Retirement Party, Glamour Nanna Costume

A couple of weekends ago I was invited to a ‘retirement’ themed party where you were supposed to dress as your future alter ego. I went as a glamour nanna. You know the type; about 20% stylish, 20% comfort and 60% crazy. Please find me at future art gallery openings and thrift shops. Photo credit:…

Top 5 Themed Restaurants in Japan

Japan was always one of those countries that whenever someone I knew had returned would tell me that “above all the people I know, you will LOVE Japan”.

Adam Maitland from Beetlejuice Costume

Rosie the Robot from The Jetsons Costume

Today I am REALLY proud of my Rosie the Robot from The Jetsons costume! I have been planning this one for a while and have been quite lazy/procrastinating from actually making it.
