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…

Carrie Covered in Blood Costume
A couple of weeks ago for Halloween I created a Carrie mid-pigs-blood-bucket-pour costume. The mid-pour was created by having a metal wire fitted to the tiara and then fitted into the bucket.While it was quite the balancing act to wear it, it was also quite dramatic…too bad not too many people knew of the 70’s…

Charlie Brown Costume
Today I have taken on a Charlie Brown costume, which is pretty simple to put together. The whole hair/head situation is a bit awkward, but I think it KINDA works. If you’re bald, this costume’s sure to be a winner… Photo credit: Billy Rubin Yellow Polo Shirt: Jay Jays (with Black Electrical Tape Zig-Zag Line)…
Miley Cyrus Wrecking Ball Costume
Arguably the most popular costume this year at Halloween will be some version of Miley Cyrus. She and her tongue been covered to death over the past couple of months, so expect to see recreations in some form or another at every Halloween party you hit up this year. Here is my take on Miley’s…
Stick Figure Costume
Today I thought I’d opt for a little bit of a quirky costume with my take on a stick figure drawing come to life. Also, as always, super easy to re-create for your Halloween costume party needs. Photo credit: Billy Rubin White Onesie Zip-suit: Splendour in the Grass with Black Electrical Tape…

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 346: Dilbert
On June 8, 1957, Scott Adams was born. Scott Adams is the creator of Dilbert, a cartoon that satirises the white-collar office space. So today I have dressed as the title character from the comic – Dilbert. Photo credit: Billy Rubin Dilbert Head: Homemade from Cardboard and Texta White Short Sleeve Shirt: Crossroad…
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…
