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…
Day 359: Lara Croft: Tomb Raider
On June 21, 2011, the film Lara Croft: Tomb Raider was released in Australia. Based on the video game, the film follows Lara Croft, played by Angelina Jolie, who battles villains to recover important and ancient artifacts. So today, I have decided to dress as Lara Croft as you see her in the film, and…
Day 357: The Rocketeer
On June 19, 1991, The Rocketeer premiered. The Rocketeer was a film about a young pilot who finds a prototype jetpack that allows him to fly and then becomes a masked hero. Not many people know about this film, but I remember loving it as a child and rumour has it it may be remade….

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 325: Braveheart
On May 18, 1995, the film, Braveheart, premiered at the Seattle International Film Festival. With Braveheart as my theme for today, I have dressed up as William Wallace, played by Mel Gibson. As I was applying the face make-up, all I kept thinking of was Tobias Funke and the words: I just blue myself. …
Day 321: Seinfeld
On May 14, 1998, the last episode of Seinfeld aired. Seinfeld would have to be, with The Simpsons, my favourite show of all time. I truly believe that there is no event in life that cannot be referenced with a Seinfeld quote. And with that, today I have taken Seinfeld on as a theme, dressing…
Day 307: Poison Ivy
Today I am taking on the user-suggested theme of Poison Ivy by Fernanda. I thought it appropriate that I take on this theme the day after Uma Thurman’s birthday as she played the role of Poison Ivy in Batman & Robin. Man, that was a terrible film. Photo credit: Holmes Red Long Wig: Ebay (Borrowed…
