Today is the birthday of “the voice” Whitney Houston (RIP). With this I have decided to dress up in one of her most famous outfits from the Queen of the Night film clip back when she was on top.

Day 41: Julie and Julia
In 2009 the film Julie and Julia was released. It chronicles the life of chef Julia Child in the early years of her culinary career with the life of young New Yorker Julie Powell, who aspires to cook all 524 recipes in Child’s cookbook in 365 days. A challenge she described on her popular blog that…
Day 40: John Hughes
On this day in 2009, John Hughes died at age 59. John Hughes would have to be one of my favourite directors of all time. I still remember the first time I watch The Breakfast Club, as most people would. In honour of this great film and director I have decided to dress up as Molly Ringwald’s…
Day 33: Arnold Schwarzenegger
Today is Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 65th birthday. In honour of this great 80’s action hero, I have chosen to dress in a Terminator theme. I can honestly say that I have seen Terminator 2: Judgement Day more times than anyone I know. Mostly because when we used to visit my cousins house when I was little, this was…
Day 29: Little Miss Sunshine
In 2006 on this day Little Miss Sunshine was released. It tells the story of a family determined to get their young daughter into the finals of a beauty pageant, so they take a cross-country trip in their VW bus. With that I have chosen to dress up as Olive in one of the best known scenes…
Day 27: Rainy Day
Today’s theme was a costume I had planned for a rainy day. Pun intended. When I think rain, I think wellingtons and when I think wellingtons, I think Paddington Bear.

Day 26: Egypt Revolution Day
July 23rd is the anniversary of the Egyptian Revolution of 1952. So I thought today I’d go for a classic Egyptian queen theme channelling Cleopatra. And let me tell you, that classic hieroglyphics stance is a bitch to position, tres uncomfortable.

Day 24: Batman
With the release of The Dark Knight Rises this week, it is all but appropriate to have a Batman theme. So I’ve chosen to dress up as my favourite Batman character – Catwoman. Furthermore, I’ve chosen to dress as the best Catwoman of all – Tim Burton’s (ain’t nobody got nothing on Michelle Pfeiffer yo!) The…
Day 18: Cinderella
When I was a little girl, my mother had this puffy baby blue gown that I used to always dream of fitting into. Now that I can, I wouldn’t dream of wearing it anywhere other than for a costume. And with that, I bring you today’s theme: Cinderella. The dress may not be fashionable by…
Day 11: Hobo
As submitted by Stephanie F. I have taken on the theme Hobo today. My inspiration, Derelicte in Zoolander. I’ve got to admit, this is my best work so far, and to think, I made this outfit in 10 minutes using 4 garbage bags, cray. If you think I couldn’t go out partying in this, then you can dere-lick…
