When X-Men 3 came out a few years back, my friends began telling me how much I resembled Famke Janssen, aka Jean Grey, aka Dark Phoenix.

We love that Saturday Night Live skit with Christopher Walken wanting more cowbell in the recording studio and thought it would be a cheap and easy couple’s costume. The wig wasn’t quite right, but it was okay. His costume was really just cheap $1 glasses from Dollar Tree, wig, black t-shirt and leather jacket. My … Read more
