Today I officially have one month left of my year-long challenge – NOT LONG NOW! And as I couldn’t think of an appropriate ‘one month to go’ theme, I have chosen to take on a user-suggested theme that has been requested multiple times – Ooompa Loompa. Photo credit: Billy Rubin Green Oompa Loompa…

Day 331: Bob Dylan
May 24 is Bob Dylan’s birthday, so I have taken him on as my theme, dressing in typical Dylan garb. Further to this I have created my own version of the props in his famous Don’t Look Back film clip where he holds flashcards to lyrics to the song. Photo credit: Holmes Black…
Day 311: Star Wars Day
May the 4th is Star Wars day. It is a day when Star Wars fan celebrate the Star Wars films and culture. This day falls on May the 4th because of it’s pun resemblance to the famous film line – “May the force be with you”. Apparently though, Star Wars fans were not the first to pen the pun….
Day 282: Agnetha Faltskog
April 5 is Agnetha Faltskog’s birthday. Agnetha Faltskog was the lead singer of the Swedish pop band ABBA. So I’ve decided to dress in their iconic white jumpsuit costume. Ever since I put on the white jumpsuit I have not been able to get Waterloo out of my head…there goes the weekend. Photo credit:…
Day 272: Diana Ross
March 26 is Diana Ross’ birthday, in celebration of that I have decided to dress as her. Of course if you’re going to do Diana Ross the costume comes down to the hair. Luckily I have naturally curly hair, so all I had to do to create her beautiful bouffant was take a brush to…

Day 208: Wonder Woman
On January 21 2011 NBC announced that they had ordered a pilot of Wonder Woman, after shooting a pilot and much speculation NBC announced in May that it would not be picking the project up for a series. This seems to happen a lot with the Wonder Woman franchise *cough* Joss Whedon movie. In the hopes that Wonder…
Day 201: Tennis
The Australian Open beings today, so I thought I would take on a tennis themed day and dress as the infamous John McEnroe. Why you ask? His afro would make him the funniest tennis player to dress up as, that’s why. And yes, I know that I’m using a badminton racket, not a tennis for this costume,…
Day 195: David Bowie
January 8 is David Bowie’s birthday, so I have decided to dress as up as the infamous Ziggy Stardust. I have looked to re-create his look on the cover of Aladdin Sane.
