January 15 is one of three emancipation days of respect which honours the memory of Martin Luther King, Jr. So today rather than dress as Martin Luther King, I wouldn’t do it justice, I’ve decided to dress up as another great celebrity humanitarian – Princess Diana. I have chosen to dress as Diana in what was…

Day 201: Tennis
The Australian Open beings today, so I thought I would take on a tennis themed day and dress as the infamous John McEnroe. Why you ask? His afro would make him the funniest tennis player to dress up as, that’s why. And yes, I know that I’m using a badminton racket, not a tennis for this costume,…
Day 200: Julia Louis-Dreyfus
January 13 is Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ birthday. Growing up I can honestly say that no female character on television effected my personality as much as Elaine from Seinfeld did, so of course that is who I have decided to dress up as today. To this day I am still in awe of how someone could choreograph a dance…
Day 199: Pippi Longstocking
Today I take on another users suggestion; rhiannac xxxx suggested that I take on the theme of Pippi Longstocking. As many would know the crux of this outfit is in Pippi’s red hair, to achieve the ‘stick out’ angle of the ponytails, I wrapped the hair around bent coat-hanger wire. Photo credit: Billy Rubin…
Day 198: Pretty In Pink
Today I thought I would take on a user suggested theme. Belinda has suggested that I take on Pretty in Pink, so I have decided to dress as the main character Andie (Molly Ringwald). As you can see from the main image, I have attempted to re-create the look as seen in one of the…
Day 197: Sunrise
Today I was lucky enough to appear on the Australian morning television show Sunrise. With the concept of a morning television show I have decided to dress up as a breakfast news presenter, with a twist – business up top, pajamas down bottom. (Thanks go to ‘Emilioooo!’ for coming up with the idea!) If you are…
Day 196: Balloon Ascension Day
January 9 is Balloon Ascension day. What is Balloon Ascension day you ask? Well I’ll tell you! At 10 a.m. on the morning of January 9, 1793, history was made in America when Jean Pierre Blanchard made the first aerial trip in a yellow hot air balloon. In honour of this achievement a holiday was born, and now a costume….
Day 195: David Bowie
January 8 is David Bowie’s birthday, so I have decided to dress as up as the infamous Ziggy Stardust. I have looked to re-create his look on the cover of Aladdin Sane. The lighting bolt makeup was created using red lipstick, blue eye-shadow and black eyeliner. Photo credit: Holmes Man’s Chest Piece: Homemade Black…
Day 194: The Little Mermaid
For the final day of Disney week I have decided to end off with a bang and take on my favourite Disney film of all time – The Little Mermaid. Many people have requested separate to Disney week that I dress as Ariel, so essentially I have hit two birds with one stone. Photo Credit:…
Day 193: Bollywood
Today I digress from Disney Week to honour a birthday request for my dear friend K-Bear. At her request, today I take on the theme of Bollywood. Happy Birthday darling, miss you bucketloads!
