Day 268: Scarface
In Australia on March 22 1984, Scarface was released. With this as my theme, I take on Michelle Pfeiffer’s character and have dressed as Elvira, Tony Montana’s wife, today. If you can’t tell, I love Michelle Pfeiffer, I just think she’s divine, and in this film her fashion style is off the charts. The outfit I’ve…
Day 256: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
On March 10 1997, Joss Whedon’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer debuted on the WB. Ever since I was a young girl, I have loved Buffy. It originally started when I was 7 and my family rented the Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie with Kristy Swanson and Luke Perry. That day I watched it 5 times on repeat. Fast forward…

Day 250: Catherine O’Hara
March 4 is Catherine O’Hara’s birthday.

Day 243: Lucha Libre

Many of you may have been introduced to it through the film Nacho Libre. Mexican wrestling is characterised by colourful, full face masks that are used to disguise the wrestlers and if removed…
Day 237: Kick Ass
Today I have taken on the user suggested theme of Kick Ass from Cilla. With that as my theme I have dressed up as Hit Girl – the young, smart ass vigilante who was trained by her father (played by Nick Cage) to be a costumed superhero/assassin. Photo credit: Billy Rubin Purple Wig: Ebay Purple…
Day 236: John Travolta
February 18 is John Travolta’s birthday. I had a lot of choices when it came to which John Travolta costume I could re-create, in the end I went with the funniest I could think of, John Travolta cross-dressing. So today I have dressed up as Edna Turnblad from Hairspray. Please note that I tried to…
