More International Dress Up Day #005 Pictures!
[ 19 June 2007 ]
You guys are so awesome & creative, I am totally thrilled! You all look FANTASTIC! Such high quality entries, I love it!
Ashley:
“Well, here’s one of MANY alter-egos Brigitte. C’est elle, the one that creates the artsy-poems, pretends to sing in a band, and wears a bright bikini with combat boots. She gives everyone a cold stare, not because she doesn’t like them, but because she’s too deep in her own thoughts to make any facial expressions. Or she’s thinking about spreading icing on a sexy lad… (She’s overly sexual, too, that minx!) She’s also a media monger, and uses old newsprint as stationary and as flooring. She writes with a cigarette shaped pen because writing is her addiction. She wishes she looked like Brigitte Bardot, and named herself after her too. If only, if only…”
Kori:
“I already have a (not so evil) twin, so I decided to dress as my alter ego. She is a disco-dancing, sparkle-loving diva princess. Her name is a well-kept secret, but her nickname is Glitter. She refuses to brush her hair and piles on the bling. She wears no makeup but bright pink lip gloss, and is constantly re-applying because she likes to leave kisses for people to find wherever she goes. She is almost always dancing, and the only way to find her is to follow a trail of pink kiss marks.”
Becki:
“A Roma’ a woman of mystery and delight. Once a rich heiress, she now scours lands far and wide, through jungle safaris, deserts, towns and cities searching endlessly for her lost lover. All that she can remember (she has memory problems) from the man she proclaimed her love to, is a silver necklace she holds around her neck. As a result of her loss, ever since his disappearance she has searched people she comes across, capturing their own jewellery to wear upon her neck. Waiting and praying until she finds the silver necklace that matches her own!”
Lalumiere:
“my secret alter ego… is a punk from 1979. ..shh, dont tell anyone.”
Aimee:
“Here is my alter ego… a little devil. Yes indeed, I am usually an angel, but when Little Miss Naughty comes out to play, that’s when the real fun starts!”
Victoria:
“This is the first time I’ve taken pictures for IDUD. I live in Florida, but for the past 4 years I’ve spent the majority of my time in Missouri for college. So, for International Dress-Up Day #005 I figured that dressing up as a Beach Bunny! would be the most appropriate alter-ego. She walked to the beach, but it was extremely hot, so she came back to her house to just relax by her pool instead. Beach Bunny! loves to sunbathe and take dips in the pool to cool off. She read her book, but didn’t get very far because she kept wanting to swim! After she went in and showered off, she ended the day by drinking red wine and eating cake!”
NoirMuse:
“Introducing My Alter Ego: Melvina Ivanova. Sometimes, if someone asks where I’m “from” (which happens more often than one might expect) – I answer “Soviet Russia” and belt out the few Russian phrases in a fake accent I’ve learned just for such an occasion. I’ve been known to accost people by asking them “Do you love Russia?!!?” If they respond with anything except a resounding “Yes”, I give them a very disapproving look.”
Candice:
“this month’s i.d.u.d. coincided perfectly with a zombie ghost train gig saturday night. so i enlisted my friend rachel & we got our zombie alter-ego’s on.. zombie ghost train style of course. rachel aka freaky arms likes shoes that make her even taller than she already is, changes her shirt frequently & is also known for flippin the bird at anyone who looks her way. candice aka candance likes her eyebrows to match her hair, takes photos of strangers feet & frequently scares people with her crazy eyes. together they smuggle alcohol & cameras into gigs where they charm [scare?] their way to the front row. later they prowl the streets & concoct elaborate stories for the people they encounter.”
Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala

Grey Gardens I Made Cupcakes! DELIGHT or SMITE? (June) International Dress-Up Day #005 Theme! james&august Competition Winners! Things I Learned From Watching Miss Universe 2007 Making Short Hair More Interesting Things To Do In Summer
Vastly entertaining! I think the stories are AMAZING – maybe even better than the photos . . ?
Hmm! Yeah, they definitely add something!
Squee!
With all the different stories up here too, it makes InternationalDressUpDay 005 seem really fantastic. It really makes me realize how many different types of people there are in the world but how we all unite to be LOONS!
Someone I know thinks we all need to “get jobs”! :-D It’s just a question of PRIORITIES, innit? I’m committed to joining the I.D.U.D. fun (OK – I missed the birthday one coz I was at a serious and formal out-of-town event . . .)
I so want to play next month. Seriously! I am working on just being plain ol cute on a regular basis hehe this is a whole nother playing field but I’m willing to JUMP hehe :)
You guys look so amazing!
Just a thought.Maybe there could be an international sleep over.Where everyone has to dress in their best night wear.I think it could be tickling.
Oh, they’re amazing! I especially love Brigitte.
I missed it ‘coz yesterday was Father’s Day. Well, no, that’s not why I missed it, I kinda missed Father’s Day too. I was at a workshop all day and then ran out to briefly meet my friends at the Street Performance World Championships! Would have to been a cool place to be dressed up as my alter ego, but I wasn’t really at the festival for very long, just got there as it ended and hung out. I saw it last year and it was amazing, especially the Space Cowboy who, I believe, is one of your countrymen?
I might do it myself some day though, just for fun.
And I did give my dad a card and a present and make him a cup of tea, just in case anyone’s worried :).
oh Roo that’s more than I did… I gave him a card.. from the cat! Seriously! hehe… but he liked it, and we do have a very lovely cat! hehe! I LOVE the idea of an international sleep over!! And all of these entries are amazing..!!
OH MY GOD! YES! International Sleep Over!
DEFINITIVELY.
I mean, I’d love to see how different it would be. Can you imagine, us crazy Canucks in our undies, while those in uber-Southern climates would be wearing nice flannel…
Oh, that would be peeerfect!
you guys all rock!!!
i love candice’s outfit & story! & melvina’s adorable.
xxo
I am LOVING all the awsome outfits and stories! I think it’s amazing how little bits of our personalities can shine through with entire histories; developping themselves as literal people. It’s SICK how just an outfit and a certain expression can describe a person entirely. These things leave me speechless.
P.S. Mistake on mine, it’s spelled the Dominican Republic, sorry!
P.P.S. Count me in for the sleep over! A chance to show off our sleepwear AND gear! Watch out world for my Ghostbuster’s sleepingbag and night light:]
