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 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 –…
