Why? Because I love the dance movies from the 80s, that’s why. It’s not enough to simply don your best 80’s gear and wiggle to Madonna or shamble to Thriller. Leather suits and lace petticoats weren’t the only thing going in 1984. I want you to watch Breakin’ and Electric Boogaloo, Beat Street, Flashdance, Fast Forward, and anything else with leg warmers and Adidas. (more…)
The 2010 Oscars will air this Sunday at 8/5p. It should be an interesting telecast with mismatched cohosts and 50 best picture nominations to get through. As I did last year, I’ll give you a brief run down of Costume Design and Makeup. The nominations were not surprising but they were a bit lacking in one area. One film makes both lists and in my opinion has an excellent chance at taking both categories. Check out the synopses and pics of the elegant selections after the jump. (more…)
The Alice in Wonderland fever is spreading thanks to Tim Burton’s latest fantasy filled trip. There have been many attempts to bring Alice in Wonderland to viewers: plays, cartoons, movies, and TV miniseries. My favorite is the 1985 CBS special event. It starred Natalie Gregory as Alice and everyone else. It was packed to the brim with kooky costumes. (more…)
We’ve hit the middle of the week now. You should pick a Mardi Gras costume party theme soon.
What’s better than a movie theme?
Heck if I know! Movies are the spice of costumes. They run the gamut of fun. From raincoats to trench coats and hockey masks to domino masks. (more…)
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.
Ralphie wasn't this happy.
Our Christmas wishes have been granted. Over at Instructables, Seamster has written a great how-to for adult bunny sleepwear. Thank you, Seamster.
