Day 256: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
On March 10 1997, Joss Whedon’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer debuted on the WB. Ever since I was a young girl, I have loved Buffy. It originally started when I was 7 and my family rented the Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie with Kristy Swanson and Luke Perry. That day I watched it 5 times on repeat. Fast forward…
Day 254: Sci-Fi Convention and International Women’s Day
March 8 is International Women’s Day. It is also the first day/night of Secret Garden Festival which has been themed Sci-Fi Convention. So I thought I would kill two birds with one stone and dress up as She-Ra. (I later that night WON Female best-dressed as judged by the crowds applause. One of my proudest…
Day 253: Sailor Moon
On March 7, 1992 Sailor Moon first aired in Japan. In celebration of the effect this show had on any girl growing up in the 90’s, I have decided to dress up as Sailor Moon today. Now sing-a-long with me: Fighting evil by moonlight Winning love by daylight Never running from a real fight She…
Day 250: Catherine O’Hara
March 4 is Catherine O’Hara’s birthday.

Day 245: Pokémon
On February 27, 1996, Pokémon Red and Green was released, the first Pokémon media franchise as a whole. In appreciation of this, today I have dressed as Pikachu who is the most notable Pokémon of the franchise. A big thanks goes to @martyPantaloons for letting me borrow his Pikachu onesie!

Day 242: Oscars
February 24 is the date of the 2013 Oscars, which is why I have decided to take it on as my theme for today. Given all the amazing gowns that have walked the red carpet glory over the years, I have decided to dress in a outlandish, but definitely more iconic dress worn by Bjork in 2001,…
Day 241: Golden Girls
Today my oldest friend (Emilioooo!) is having her birthday party, deep down I know she wanted it to be Golden Girls themed, but thought no-one would commit to the idea. As a birthday gift, today I have taken on a Golden Girls theme, dressing as Sophia, my favourite character. Sophia, played by Estelle Getty, was…
