On March 3, 1845, Florida became the 27th state of the United States of America so today I take on Florida as my theme. When I think of Florida, I automatically think of the episode of The Simpsons where Marge has a gambling problem and Homer has to help Lisa make her Florida state…

Day 248: Mardi Gras
Today is the 35th anniversary of the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras. So today I have taken on the Mardi Gras as a theme, dressing as a Drag Queen…that rhymed. I’m quite disheartened at the fact that I had to do so little to look like a man. But I guess at least I look like…
Day 247: National Pig Day
March 1 is National Pig Day in the United States. It is a day where the pig is celebrated. The holiday celebration was started in 1972 by sisters Ellen Stanley, a teacher in Lubbock, Texas, and Mary Lynne Rave of Beaufort, North Carolina. With this theme of Pig, I have decided to dress up as…
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 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…
Day 234: Edgar Bergen
February 16 is Edgar Bergen’s birthday. Edgar was an American actor and radio performer who was best known as a ventriloquist. In honour of his birthday today I have dressed up as a Ventriloquist dummy. The crux to pulling off this costume was all in the makeup. I’ve uploaded a lot of close ups of the…
Day 229: The 87th Grammy Awards
Last week CBS issued a statement regarding a dress code for the 87th Grammy awards that they would be televising. They asked that all attendees adequately cover their buttocks and breasts and to avoid any see-through clothing and exposure of “the genital region”. As the Grammy’s are on today, I thought it would be funny to…
Day 228: The Colour Run
Today I took part in The Colour Run in Sydney. The Colour Run is a 5K fun-run where at upon entering each kilometre mark, a different colour dust is thrown at you. Once finished you then enter the finish festival where you get to unleash your colour pack amongst each other. You are supposed to wear white…
