On June 11, 2004, Napoleon Dynamite was released. The film soon became a cult hit with it’s offbeat humour and awkward characters and moments. With this as my theme, I have decided to dress as the main character, Napoleon Dynamite. (Previously I have dressed up as Rex for the blog) Before I leave you, here are…

King Kong the musical has opened in Australia this month so I have decided to take it on as a theme dressing as Kong himself holding Ann Darrow. Photo credit: Billy Rubin Guerilla Suit: Smiffy’s Ann Darrow: Barbie Doll Liked what you saw? Why not like me on Facebook?
Day 347: Natalie Portman
June 9 is Natalie Portman’s birthday. I was spoilt for choice with characters I could dress up as today, but none more dramatic than Nina as the black swan from Black Swan. The intense make-up took about 40 minutes, but looked amazing and pretty spot on if I do say so myself. Photo credit: Holmes…
Day 340: The Fifth Element
Yesterday was my best friend Reindeer Games’ birthday. As part of her birthday present today I am taking on one of her favourite films as a theme – The Fifth Element – dressing up as Leeloo. Reindeer Games, I hope you like it!!! Photo credit: Holmes Red Wig: Ebay (Borrowed from Dungog) White…
Day 337: Joan of Arc
On May 30, 1431 in Rouen, France, Joan of Arc died. Joan of Arc was born in France and through divine guidance led the French army to several important victories during the Hundred Years’ War. Her demise came when she was captured by the Burgundians and was sold to the English. They then put…

Day 334: Oompa Loompa
Today I officially have one month left of my year-long challenge – NOT LONG NOW! And as I couldn’t think of an appropriate ‘one month to go’ theme, I have chosen to take on a user-suggested theme that has been requested multiple times – Ooompa Loompa. Photo credit: Billy Rubin Green Oompa Loompa…
Day 333: E.T.
On the 26th of May, 1982, E.T. premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. Steven Spielberg’s film about a lonely boy befriending an extraterrestrial from outer space was a childhood favourite – as it was for many. So with this as my theme today, I have chosen to dress as Elliott as he heroically escapes from the government with E.T, to get…
Day 332: Return of the Jedi
On May 25, 1983, Star Wars: Return of the Jedi was released. While I have done a Star Wars theme previously, today I take on Return of the Jedi as my theme, with my costume representing an event within it specifically – the event obviously being Han Solo frozen in carbonite.

Day 330: Mary Poppins
On May 23, 1973, Mary Poppins was re-released for the THIRD time after it’s initial release on August 27, 1964. Mary Poppins was a childhood favourite for many reasons, but let’s face it, the obvious was that she was “practically perfect in every way” and we shared the same name. A couple of years ago…
