Day 341: Pop Art

Today I am taking on a user-suggested theme of Pop Art from Noodles. With this as my theme I have tried to replicate Roy Lichtenstein’s comic book art style and look that he is so famous for. The makeup took about 30 minutes, but I’m really happy with it!   Photo credit: Holmes   Black…

Day 339: Marilyn Monroe

June 1 is Marilyn Monroe’s birthday. Marilyn Monroe was the original blonde bombshell. Men wanted her, women wanted to be her, even today, decades later she is still a sex symbol in popular culture. Today I have dressed as her in that famous white dress from Seven Year Itch…isn’t it delicious? And yes, that is…

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…
