February is Stockard Channing’s birthday. Stockard is one of my favourite actresses of all time, I feel she (with Allison Janney and Jane Lynch) steal the show no matter what they’re in. While I had quite a few characters to choose with Miss Channing, I could not go past Rizzo from Grease. She is BY…

Day 230: Christina Ricci
February 12 is Christina Ricci’s birthday, so today I have decided to dress up as one of my favourite characters as portrayed by Miss Ricci – Wednesday Addams. That whole movie was perfectly cast to be honest, I hope to one day be as hot of a Mortica as Angelica Houston was. But for now…
Day 227: Carmen Miranda
February 9 is Carmen Miranda’s birthday. Carmen Miranda was a Portuguese-born Brazilian samba singer, dancer, Broadway actress, and film star who was popular in the 1940’s and 1950’s. She is best known in popular culture from her signature fruit hat worn in the 1943 movie The Gang’s All Here. Therefore pulling off this outfit hinged ENTIRELY…
Day 226: Juliet
Today I am taking on the user suggested theme of Juliet from Zoe. I assumed that she meant Juliet from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, so I have taken on a classic Shakespearean/Elizabethan fashion costume. Today’s amazing dress came from Smiffy’s Australia who read about my challenge on Mashable and donated few costumes to the cause! How amazing…

Day 219: Brandon Lee
February 1st is Brandon Lee’s birthday.

I have decided to dress as the character Eric Draven from the film. Photo credit: Billy…

Day 214: Nanny McPhee
On January 27, 2006 Nanny McPhee was released. Rather fitting with the current gloomy, rainy, London-esque weather I have dressed up as Nanny McPhee, warts and all. It was almost too easy achieving this look with only the tiniest of makeup. Photo credit: Holmes Black Lace Top: Tres Beau (My Mother’s) Black Long Skirt: Hotline (My Mother’s) Black…
Day 211: Ed Helms
January 24 is Ed Helms birthday, you would most likely recognise Helms for his role as Stu from The Hangover films. So today I have decided to dress as Stu from the second Hangover film where it is the night after his buck’s night and awakes with a face tattoo. To get the full effect…
Day 209: Linda Blair
January 22 is Linda Blair’s birthday, so today I have decided to dress up as her most famous role – Regan – from The Exorcist. Please note if you are eating, stop, or come back to look at the rest of the pictures later. Photo credit: Billy Rubin White Nightgown: My Mothers Vomit:…
