During this week of May in the US, all of the major networks meet for their upfront meetings to decide what shows will get renewed and what shows will get cancelled. Amongst the shows that were cancelled, was CSI: New York, my theme for today. I thought no costume could be more fitting than CSI: New York, in…

Day 321: Seinfeld
On May 14, 1998, the last episode of Seinfeld aired. Seinfeld would have to be, with The Simpsons, my favourite show of all time. I truly believe that there is no event in life that cannot be referenced with a Seinfeld quote. And with that, today I have taken Seinfeld on as a theme, dressing…

Day 319: Mother’s Day
Today is Mother’s Day in Australia, so with this as my theme, I have decided to dress as Mother Theresa.

Day 318: Dark Shadows
Last year on May 11, Tim Burton’s Dark Shadows was released. Today am I taking on this film as a theme, dressing as the lead character, Barnabas Collins, played by Johnny Depp. It actually creeps me out how much I look like Johnny Depp in this outfit. So much so, that if I was a man, I’d…
Day 317: Railroad
In 1869 on May 10, a golden spike was driven at Promontory, Utah, marking the completion of the first transcontinental railroad in the United States of America. So today I have decided to take on Railroad as my theme, dressing as a railway crossing. Photo credit: Jelly Beaney Railway Crossing Headpiece: Homemade…

His films include Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Be Kind Rewind. Today I have…
Day 314: Where’s Wally
Today is my dear friend Dungog’s birthday, at her request I have taken on a Where’s Wally theme, dressing as Wally (or for all my American followers – Where’s Waldo).

Day 313: International No Diet Day
International No Diet Day is celebrated on May 6 and is a celebration of body acceptance, including fat acceptance and body shape diversity. When I was trying to think of what I could dress up as today I tried to think of what costume would most represent a non-diet mentality. And then I thought of…
