Today is my friend Toms’ birthday. Toms helped me get on Sunrise, so I asked him if there was a theme he would like me to take for his birthday as a thank you, and he requested Big Bird….yesterday. So here is half a day turn-around Bird Bird costume. Photo credit: The Stephanacci Sequence Big…

Day 334: Oompa Loompa
Today I officially have one month left of my year-long challenge – NOT LONG NOW! And as I couldn’t think of an appropriate ‘one month to go’ theme, I have chosen to take on a user-suggested theme that has been requested multiple times – Ooompa Loompa. Photo credit: Billy Rubin Green Oompa Loompa…
Day 333: E.T.
On the 26th of May, 1982, E.T. premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. Steven Spielberg’s film about a lonely boy befriending an extraterrestrial from outer space was a childhood favourite – as it was for many. So with this as my theme today, I have chosen to dress as Elliott as he heroically escapes from the government with E.T, to get…
Day 332: Return of the Jedi
On May 25, 1983, Star Wars: Return of the Jedi was released. While I have done a Star Wars theme previously, today I take on Return of the Jedi as my theme, with my costume representing an event within it specifically – the event obviously being Han Solo frozen in carbonite.

Day 331: Bob Dylan
May 24 is Bob Dylan’s birthday, so I have taken him on as my theme, dressing in typical Dylan garb. Further to this I have created my own version of the props in his famous Don’t Look Back film clip where he holds flashcards to lyrics to the song. Photo credit: Holmes Black…
Day 330: Mary Poppins
On May 23, 1973, Mary Poppins was re-released for the THIRD time after it’s initial release on August 27, 1964. Mary Poppins was a childhood favourite for many reasons, but let’s face it, the obvious was that she was “practically perfect in every way” and we shared the same name. A couple of years ago…
Day 329: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
May 22 is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s birthday. Arthur was a Scottish writer who is most known for his novels about detective Sherlock Holmes, which are still highly regarded in terms of crime fiction. With Sir Arthur’s birthday, I of course have chosen to dress as his leading character, Sherlock Holmes. Photo credit: Totally …
Day 328: Mr. T
Today is Mr. T’s birthday, who turns 60! Which is why today’s theme is Mr. T. I pity the fool who doesn’t like costumes… Photo credit: Holmes Mohawk: Bald Cap with a Piece of Fur Pinned On Chest Piece: Homemade from Cardboard Army Patterned Pants: Cotton On (My Brother’s) Jewellery: Diva, Equip, Forever 21…
Day 327: Supergirl
