Today I am taking on the user-suggested theme of Poison Ivy by Fernanda. I thought it appropriate that I take on this theme the day after Uma Thurman’s birthday as she played the role of Poison Ivy in Batman & Robin. Man, that was a terrible film. Photo credit: Holmes Red Long Wig: Ebay (Borrowed…

Day 306: Uma Thurman
Today is Uma Thurman’s birthday. Uma has starred in many films taking on many roles, but none more career-defining than her role in the Quentin Tarantino film, Pulp Fiction. It is this character – Mia Wallace – that I take on today, in her post-overdose, adrenaline syringe get-up. Photo credit: Billy Rubin Black Bob Wig: Hot Dollar White…
Day 305: Frat House Toga Party
Today I have been invited to an American Frat House Toga Party. I’ve always wanted to a toga themed party, so I guess after tonight I can die happy. It was honestly the easiest costume in the world to make, it’s a safety-pinned sheet of material. If you wanted you could make it one shouldered, but…
Day 304: Jedward (The Loop)
Today I am lucky enough to be on The Loop on Channel Eleven. Today’s theme was chosen by the audience of The Loop via a poll on their Facebook page. The options were Mid-Meltdown Britney Spears, Kimbra, Freddie Mercury and Jedward. It was a landslide win by Jedward. Jedward are an Irish pop duo made up…
Day 303: Joseph Ducreux/ Archaic Rap (MEME Week)
Today is the final day of MEME Week on Theme Me. I feel that I could almost go on forever re-creating these, but the fun had to end some day, and that day is today. So for my final MEME costume of the week, I have re-created the Joseph Ducreux Archaic Rap MEME. Joseph Ducreux…
Day 302: Chubby Bubbles (MEME Week)
Today for MEME week I take on the Chubby Bubbles MEME. Chubby Bubbles Girl is a photoshop meme based on a photograph of a girl running through a yard with a bubble maker in her hand. I cannot tell you how many times my brother and I tried to capture bubbles in this photo, that’s…
Day 301: Texts from Hillary (MEME Week)
For the fourth day of MEME Week I’ve decided to take on one of the most powerful women in the world – Hillary Clinton – in the Tumblr famous meme – Texts from Hillary. The blog was created by Adam Smith and Stacy Lambe who both work in public relations in Washington, D.C. On April 4th,…
Day 300: This Is Sparta 300 (MEME Week)
Today is the 300th day of my year-long challenge to dress up in a theme everyday. Ridiculous. Who ever thought that I’d last this long? (I did, haters did not) The funny thing is that I feel as if it’s gone really quickly. People ask me all the time if I’ll miss it when I’m…
Day 299: McKayla Is Not Impressed (MEME Week)
For the second day of MEME week, I have decided to take on the McKayla Is Not Impressed MEME. The MEME is an image of McKayla Marmoney after she won the silver medal in the vault finals. Maroney was photographed on the medal podium while giving a brief look of disappointment with her lips pursed to…
Day 298: Antoine Dodson (MEME Week)
Today is the first day of MEME week. Over the past couple of years internet memes have risen to great popularity as a way of communicating humour and parodying current events. A meme is defined as an element of a culture or behaviour that may be passed from one individual to another by nongenetic means, especially…
