the tempting prospect of blowing a few people's minds by doing exactly that, she opted not to advertise either fact.
With her luck the mind-blowing (stupid island) would be literal, and Edna would make her clean up the splatter anyway.
So there was no 'working it' on Katchoo's eyepatched-and-snarly faced stalk down the runway, unless you counted emphasizing the fist-with-extended-middle-finger logo on her uniform by duplicating the gesture with both hands.
That she could work very well, thank you. Plus she did actually look damned good in spandex. Maybe even while swearing up a storm dodging the lasers on the way back.
Re: Walk the runway!
Did going to church this morning make up for what Francine uttered when she got a load of that?
Possibly not.
Re: Walk the runway!
That is, until she tripped over her own feet and tumbled off the catwalk. Oops.
Re: Walk the runway!
She'd need Janet Van Dyne's guidance for that.
So she strutted out onto the catwalk, all big and green and wearing a purple spandex number (http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/File:She-Hulk_001.jpg), with a single shoulder strap (it reminded her of circus strongmen, at least that's what she said) and purple boots, with a white belt and wristbands.
It wasn't too terrible, really.
Re: Walk the runway!
She smiled; flashed her pearly whites, and sauntered down the runway in her sequined pink spandex. Yay!
Re: Walk the runway!
But she would strut. She was quite good at strutting. And she looked good, even in her ridiculous spandex. Of course that was only her own not-so-humble opinion, but she was sure the audience would agree. Not that she cared what they thought.
And, unlike last week, she managed to keep the shrieking to a bare minimum. Just one tiny shriek at an unexpected laser. Not enough to melt anything.
