On May 19, 1994, Jackie Onassis passed away. Jacqueline Lee Bouvier Kennedy Onassis, was the wife of the 35th President of the United States, John F. Kennedy, and was known for her style and grace.

Day 325: Braveheart
On May 18, 1995, the film, Braveheart, premiered at the Seattle International Film Festival. With Braveheart as my theme for today, I have dressed up as William Wallace, played by Mel Gibson. As I was applying the face make-up, all I kept thinking of was Tobias Funke and the words: I just blue myself. …
Day 324: Daft Punk
Today Daft Punk are having an album launch party in Wee Waa, Australia for their new album Random Access Memories. Unfortunately the French DJ duo will not ACTUALLY be in Wee Waa, but that won’t stop thousands of people descending to the town to hear the album. With this, I have taken on Daft Punk as a theme,…
Day 323: Top Gun
On May 16, 1986, Top Gun starring Tom Cruise was released. With this as today’s theme, I have dressed as the main character, Maverick. I feel the need, the need, to costume.

Day 322: CSI: New York
During this week of May in the US, all of the major networks meet for their upfront meetings to decide what shows will get renewed and what shows will get cancelled. Amongst the shows that were cancelled, was CSI: New York, my theme for today. I thought no costume could be more fitting than CSI: New York, in…
Day 321: Seinfeld
On May 14, 1998, the last episode of Seinfeld aired. Seinfeld would have to be, with The Simpsons, my favourite show of all time. I truly believe that there is no event in life that cannot be referenced with a Seinfeld quote. And with that, today I have taken Seinfeld on as a theme, dressing…

Day 319: Mother’s Day
Today is Mother’s Day in Australia, so with this as my theme, I have decided to dress as Mother Theresa.

Day 318: Dark Shadows
Last year on May 11, Tim Burton’s Dark Shadows was released. Today am I taking on this film as a theme, dressing as the lead character, Barnabas Collins, played by Johnny Depp. It actually creeps me out how much I look like Johnny Depp in this outfit. So much so, that if I was a man, I’d…
