January 30 is Insane Answering Machine Message Day. As soon as I found that out, I instantly knew who I was going to dress up as: George Costanza. Why? In episode 15 of the 8th season, The Susie, George creates an answering machine message modeled on the song The Greatest American Hero so that he may screen his…

Day 216: Oprah
January 29 is Oprah Winfrey’s birthday. Oprah has had many looks over the years, but I have decided to try my hand at thin Oprah from the early 90’s. Specifically when she brought in a trailer of fat to show how much weight she had lost on her show. Photo credit: Billy Rubin …
Day 208: Wonder Woman
On January 21 2011 NBC announced that they had ordered a pilot of Wonder Woman, after shooting a pilot and much speculation NBC announced in May that it would not be picking the project up for a series. This seems to happen a lot with the Wonder Woman franchise *cough* Joss Whedon movie. In the hopes that Wonder…
Day 206: Katey Sagal
January 19 is Katey Sagal’s birthday. I know Katey best for her role as Peggy in Married with Children, but thought that a Leela costume would be funnier so went with that. Hopefully I was right, if not, feel free to voice your opinions in the comment section below. Photo credit: Billy Rubin …
Day 205: Winnie the Pooh
January 18 is Winnie the Pooh day as this is the day A.A. Milne’s, the creater, was born in 1882. With the theme of Winnie the Pooh I’ve decided to dress up as Owl…mostly because I already had an owl onesie. Don’t worry, the costume Gods punished me by making this day the hottest day in…
Day 200: Julia Louis-Dreyfus
January 13 is Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ birthday. Growing up I can honestly say that no female character on television effected my personality as much as Elaine from Seinfeld did, so of course that is who I have decided to dress up as today. To this day I am still in awe of how someone could choreograph a dance…
Day 199: Pippi Longstocking
Today I take on another users suggestion; rhiannac xxxx suggested that I take on the theme of Pippi Longstocking. As many would know the crux of this outfit is in Pippi’s red hair, to achieve the ‘stick out’ angle of the ponytails, I wrapped the hair around bent coat-hanger wire. Photo credit: Billy Rubin…
Day 197: Sunrise
Today I was lucky enough to appear on the Australian morning television show Sunrise. With the concept of a morning television show I have decided to dress up as a breakfast news presenter, with a twist – business up top, pajamas down bottom. (Thanks go to ‘Emilioooo!’ for coming up with the idea!) If you are…
Day 179: Festivus
For the tenth day of Christmas, we navigate away from the traditional symbols of Christmas to bring you the anti-Christmas – Festivus. Festivus (for the rest of us) is celebrated on November 23 and was made popular through an episode of Seinfeld. Festivus was conceived by writer Dan O’Keefe and was celebrated by his family as…
Day 151: Nicole Polizzi
Who is Nicole Polizzi you ask? You may know her by a better name: Snooki, from Jersey Shore. It was her birthday last Friday and I just found out. Missed opportunity? Not when you have a year of costumes to fill it’s not! Photo credit: Holmes Leopard Print Top: Thailand Black Sequin Skirt: ASOS…
