Tune in Tuesday!!

I hope all of my East Coast friends out there are cooped up at home, staying warm and cozy, but most of all safe, as the storm comes through.  That Sandy is one feisty broad!  I'm sending lots of dry thoughts and prayers your way!! For those of you with electricity...two fun shows I shot are airing today, so tune in or set your Tivo's for a double dose of Marisa!!

First, I was part of a fabulously awesome vintage-themed show for Ricki Lake!! Dita Von Teese, Beverly Johnson, Cameron Silver (owner of the fab LA boutique Decades) and the charming Apple Sisters were all a part of the fun!

Also I'll be on After Ricki, a fun behind the scenes Ustream webisode that airs live 8:30 pm EST/5:30 pm PST - tune in here (http://therickilakeshow.com/afterricki) for more vintage chatter!!

Second, I shot a super fun episode with the lovely Marie Osmond on her Hallmark Channel show where we redid celebrity outfits on a thrift store budget.  Cameron Diaz & Emma Stone, we got you!!  Love me some copycats!  (Click here to find out showtimes - http://www.hallmarkchannel.com/ChannelLocator/Default.aspx)

Red Head Costume Week: Lois Griffin - Family Guy

Today's costume really just couldn't be easier to put together!  Everything came from my closet... New Dress A Day - DIY - Halloween Costumes - Lois Griffin - Family Guy - Costume from my Closet!

...and with the new red hair, all I needed to add were red lips to complete my transformation into my fave animated mom...Lois Griffin from Family Guy!

New Dress A Day - DIY - Halloween Costumes - Lois Griffin - Family Guy

I don't have traditional khaki pants, so I made it work with a pair of tan cords I had, a blue cardigan that I subbed for Lois' bluish button-down shirt, and a pair of tan/cranberry patent flats on my feet!

With the rest of the family in tow, I'm ready for trick-or-treating!!
