Today I am taking on the user-suggested theme of Poison Ivy by Fernanda. I thought it appropriate that I take on this theme the day after Uma Thurman’s birthday as she played the role of Poison Ivy in Batman & Robin. Man, that was a terrible film. Photo credit: Holmes Red Long Wig: Ebay (Borrowed…

Day 306: Uma Thurman
Today is Uma Thurman’s birthday. Uma has starred in many films taking on many roles, but none more career-defining than her role in the Quentin Tarantino film, Pulp Fiction.

Day 300: This Is Sparta 300 (MEME Week)
Today is the 300th day of my year-long challenge to dress up in a theme everyday. Ridiculous. Who ever thought that I’d last this long? (I did, haters did not) The funny thing is that I feel as if it’s gone really quickly. People ask me all the time if I’ll miss it when I’m…

Day 280: Amanda Bynes
April 3rd is Amanda Bynes’ birthday. As of late there has been a lot of talk about the mental well-being as of late due to her abnormal activity on her Twitter and her ‘resignation’ as an actress. So I thought why not throw back to a simpler time where she was still an actress? Today I have dressed as…
Day 279: International Children’s Book Day
