Challenge Over!

As you know between my 26th and 27th birthday, I challenged myself to dress up in a different costume every day for a year, for fun. But what I was keeping on the down low was that for the the last 100 days of my challenge, I recorded a few seconds of video. For the last…

Day 365: Finish

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! So this is it. My final costume. Today completes my year-long challenge to dress in a theme, every day, for a year! (Ridiculous. What kind of weirdo does something like this?! …me, that’s who)   Today I take on the theme of ‘Finish’ to symbolise the end of the challenge, dressing as a marathon runner…

Day 364: Mary

Today is the second last costume of my year-long daily costume challenge. When brainstorming with friends about what would be my last costume, many people thought that I should take on a Mary theme, as in just go as me. I thought that would be a HUGE cop out and a waste of my last…

Day 362: Bewitched

  On June 24, 2005, Bewitched was released. The film was nowhere near the amazing that was the TV series, but in honour of my childhood years spent watching the show I have taken it on as a theme, dressing as the best character – Endora – Samantha’s mother. One of my favourite aspects of…

Day 361: Joss Whedon

June 23 is Joss Whedon’s birthday. Joss is one of my favourite writer/director/creators. It all started with Buffy, The Vampire Slayer…movie, yes, there was a movie, and I loved it and it was written by Joss Whedon. Then when I got older and heard they were making it into a TV series I was ecstatic…

Day 360: Comedy Company

  Today is my brother’s birthday – Happy Birthday Holmes! So I asked him what theme he’s like me to take on, he said either Acropolis Now or Comedy Company, and seeing as how I couldn’t find a bedazzled bra so that I could dress as Effie, I chose Comedy Company and opted for a…

Day 359: Lara Croft: Tomb Raider

On June 21, 2011, the film Lara Croft: Tomb Raider was released in Australia. Based on the video game, the film follows Lara Croft, played by Angelina Jolie, who battles villains to recover important and ancient artifacts. So today, I have decided to dress as Lara Croft as you see her in the film, and…

On June 19, 1991, The Rocketeer premiered. The Rocketeer was a film about a young pilot who finds a prototype jetpack that allows him to fly and then becomes a masked hero. Not many people know about this film, but I remember loving it as a child and rumour has it it may be remade….
