Fun with art history and costumes!

I’ve had a bit of the dreary blahs lately. It’s that time of the year. In an effort to cheer up, I’m going to share with you a little gem I found months ago on youtube. Whenever I’m getting the blahs, I head over to watch FizzyVampire’s take on Grease 2. I’m a Grease 2 fan through and through…I can’t help loving the cheese. When I stumbled upon her little homage to “Reproduction” I may have squealed a tiny bit. It’s a simple lip sync with a twist: she changes costumes for each character. I can’t imagine how long it took to sync up all the video.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle inspired clothing has been all the rage this holiday season. There are Shredder Hoodies, and TMNT baseball caps. The Half-Shelled ones are cool again. I like the turtles too. Here are a few of the streetwear goodies you can model at home.

Lest you think Shredder’s the only non-turtle in on the hoodie fun, check out Krang!

I like this trend of sneaking costumes into everyday clothing. Fun, fun, fun.

I’m not a huge sports fanatic. In fact, I have no idea who Tony Parker is, but he’s cool in my book for this:

He and his wife Eva Longoria recreated Summer Lovin’ with their friends and a couple mascots. Please note the straight from the closet costumes and the delightfully cheesy wigs.

He encourages all of you to create your own homespun musical numbers for a chance to attend a Spurs game before the 2010 Playoffs. The deadline is January 31, so get filming! Good luck!

I said I’d make a video in honor of Reading Rainbow. Here it is. I put way more work into it than it looks. In fact, I had to cut the intro I was working on because I just couldn’t get it right. I’ll add it eventually, but for now it’s more important that something is up rather than nothing. Please ignore the color issues. Here are three of my favorite childhood reads:

It was hard to pick just three books. I was way into Nancy Drew and Anne of Green Gables. I think I read Swiss Family Robinson and Paddle to the Sea a few times too. Who knows, once I get this intro finished I might just do more book reviews.

This week Bumblebee made the rounds on the internet. It’s an impressive costume.
