September 26th is Dominion day for New Zealand. And who has more dominion over New Zealand than sheep? Did you know that for every human, there are 7 sheep? In 2003 it used to be 20 sheep to every human! Well enough with the New Zealand sheep to human facts, today I have dressed up…

Day 44: Jazz Aficionado
As suggested by There’s a 21st Century? I have dressed up as a Jazz Aficionado, namely a Jazz singer. And because of it all day I’ve had the Simpsons Jazz Man song stuck in my head: When the jazz man testifies, the faithless man believes – JAZZ MAN! Photo Credit: C-Bomb Black Off Shoulder Dress:…
Day 23: Colombian Independence Day
July 20th celebrates the independence declaration of Colombia from Spain in 1810. So I’ve decided to dress up as the famous Colombian actress, Sofia Vergara from Modern Family.
