Day 43: Whitney Houston

Today is the birthday of “the voice” Whitney Houston (RIP). With this I have decided to dress up in one of her most famous outfits from the Queen of the Night film clip back when she was on top.   Photo Credit: C-Bomb   Black Bob Wig: Spotlight Silver Headpiece: Homemade (Silver paper cut and wrapped around…

Day 42: Charlize Theron

Yesterday was Charlize Theron’s birthday. In honour of this today I have dressed up as my favourite Charlize Theron character – Rita Leeds from Arrested Development. For anyone who hasn’t seen the show, fix this, Arrested Development is brilliant. And yes, I know I look like a nut, but her character was mentally challenged, so it just…

Day 41: Julie and Julia

In 2009 the film Julie and Julia was released. It chronicles the life of chef Julia Child in the early years of her culinary career with the life of young New Yorker Julie Powell, who aspires to cook all 524 recipes in Child’s cookbook in 365 days. A challenge she described on her popular blog that…

Day 40: John Hughes

On this day in 2009, John Hughes died at age 59. John Hughes would have to be one of my favourite directors of all time. I still remember the first time I watch The Breakfast Club, as most people would. In honour of this great film and director I have decided to dress up as Molly Ringwald’s…

Day 39: International Beer Day

August 5th is International Beer Day. That’s right, a whole day dedicated to celebrating beer (other than Oktoberfest of course). So I’ve decided to dress up as the most famous beer I know – Duff Beer, but more specifically Surly Duff of Simpsons fame. I feel like I should have known this day existed before now. I…

Day 38: Johnny Cash Day

I know what you’re thinking, she means Johnny Cash’s birthday… and no, I don’t. August 4 is ACTUALLY Johnny Cash Day. He has a day, who knew? Wikipedia, that’s who.   Photo Credit: Holmes   Black Suit: EM (My brothers) Black Shirt: ASOS Black Leather Shoes: Fabiani (my brothers)    

Day 37: Jeans for Genes Day

August 3rd is Jeans for Genes day, a day where you can wear your jeans for a good cause – raising money for children’s medical research – you can donate here! I’ve never been so proud to dress up in a Canadian suit in my life. My personal favourite touch – the jean waistband bow headband…homemade…

Day 36: Republic of Macedonia

August 2 is the Republic Day of Macedonia, so I decided to dress up as the Macedonian flag. It’s a bit of a random one, but turned out quite funny.   Photo Credit: Wayne Gretski   Yellow Head Scarf: My Mothers Red Dress: Glassons Yellow Stripes: Printed and Pinned Paper Red Opaque Tights: ASOS Berry…

Day 35: World Scout Day

August 1st celebrates the anniversary of the first day of the Brownsea Island Camp in 1907, where Robert Baden-Powell began scouting. It is known as World Scout Day. While I have never been a scout, I feel as if I am in spirit because I’m always prepared (seriously, like organised to the shizzle) and I like cookies….

Day 34: Heroes Day

July 31 is known as Heroes Day in Malaysia where they remember war heroes. With this theme of Heroes Day, I have chosen instead to dress up as a character from Heroes, Claire Bennet. Claire was the high-school cheerleader with the power of rapid cellular regeneration. You know what they say: save cheerleader, save world.   Photo Credit:…
