Dr Zoidberg from Futurama Costume
One week left! On ebay I found this face mask that was so perfect for a Dr Zoidberg Costume that I couldn’t help but buy it and go on the hunt to find the rest of the outfit. Eventually I was able to source the white lab coat from my partners school and the scrubs…
Ewok, from Star Wars, Costume
This week the final trailer for the new Star Wars film came out and the internet went wild. I thought then that it might be prudent that I take on another star wars costume for the blog (I’ve previously done Princess Leia and Hans Solo In Carbonite) so I went with the cutest characters created…

Mounted Deer Head Costume
A while back I saw an image of this amazing face paint that made you a deer, and I’ve been keeping it in my back-pocket until I could think of something more to do with this than just a deer costume, so I’ve opted to create a mounted deer head costume that is a bit…
Speedy Gonzales Costume
A little bit of a flashback to my childhood with this Speedy Gonzales costume. When you watch this cartoon now, it’s pretty heavy on the lazy Mexican stereotype…awks Photo credit: Frosted Tips Sombrero: Hot Dolar White polo top: Uniform shop White pants: Vinnie’s Red Tie: Hot Dollar Mouse tail: Homemade from cotton wool and stockings
Monkey Business Pun Costume
