Theme Me: Costume, Fancy Dress & Theme Inspiration

Day 239: Steve Jobs

Today I have taken on the user suggested theme of Steve Jobs from Zoe. I was actually quite surprised with how well this one turned out. Note to anyone out there trying to get this look, it all came into place as soon as I peaked and extended my eyebrows. Photo credit: Wayne Gretski…

Day 238: World Day of Social Justice

February 20 is World Day of Social Justice. Social justice is an underlying principle for peaceful and prosperous coexistence within and between nations. It is a day created by the United Nations General Assembly to raise awareness and promote the principles of gender equality and the rights of indigenous peoples and migrants. For this reason I have…

Day 237: Kick Ass

Today I have taken on the user suggested theme of Kick Ass from Cilla. With that as my theme I have dressed up as Hit Girl – the young, smart ass vigilante who was trained by her father (played by Nick Cage) to be a costumed superhero/assassin. Photo credit: Billy Rubin Purple Wig: Ebay Purple…

Day 236: John Travolta

February 18 is John Travolta’s birthday. I had a lot of choices when it came to which John Travolta costume I could re-create, in the end I went with the funniest I could think of, John Travolta cross-dressing. So today I have dressed up as Edna Turnblad from Hairspray. Please note that I tried to…

Day 235: Paris Hilton

February 17 is Paris Hilton’s birthday. Remember her? Remember ‘that’s hawt”? Good times, back in the early noughties. The awkward lean, duck lips combo is all because of her folks. I once said that I wanted to do for costumes what Paris Hilton did for sex tapes. Let’s hope if I do, there is a big…

Day 234: Edgar Bergen

February 16 is Edgar Bergen’s birthday. Edgar was an American actor and radio performer who was best known as a ventriloquist. In honour of his birthday today I have dressed up as a Ventriloquist dummy. The crux to pulling off this costume was all in the makeup. I’ve uploaded a lot of close ups of the…

Day 233: Virgin Airlines

On February 15 2011, Virgin Airlines was named as having the sexiest air hostesses. Out of a survey they won out with a whopping 53 per cent of the vote! So today with the help of my Smiffy’s air hostess costume, I am a Virgin Airlines flight attendant. Photo Credit: Wayne Gretski Red…

Day 232: Valentine’s Day

Today is Valentine’s day, a day where people express their love for one another in honour of St. Valentine who secretly wed soldiers who were forbidden to marry their lovers. In honour of this, I have dressed up as Cupid, the God of desire, erotic love and affection, often depicted as a cute cherub with…

Day 231: Stockard Channing

February is Stockard Channing’s birthday. Stockard is one of my favourite actresses of all time, I feel she (with Allison Janney and Jane Lynch) steal the show no matter what they’re in. While I had quite a few characters to choose with Miss Channing, I could not go past Rizzo from Grease. She is BY…

Day 230: Christina Ricci

February 12 is Christina Ricci’s birthday, so today I have decided to dress up as one of my favourite characters as portrayed by Miss Ricci – Wednesday Addams. That whole movie was perfectly cast to be honest, I hope to one day be as hot of a Mortica as Angelica Houston was. But for now…
