On August 25, 1939 The Wizard of Oz was released. In honour of this timeless classic, I have decided to dress up as Dorothy. Thanks go to Reindeer Games who helped me make the dress. Photo Credit: Holmes White Top: Temp Checkered Dress: Homemade Blue Socks: Big W Red Glitter Ballet Shoes: Wittner

Day 58: Dinosaur
I’ve been asked a lot of questions about this challenge since I starting this blog. Amongst them: ‘What happens if you get sick?’. If you will learn ANYTHING about me at all throughout the duration of this year, it’s that I like stupid/cool things. For my birthday I asked for costumed onesie pajamas, and I got this….
Day 57: International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition
August 23 is the International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition. An obvious persona associated with the abolition of slavery is Abraham Lincoln, who I have chosen to dress as today.

Day 56: Pussy Riot
August 22nd is Russian Flag Day, which made me think, what’s big in Russia right now? Light bulb – Pussy Riot – Oh yeah, this blog just got topical. For anyone who doesn’t know, Pussy Riot is a Russian feminist punk band that staged a performance at a Moscow church tying the Russian Orthodox Church politically to Russian President Vladimir…
Day 55: Kim Cattrall
August 21st is Kim Catrall’s 55th birthday. Of all the great characters Kim has played, no-one is more loved than Samantha Jones from Sex and City. Now whether you were a fan of the show or not, you’s have to admit she was the funniest character in the whole series, given classic line such as:…
Day 54: Studio 54
DAY 54. Studio 54. Get it? And yes, it may seem as if I’m drunk in the above picture, but in fact am not. I dance on table-tops sober. Charlie Sheen ain’t got nothing on me. Photo credit: The Stephinacci Sequence Black Off-the-Shoulder Top: ASOS (and it’s a dress) Black Belt: Cotton On …
Day 53: World Humanitarian Day
August 19 is World Humanitarian Day. When I found this out, the first thing I thought of was the “Human Being” mascot from the TV show Community. This has got to be hands down the creepiest costume I have ever, or will ever, create. Hide yo’ kids. Photo Credit: Holmes White Suit: Chupa Chups suit…
Day 52: Andy Samberg
August 18th is Andy Samberg’s birthday. Samberg is most notably known for the hit song “Jizz in my pants” and his work on Saturday Night Live. Some of his best work was done with Justin Timberlake, which is why I have chosen to dress ala “Dick in a box” theme today. To all the fellas out there…
Day 51: C-Bomb
So it’s come to this, personal jokes. Today is the last day of a dear friend C-Bomb at work. You may know C-Bomb from such photo credits as this blog. As a dedication to this friendship and the great years spent working with her, our mutual workmate Save Cheerleader thought it would be funny if…
Day 50: Madonna
August 16 is Madonna’s birthday. In honour of this Diva’s ever-changing commitment to re-invent herself and her style, I have chosen to dress in arguably her most notable look. The cone outfit from The Blonde Ambition tour. This outfit is like a version of that 😉 Photo credit: The Stephinacci Sequence Blonde Wig: Spotlight Black Headset Microphone: Home made (Pipe-cleaner covered in black…
