Day 231: Stockard Channing
February is Stockard Channing’s birthday. Stockard is one of my favourite actresses of all time, I feel she (with Allison Janney and Jane Lynch) steal the show no matter what they’re in.

Day 226: Juliet
Today I am taking on the user suggested theme of Juliet from Zoe. I assumed that she meant Juliet from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, so I have taken on a classic Shakespearean/Elizabethan fashion costume. Today’s amazing dress came from Smiffy’s Australia who read about my challenge on Mashable and donated few costumes to the cause! How amazing…

They…
