Today I take on another user-suggested theme – 80’s movie. There were SOOOOOO many good options here – I could do a John Hughes film like Breakfast Club or Pretty in Pink… hang on, nope, already done those. A John Carpenter film like Big Trouble in Little China? Nope, that one too. So then I thought,…

Day 349: Napoleon Dynamite
On June 11, 2004, Napoleon Dynamite was released. The film soon became a cult hit with it’s offbeat humour and awkward characters and moments. With this as my theme, I have decided to dress as the main character, Napoleon Dynamite. (Previously I have dressed up as Rex for the blog) Before I leave you, here are…

Day 347: Natalie Portman
June 9 is Natalie Portman’s birthday. I was spoilt for choice with characters I could dress up as today, but none more dramatic than Nina as the black swan from Black Swan. The intense make-up took about 40 minutes, but looked amazing and pretty spot on if I do say so myself. Photo credit: Holmes…
Day 346: Dilbert
On June 8, 1957, Scott Adams was born. Scott Adams is the creator of Dilbert, a cartoon that satirises the white-collar office space. So today I have dressed as the title character from the comic – Dilbert. Photo credit: Billy Rubin Dilbert Head: Homemade from Cardboard and Texta White Short Sleeve Shirt: Crossroad…
Day 344: Sweden

Day 339: Marilyn Monroe
June 1 is Marilyn Monroe’s birthday. Marilyn Monroe was the original blonde bombshell. Men wanted her, women wanted to be her, even today, decades later she is still a sex symbol in popular culture. Today I have dressed as her in that famous white dress from Seven Year Itch…isn’t it delicious? And yes, that is…
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…
