Sometimes I’ll do something and think – that is so raven. And then other times I’ll do something and think – that way not very raven. Today is not one of those days. Today is Raven-Symoné’s birthday, so I have decided to dress up as a raven (bird)….did you see what I did there? Photo credit: Billy…

Day 162: Chess
Today I took on the suggested theme of Chess from Theres a 21st century? So I have decided to dress up as a chess piece, more notably a rook. If the costume looks a bit dodgy (more than usual) it’s because the wind was being insanely strong and it was all I could do not to blow away. Photo…
Day 160: Meat
Today I am taking on the user suggestion theme of Meat from Paul. For obvious reasons I have used Lady Gaga’s meat dress as inspiration. Please note my version of printed out pieces of meat held together on me with sticky tape is a much more pleasant smelling version of the dress. Photo credit:…
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…
