When I logged onto Google this morning I saw that their logo was honoring Star Trek’s 46th anniversary. And whatever is good enough for Google is good enough for me dammit! So that is why today I have decided to dress up as Spock from the original series. Photo Credit: Billy Rubin Black Wig: Spotlight…

Day 71: Abbots Bromley Horn Dance
So the other week I heard about this random English folk dance called the Abbots Bromley Horn dance that takes place in Staffordshire, England.

Day 68: Charlie Sheen

With today being Father’s Day, I thought it appropriate to dress as a famous dad. So I’ve picked one of the most notorious both on screen as well as off – Bill Cosby. Not only did he star in his own sitcom as the father of the Huxtable family for 8 seasons, but also released a book on parenthood…
