Day 68: Charlie Sheen
September 3rd is Charlie Sheen’s birthday. Charlie Sheen’s fame grew tremendously last years because of his ‘meltdown’ interview on Good Morning America where he said such gems as: “I am on a drug, it’s called Charlie Sheen. It’s not available because if you try it you will die. Your face will melt off and your children will…
Day 67: Father’s Day
With today being Father’s Day, I thought it appropriate to dress as a famous dad. So I’ve picked one of the most notorious both on screen as well as off – Bill Cosby. Not only did he star in his own sitcom as the father of the Huxtable family for 8 seasons, but also released a book on parenthood…
Day 66: Gloria Estefan
September 1st is Gloria Estefan’s birthday. So I’ve decided to dress as she appeared on her Greatest Hits album in 1992. I loved her for Turn The Beat Around, but this was much more dramatic.

Day 62: Jennifer Coolidge
August 28 is Jennifer Coolidge’s birthday. She was made famous by one particular role – Stifler’s Mom. Interesting fact: the “scotch” in my glass is watered down soy sauce. Also, this theme has made me realise I’m going to make a very good cougar one day…. Photo Credit: Wayne Gretski Black Plunge Dress:…
Day 61: Sarah Chalke
August 27 is Sarah Chalke’s birthday. Sarah Chalke is best known for her role as Dr. Elliot Reid from Scubs. This is who I have chosen to dress as for today.
