Worried About International Dress-Up Day?
[ 17 March 2007 ]
Tomorrow is International Dress-Up Day #002! The theme is ‘dress up as your favourite character’.
I know that some of you are probably still fretting over your costume, but I just thought I’d give you a nudge in the right direction.
This is what I wore for Hallowe’en last year. (I was Salvador Dali, of course!) I had just moved into my new apartment so I had no clothes or props, but I refused to do nothing for Hallowe’en. Behold, my costume! The main parts are a moustache painted on with eyeliner & a M.A.C. Cosmetics makeup brush. My point is, you don’t have to do anything amazingly flamboyant, the whole idea is just that you participate & have a good time.
I went to the video store in this get-up. It was fantastic. Don’t be afraid!
I look forward to seeing what you do tomorrow, kids!
Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala

Hmmn did you realise you posted that at exactly 11:11? Is it just me but I always seem to see 11:11 so I decided it was a good luck time. Now you will see 11:11 too! Trust me, its contagious.
ps: How do we send you dress up day photos?
I am pretty keen on 11:11 too!
Just email me the pictures, dolly. gala at galadarling dot com!
Graaaah I always work on these days! (well on the ones so far – boo!) And my work attire is SCRUBS – not exciting. However, I may dress up a bit after work and make pictures. We shall see.
I always have to work on those days too :( and unfortunately I work at a clothing store, meaning I have to wear the clothes from the store all the time.
but I’m definately going to dress up, even if its just to take a few pictures and then change back into my work clothes. :D I love this international dress up day thing! thanks for thinking of it!
i’m going to an alice in wonderland-themed tea party tomorrow, which ties in perfectly with this! i’m going to be an elegant, birds-nest-headed queen of hearts :] i will be sure to send photos!
I literally laughed out loud when I scrolled down and saw the last picture. You really captured Dali’s essence perfectly!
i love it!
my boything (who is very much not ghetto – he’s pale, blonde & wears a lot of rococo-style overcoats) recently went to a fancy dress party with “WILL SMITH” written on his hand in marker.
xo
Dali love. Have you been to his museum in Paris? It’s so weird and wonderfully him.
What an awesome costume! You’re so cute, with your mustache and everything!
mr. dali is my favorite artist of all time. and no one will ever replace him. he is a genius and his muse and i adore him.
thank you for posting these pictures they are lovely! and so are you. rock on girl!
Sophie — That is SO awesome, ahahaha!
Jess — No, I haven’t. A couple of years ago I went to an exhibition of his in London, which was pretty cool. My Paris time has thus far consisted of about three days, hee!
You are so awsome.
Love the Salvadore Dali impersonation.
