Today I am taking on the user-submitted theme of Under the Sea by Cynthia dressing as a jellyfish. The magic of this costume hinges on the battery-operated lights that mimic the illumination that jellyfish have in water at night.

Day 221: Rocket Day
February 3rd is Rocket Day in New Zealand. Run by the New Zealand Rocket Association, it is a day for people to show off the rockets they have built – big and small. So today I have decided to dress as a rocket ship and have made the costume myself using cardboard, aluminium foil and cellophane. …
Day 206: Katey Sagal

Day 170: Christmas Tree

Day 162: Chess
Today I took on the suggested theme of Chess from Theres a 21st century? So I have decided to dress up as a chess piece, more notably a rook. If the costume looks a bit dodgy (more than usual) it’s because the wind was being insanely strong and it was all I could do not to blow away. Photo…

Day 114: Emu
Today I had a request from a workmate to dress as an emu, I agreed and then I found out that today is loud shirt day. I had made a promise though and just as a Lannister pays his debts, I keep my promises. Photo credit: Herbnitz Black V-Neck Top: Cotton On Black…
