Everyone knows Ghost for this iconic scene. The love scene where Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze make a clay vase/pot. So I thought what could be more iconic than to try and re-create it in full as a costume. The image of Patrick Swayze is a little dark, so it’s hard to see in some…

Prince, Purple Rain, Tribute Costume
A week ago today the great musician and humanitarian Prince passed away. I was lucky enough to grow up being influenced by his music because I had older brothers. For this reason I could not miss the opportunity to pay tribute to him in the best way that I can, costume. I tried to find…
Adam Maitland from Beetlejuice Costume
I loved Beetlejuice as a kid! So today I have taken on Adam Maitland from Beetlejuice where they have their monster/scary stretchy faces. The mask was made with just folded paper on top of a cap, so I’m pretty stoked with how well it turned out on such a dodgy concept. Photo credit: Noodle Noo…
Day 352: 80’s Movie
Today I take on another user-suggested theme – 80’s movie. There were SOOOOOO many good options here – I could do a John Hughes film like Breakfast Club or Pretty in Pink… hang on, nope, already done those. A John Carpenter film like Big Trouble in Little China? Nope, that one too. So then I thought,…
Day 333: E.T.
On the 26th of May, 1982, E.T. premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. Steven Spielberg’s film about a lonely boy befriending an extraterrestrial from outer space was a childhood favourite – as it was for many. So with this as my theme today, I have chosen to dress as Elliott as he heroically escapes from the government with E.T, to get…
Day 268: Scarface
In Australia on March 22 1984, Scarface was released. With this as my theme, I take on Michelle Pfeiffer’s character and have dressed as Elvira, Tony Montana’s wife, today. If you can’t tell, I love Michelle Pfeiffer, I just think she’s divine, and in this film her fashion style is off the charts. The outfit I’ve…
Day 203: John Carpenter
January 16 is John Carpenter’s birthday. As a child I grew up watching (and re-watching) John Carpenter films, namely Big Trouble in Little China. When my brothers and I would have to hang up the washing, at the end when the basket was empty, one of us would ALWAYS put the basket on top of…
Day 198: Pretty In Pink
Today I thought I would take on a user suggested theme. Belinda has suggested that I take on Pretty in Pink, so I have decided to dress as the main character Andie (Molly Ringwald). As you can see from the main image, I have attempted to re-create the look as seen in one of the…
Day 8: Joey Jeremiah
If you were a kid growing up in the 90’s in Australia, then there is a high probability that you have watched Degrassi Junior High. A teen drama that followed the lives of a group of students in junior high tackling adult issues. That, or you saw the remake they did a couple of years ago that…
Day 4: Canada Day
The 1st of July is Canada Day. So what better way to spend it then dressed up as my favourite fictional Canadian character: Robin Scherbatsky…or rather, Robin Sparkles. For anyone who isn’t an avid fan of How I Met Your Mother, Robin Sparkles is the teen-aged Robin Scherbatsky’s alter ego which she used during her time as a…
