For the third day of Halloween week I bring you a favourite: Freddy Krueger from A Nightmare on Elm Street. As I child I was terrified of Freddy Krueger. I watched the film when I was 5 and my brothers constantly taunted me by dressing up as him and chasing me around the house. Tonight…

Day 94: Madeline Kahn
September 29 is Madeline Kahn’s birthday. So today I have chosen to dress up as her character Miss White from my favourite movie Clue. And yes, it is based on the board game Cludeo, which sounds like it would be terrible, but it’s hilarious and I’ll love it forever. Photo credit: Billy Rubin Black Dress: ASOS…
Day 81: Ghostbusters
My dear friend Kat Urban suggested that I do a Ghostbusters theme, so I waited until it was her birthday to take it on. Now, rather than do a boring ghostbuster suit and vacuum number, I thought it would be funnier to dress as the Stay Puff Marshmallow Man from the first film. I hope you enjoy it Kat –…
Day 67: Father’s Day
With today being Father’s Day, I thought it appropriate to dress as a famous dad. So I’ve picked one of the most notorious both on screen as well as off – Bill Cosby. Not only did he star in his own sitcom as the father of the Huxtable family for 8 seasons, but also released a book on parenthood…
Day 66: Gloria Estefan
September 1st is Gloria Estefan’s birthday. So I’ve decided to dress as she appeared on her Greatest Hits album in 1992. I loved her for Turn The Beat Around, but this was much more dramatic.

Day 40: John Hughes
On this day in 2009, John Hughes died at age 59. John Hughes would have to be one of my favourite directors of all time. I still remember the first time I watch The Breakfast Club, as most people would. In honour of this great film and director I have decided to dress up as Molly Ringwald’s…
Day 33: Arnold Schwarzenegger
Today is Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 65th birthday. In honour of this great 80’s action hero, I have chosen to dress in a Terminator theme. I can honestly say that I have seen Terminator 2: Judgement Day more times than anyone I know. Mostly because when we used to visit my cousins house when I was little, this was…
Day 30: London
In celebration of the London Olympics Opening Ceremony tonight I have taken on the theme of London today. I don’t know about you, but when I think of London, the first image to pop into my head is a punk, circa Sex Pistols days. Get it in ya. Photo Credit: Totally Black Wayfarers:…
Day 25: Exercise
A couple of months back Tom and Alex had a breakfast show dedicated to exercise, if my blog had been around then, I would have dressed like this. I don’t know about you, but whenever I think of an exercise instructor, I think 80’s aerobics instructor, which equals lycra and leotards. Please note, the temperature at the time of…
Day 16: Blossom
If you were a young girl growing up in the 90’s there is an 85% chance that you owned a Blossom hat. From that 85%, there is a remarkably lower percent that still owns said hat, of whom I am a part of. And with that I bring you today’s theme: Blossom. Please note: Both…
