September 26th is Dominion day for New Zealand. And who has more dominion over New Zealand than sheep? Did you know that for every human, there are 7 sheep? In 2003 it used to be 20 sheep to every human! Well enough with the New Zealand sheep to human facts, today I have dressed up…

Day 90: Jury Duty
Today I have been summoned for Jury Duty. So of course after the initial – “Oh Fuck” – I thought “What costume will I wear?”. So I settled on a prisoner. So inappropriate, but oh so right. Photo credit: Billy Rubin Striped Prisoner Dress and Hat: A gift from Bakers Dozen Ball…
Day 89: Gangnam Style
So if you haven’t been living under a rock for the past couple of weeks chances are you know the K-Pop track “Gangnam Style” by PSY. So I thought while it was still well-known and topical I take it on here. Photo Credit: Wayne Gretski Sunglasses: Hot Dollar Crazy Scientist Glasses with Black…
Day 88: Saudi Arabia
September 23 is Saudi Arabia’s National Day. So I have chosen to dress up as a cashed up oil sheik. Which considering the riots as of late, probably wasn’t the safest choice to be seen taken photos in on my street…but I’m not dead, so all good! Photo credit: Billy Rubin Red Headscarf:…
Day 87: Circus
Today I am going to a Fringe Festival Mystery Bus event where you get dropped at a secret location for a magical night into Sydney’s underbelly, showcasing some of the best arts and culture the inner west has to offer. Tonight’s theme: Circus. With that I have chosen to dress up as a plate twirler….
Day 85: Sophia Loren
September 20 is Sophia Loren’s birthday. Loren is widely recognized as the most awarded Italian actress. She is also known as one of the sexiest stars to ever grace the silver screen. In honour of this, I have chosen to ATTEMPT to dress up as her. Photo Credit: Holmes Red Corset Top:…
Day 83: World Water Monitoring Day
September 18 is World Water Monitoring Day. This made me instantly think of the water sprinklers I used to play under as a child that had the massive changing water streams. Man they were fun. Let’s all spare a thought for the children of today who don’t get to run wild and free under water…
Day 82: International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer
September 16 was the International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer. When I found this out I immediately thought of all the poor English travellers who, used to having an ozone layer in England, get ridiculously sun burnt while in Australia. So that is why I have dressed as sun burnt POM/backpacker today. I was really surprised how well rubbed-in red lipstick…
Day 81: Ghostbusters
My dear friend Kat Urban suggested that I do a Ghostbusters theme, so I waited until it was her birthday to take it on. Now, rather than do a boring ghostbuster suit and vacuum number, I thought it would be funnier to dress as the Stay Puff Marshmallow Man from the first film. I hope you enjoy it Kat –…
Day 80: Captain Planet Day
September 15 is Captain Planet day. Today is the 22nd anniversary of the TV show Captain Planet, my favourite TV show as a child. So I’ve decided to dress as Linka, my favourite planeteer. GO PLANET!
