Theme Me: Costume, Fancy Dress & Theme Inspiration

Day 309: Austin Powers

On May 2, 1997, Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery was released, so this is why I have taken it on as my theme today dressing as a Fembot. Fembots are beautiful women dressed in provocative outfits who were used by Dr. evil against Austin Powers. They are known for their greatest weapon – guns hidden…

Day 308: Spongebob Squarepants

On May 1, 1999, Spongebob Squarepants first aired in the US on Nickelodeon. When I used to work in Smaland in IKEA, only two movies would be able to attract a big enough crowd of children to keep the place in order when we were busy, one was Aladdin and the other was The Spongebob…

Day 307: Poison Ivy

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…
