Guess Who Maria Costume
Today I’ve taken on another easy one for myself and you to recreate for Halloween – a Guess Who place card costume. All you need for this is some cardboard and in my case for Maria – a green beret.

Blonde Bombshell Pun Costume
In the lead up to Halloween, I have once again taken up the challenge to do a daily post for the month of October! This year though, I am going to go back to basics and do a costume post every day to inspire you for Halloween 2014! Seeing as how I’m dropping this bombshell…
Manga School Girl Costume
Last week was my new works’ Christmas party. It was loosely themed Japanese – which means that dressing up in costume was optional. Optional costume is not in my vocabulary….unless it comes after ‘Live your life in’. So I dressed up as a manga school girl, the whole costume held together with the creepy eyelid…

Day 361: Joss Whedon
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 341: Pop Art
Today I am taking on a user-suggested theme of Pop Art from Noodles. With this as my theme I have tried to replicate Roy Lichtenstein’s comic book art style and look that he is so famous for. The makeup took about 30 minutes, but I’m really happy with it! Photo credit: Holmes Black…
Day 314: Where’s Wally
Today is my dear friend Dungog’s birthday, at her request I have taken on a Where’s Wally theme, dressing as Wally (or for all my American followers – Where’s Waldo).
