I loved Beetlejuice as a kid! So today I have taken on Adam Maitland from Beetlejuice where they have their monster/scary stretchy faces. The mask was made with just folded paper on top of a cap, so I’m pretty stoked with how well it turned out on such a dodgy concept. Photo credit: Noodle Noo…

Rosie the Robot from The Jetsons Costume
Today I am REALLY proud of my Rosie the Robot from The Jetsons costume! I have been planning this one for a while and have been quite lazy/procrastinating from actually making it. But now that I have finally put it together I’m really happy with it! Photo credit: Noodle Noo Silver robot head: Homemade from…
Sloth from The Goonies Costume
Growing up, The Goonies was one of my favourite films, and while I have already covered The Goonies with a previous costume of Data, I had yet to dress up as Sloth, whose relationship with Chunk was one of the most endearing sub-plots of the film.

Coming to America Prince Akeem Costume
With today being International Suit Up Day, I thought I would create a costume that required a suit, so I have dressed up as Prince Akeem from Coming to America. This is one of my PERSONAL favourites and I’m stoked with how the costume has turned out 🙂 Photo Credit: Nettie Noodles Black suit jacket: Zara…
The Shinning Door Costume
Today I thought I’d take on a horror theme for this month-long Halloween costume-a-thon with my Jack Torrance The Shinning door costume. Everyone knows the famous scene where he breaks through the door with his axe and says: Heeeeeeeere’s Johnny, so that’s the costume I have re-created.

Annie Costume
Today I was able to throw together an Annie costume with the use use of just a red wig and a red dress. So simple to do as a last minute go-to for all your costume party needs. Photo credit: Holmes Red Curly Wig: Ebay (Borrowed from Dungog) Red Dress: Supre White Shirt: TEMP White…
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…
Day 355: The Smurfs
Today I am taking on the user-suggested theme of The Smurfs, dressing up as the only female Smurf, Smurfette. As a child I LOVED the Smurfs, but a couple of years ago I bought a DVD of the show and when I re-watched it, let me tell you that it does not hold up. Not…
Day 352: 80’s Movie
Today I take on another user-suggested theme – 80’s movie. There were SOOOOOO many good options here – I could do a John Hughes film like Breakfast Club or Pretty in Pink… hang on, nope, already done those. A John Carpenter film like Big Trouble in Little China? Nope, that one too. So then I thought,…
Day 333: E.T.
On the 26th of May, 1982, E.T. premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. Steven Spielberg’s film about a lonely boy befriending an extraterrestrial from outer space was a childhood favourite – as it was for many. So with this as my theme today, I have chosen to dress as Elliott as he heroically escapes from the government with E.T, to get…
