Today is Uma Thurman’s birthday. Uma has starred in many films taking on many roles, but none more career-defining than her role in the Quentin Tarantino film, Pulp Fiction. It is this character – Mia Wallace – that I take on today, in her post-overdose, adrenaline syringe get-up. Photo credit: Billy Rubin Black Bob Wig: Hot Dollar White…

Day 295: Ginger Spice (Spice Girls Week)
Today is the last day of Spice Girls week with my final Spice Girl costume of Ginger Spice, also known as Geri Halliwell. Ginger was my second favourite of the group because she was the loud-mouthed one and I could relate to that 😉 As an added bonus today, I have taken the time to Photoshop all…

Day 292: Sporty Spice (Spice Girls Week)
Today is the second day of Spice Girls Week and I am taking on my least favourite of the group – Sporty Spice – a.k.a. Melanie Chisholm. Why was she my least favourite you ask? Her voice. It was too nasal for my liking. But I really liked when she did that duet with Bryan Adams. Conundrum. ANYWAY,…
