90’s Hip Hop Costume
I was invited to a 90’s Hip Hop Hens Party, so I thought I would go all out with this Salt N Pepa inspired 90’s outfit. The best bit is that I scored this sweet jacket for $15 and it’s SILK! It’s literally the first silk item I own and it’s covered in a crazy…
Beyonce Flawless Costume
I did not wake up like this. Only Beyonce wakes up like this. This took a lot of makeup, my boyfriends plaid shirt and a wig.

Eleven from Stranger Things Costume
Unless you’ve been living under a rock this year, chances are that you’ve watched, and fallen in-love with Stranger Things. It’s the Netflix TV Show that was a mix of E.T and The Goonies and it was amazing. Plus, that soundtrack ??? With that in mind, I decided to start my two-weeks of daily costumes in…

Furiosa, Mad Max: Fury Road, Costume
One of the best female characters to be seen in film this year would have to be Furiosa from Mad Max: Fury Road, played by Charlize Theron. Furiosa was tough, Furiosa was skillful, Furiosa KICKED ASS. So how could I not only create a costume to portray such a strong, female character, but also end…
Heath Ledger Joker Nurse Costume
Everybody knows that the creepiest characterisation of Batman’s, The Joker, is Heath Ledger’s portrayal in Batman: Dark Knight. One of his creepier moments was when he showed up at the hospital to mess with Harvey Dent, dressed in a nurse outfit. With my hands on a lab coat that I could turn into a nurse outfit,…
Head On A Plate Costume
Re-using the cardboard head-hole-base that I made for my Zordon Power Rangers costume, I thought it may be creepy to create a head for dinner costume. Once again, it’s dodge, but I’m ok with that.

Amongst my love of all things 90’s is the film Hocus Pocus. I will be projecting three films in my backyard during my Halloween party this Saturday: Nightmare on Elm Street, The Craft and Hocus Pocus. I think that about sums up my love of this film. So with that as my inspiration I have…
