Today I have been summoned for Jury Duty. So of course after the initial – “Oh Fuck” – I thought “What costume will I wear?”. So I settled on a prisoner. So inappropriate, but oh so right. Photo credit: Billy Rubin Striped Prisoner Dress and Hat: A gift from Bakers Dozen Ball…

Day 88: Saudi Arabia
September 23 is Saudi Arabia’s National Day. So I have chosen to dress up as a cashed up oil sheik. Which considering the riots as of late, probably wasn’t the safest choice to be seen taken photos in on my street…but I’m not dead, so all good! Photo credit: Billy Rubin Red Headscarf:…
Day 87: Circus
Today I am going to a Fringe Festival Mystery Bus event where you get dropped at a secret location for a magical night into Sydney’s underbelly, showcasing some of the best arts and culture the inner west has to offer. Tonight’s theme: Circus. With that I have chosen to dress up as a plate twirler….
Day 83: World Water Monitoring Day
September 18 is World Water Monitoring Day. This made me instantly think of the water sprinklers I used to play under as a child that had the massive changing water streams. Man they were fun. Let’s all spare a thought for the children of today who don’t get to run wild and free under water…
Day 82: International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer
September 16 was the International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer. When I found this out I immediately thought of all the poor English travellers who, used to having an ozone layer in England, get ridiculously sun burnt while in Australia. So that is why I have dressed as sun burnt POM/backpacker today. I was really surprised how well rubbed-in red lipstick…
Day 81: Ghostbusters
My dear friend Kat Urban suggested that I do a Ghostbusters theme, so I waited until it was her birthday to take it on. Now, rather than do a boring ghostbuster suit and vacuum number, I thought it would be funnier to dress as the Stay Puff Marshmallow Man from the first film. I hope you enjoy it Kat –…
Day 80: Captain Planet Day
September 15 is Captain Planet day. Today is the 22nd anniversary of the TV show Captain Planet, my favourite TV show as a child. So I’ve decided to dress as Linka, my favourite planeteer. GO PLANET!

Day 79: Friday
Last week at The Inappropriate Olympics, I promised my friend MartyPantaloons that the coming Friday I would dress up as Rebecca Black…then we butchered her song as we all drunkenly sang it in the park at 10pm at night. And yes, it is possible to butcher a terrible song so long as you are drunk enough. Just…
Day 78: International Chocolate Day
September 13 is International Chocolate Day. One may say the most glorious of celebration days there are to be had. So today I tried to dress up as the funniest looking chocolate I could – the Hershey Kiss. Please note that I nearly suffocated to death for the making of these blog photos #commitment Photo credit: Wayne Gretski…
Day 77: Day of Conception (Russia)
September 12 is celebrated as the Day of Conception for Russia. Day of Conception (also known as Procreation Day) is a Russian Holiday made popular by the region of Ulyanovsk, birthplace of Vladimir Lenin. Couples who then have a child on June 12th are rewarded by the regional government. We have a baby bonus, they have…
