January 19 is Katey Sagal’s birthday. I know Katey best for her role as Peggy in Married with Children, but thought that a Leela costume would be funnier so went with that. Hopefully I was right, if not, feel free to voice your opinions in the comment section below. Photo credit: Billy Rubin …

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 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!

Day 187: New Years Eve
December 31st is New Years Eve, so I have taken this on as a theme and dress up as a firework, props to Ziggy for the idea. I have aimed to be the shooting up firework that explodes, but it was REALLY hard to capture on film – with flash it looked dumb and…
Day 186: Scientology
December 30 is known as Freedom day for the Church of Scientology because this is when it was officially recognised in the United States in 1974. With this theme I have decided to dress as the most famous (in my opinion) Scientologist – Tom Cruise ala Risky Business. Photo credit: Holmes White Business Shirt: Pierre Cardin…
