February 26 is Betty Hutton’s birthday, so I have decided to take on her most notable role of Annie Oakley from Annie Get Your Gun for todays costume. A big thanks to Smiffy’s for the donation of this super cute cowgirl outfit for today’s theme. Is it just me, or could I wear these tassel…

Day 243: Lucha Libre
Today I have decided to take on the user-suggested theme of Lucha Libre from Charlie. Lucha Libre is more informally known as Mexican wrestling. Many of you may have been introduced to it through the film Nacho Libre. Mexican wrestling is characterised by colourful, full face masks that are used to disguise the wrestlers and if removed…
Day 242: Oscars
February 24 is the date of the 2013 Oscars, which is why I have decided to take it on as my theme for today. Given all the amazing gowns that have walked the red carpet glory over the years, I have decided to dress in a outlandish, but definitely more iconic dress worn by Bjork in 2001,…
Day 241: Golden Girls
Today my oldest friend (Emilioooo!) is having her birthday party, deep down I know she wanted it to be Golden Girls themed, but thought no-one would commit to the idea. As a birthday gift, today I have taken on a Golden Girls theme, dressing as Sophia, my favourite character. Sophia, played by Estelle Getty, was…
Day 240: George Washington Day
February 22 is George Washington Day. George Washington Day is celebrated on, you guessed it, his birthday. So I’ve decided to dress up as the US quarter coin that features Mr Washington as today’s costume. I almost had his exact profile, I’m not sure if this is something I should be proud of or not…….
Day 239: Steve Jobs
Today I have taken on the user suggested theme of Steve Jobs from Zoe. I was actually quite surprised with how well this one turned out. Note to anyone out there trying to get this look, it all came into place as soon as I peaked and extended my eyebrows. Photo credit: Wayne Gretski…
Day 238: World Day of Social Justice
February 20 is World Day of Social Justice. Social justice is an underlying principle for peaceful and prosperous coexistence within and between nations. It is a day created by the United Nations General Assembly to raise awareness and promote the principles of gender equality and the rights of indigenous peoples and migrants. For this reason I have…
Day 237: Kick Ass
Today I have taken on the user suggested theme of Kick Ass from Cilla. With that as my theme I have dressed up as Hit Girl – the young, smart ass vigilante who was trained by her father (played by Nick Cage) to be a costumed superhero/assassin. Photo credit: Billy Rubin Purple Wig: Ebay Purple…
Day 236: John Travolta
February 18 is John Travolta’s birthday. I had a lot of choices when it came to which John Travolta costume I could re-create, in the end I went with the funniest I could think of, John Travolta cross-dressing. So today I have dressed up as Edna Turnblad from Hairspray. Please note that I tried to…
Day 235: Paris Hilton
February 17 is Paris Hilton’s birthday. Remember her? Remember ‘that’s hawt”? Good times, back in the early noughties. The awkward lean, duck lips combo is all because of her folks. I once said that I wanted to do for costumes what Paris Hilton did for sex tapes. Let’s hope if I do, there is a big…
