I’m Bach
I’m Bach bitch. Literally and figuratively*. So it’s been a few months since I last posted, but as you know I was taking a well-deserved break from the mayhem that was my Theme Me challenge over in Europe. Then about a month ago I moved interstate and began a new job… so things have been…
Theme Me Finale Party
So the other week I had a combination birthday/challenge over party at The Village where all invited had to come dressed in a costume or theme that I had taken on in the last year. It was an amazing night and a big thanks goes out to all who ventured out in the torrential rain…
Challenge Over!
As you know between my 26th and 27th birthday, I challenged myself to dress up in a different costume every day for a year, for fun. But what I was keeping on the down low was that for the the last 100 days of my challenge, I recorded a few seconds of video. For the last…
Day 365: Finish
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! So this is it. My final costume. Today completes my year-long challenge to dress in a theme, every day, for a year! (Ridiculous. What kind of weirdo does something like this?! …me, that’s who) Today I take on the theme of ‘Finish’ to symbolise the end of the challenge, dressing as a marathon runner…
Day 364: Mary
Today is the second last costume of my year-long daily costume challenge. When brainstorming with friends about what would be my last costume, many people thought that I should take on a Mary theme, as in just go as me. I thought that would be a HUGE cop out and a waste of my last…
Day 363: Barbie

Day 362: Bewitched
On June 24, 2005, Bewitched was released. The film was nowhere near the amazing that was the TV series, but in honour of my childhood years spent watching the show I have taken it on as a theme, dressing as the best character – Endora – Samantha’s mother. One of my favourite aspects of…
Day 361: Joss Whedon
June 23 is Joss Whedon’s birthday. Joss is one of my favourite writer/director/creators. It all started with Buffy, The Vampire Slayer…movie, yes, there was a movie, and I loved it and it was written by Joss Whedon. Then when I got older and heard they were making it into a TV series I was ecstatic…
Day 360: Comedy Company
Today is my brother’s birthday – Happy Birthday Holmes! So I asked him what theme he’s like me to take on, he said either Acropolis Now or Comedy Company, and seeing as how I couldn’t find a bedazzled bra so that I could dress as Effie, I chose Comedy Company and opted for a…
