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 215: Pac Man
Today I take on the user suggestion of Pac Man from Kylie3036. I’ve gone for the main yellow character which I’ve made from putting crete paper over a hula hoop and attaching a string to it so that it can sit around my neck. This is the cheapest and easiest way to make a Pac Man…
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 213: Australia Day
January 26 is Australia Day, as I am Australian I toiled a lot about who or what I would dress up as today.

Day 212: Opposite Day
January 25 is known as Opposite Day. At first the obvious choice would have been to not dress up in costume as a costume for today (woah, catch 22) but after some discussions with a few mates I have decided to instead create a costume where I wore everything the other way round. So I…

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 210: Football (Soccer)
At the request of my dear friend Waller, today I take on the theme Football (Soccer) in honour of his dear friend Rory that sadly passed away last Saturday. Even though I have never met Rory I know first hand how his passing has affected my close friends. From the outpouring of love and support…
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:…
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…
