Theme Me: Costume, Fancy Dress & Theme Inspiration

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…

Day 297: Craig David

Today is ANOTHER friends birthday, who has requested the theme of Craig David. So with this ghetto request I have decided to go for the classic Craig David look ala the album cover of his debut album, Born To Do It. Happy Birthday Ganga!

Day 296: Mad Scientist

Today is I’m a Scientist’s birthday who has requested a Mad Scientist theme. When I thought of what costume I could create for this theme, I tried to think of the craziest thing I could come up with. Then I thought, what could be madder than a scientist who decapitated themselves in the name of science? Let…

Day 295: Ginger Spice (Spice Girls Week)

Today is the last day of Spice Girls week with my final Spice Girl costume of Ginger Spice, also known as Geri Halliwell. Ginger was my second favourite of the group because she was the loud-mouthed one and I could relate to that 😉 As an added bonus today, I have taken the time to Photoshop all…

Day 294: Posh Spice (Spice Girls Week)

April 17 is Victoria Beckham’s birthday and the reason that Spice Girls week has fallen over this particular week. So today I have dressed as Posh Spice, my favourite Spice Girl. Yes, you read that right, she was my favourite. Why you ask? She was the most glamourous and lady-like, and as a chubby little…

Day 293: Scary Spice (Spice Girls Week)

For the third day of Spice Girls Week I take on the second Melanie of the group – Melanie Brown, a.k.a. Scary Spice. I can tell you this right now, I’m WELL over showing my midriff, unlike the Melanie’s I do not have the abs for this kind of get-up! Photo credit: Billy…

Day 292: Sporty Spice (Spice Girls Week)

Today is the second day of Spice Girls Week and I am taking on my least favourite of the group – Sporty Spice – a.k.a. Melanie Chisholm. Why was she my least favourite you ask? Her voice. It was too nasal for my liking. But I really liked when she did that duet with Bryan Adams. Conundrum. ANYWAY,…

Day 291: Baby Spice (Spice Girls Week)

Today is the first day of Spice Girls week as requested by Amanda. The Spice Girls were my favourite band when growing up so this is going to be a fun week! The first spice girl taken on is Emma Bunton, better known as Baby Spice. Photo credit: Holmes Blonde Wig: Dollar King White Babydoll…

Day 290: Brooch

Today is PatchworkDan‘s birthday party which has a brooch theme. Simple enough – wear a brooch and you’re done… right? Not when you’re me. Initially I thought of going as the Queen, but then I thought of the mockingjay pin brooch from The Hunger Games and I knew that I had to come as Katniss Everdeen. Happy Birthday PatchworkDan! And…
