Not a whole lot going on right now.  I was (still am and possible forever will be) cleaning up the office area and I came across this time capsule of a photo.  Yes, I laughed.  Not at the picture so much as at the memory of the evening out in it.  I was real proud of myself thinking I had gone “all out” on my costume.  Compared to what I’ve seen shared from Cons and such I was pretty low key.  I know nothing of makeup and the proper use of latex.   When I found the head piece I wanted to make it look as seamless as possible so I bought some stage makeup and a bottle of latex.  The picture was taken when I came back from a night of parties and bar hopping.  Lots of people were impressed with my work and touched my head looking for where my skin ended and the skullcap began.

As I said, I know nothing of latex and makeup so lots of the makeup ended up on peoples hands.  No one minded.  I enjoyed the evening despite the fact I was burning up.  See, in an effort to be thorough, I had applied the latex along the entire seam.  And I did so quite liberally at that.  At some point during a night of darts and karoke the buildup became too much and the damn literally burst.  My friend “Krusty” noticed I had a little stream running down the side of my cheek just before it all let go.

I never knew a human head produced so much sweat.

Now I do.

It was a very fun evening.

Anyone have fun plans for this coming Halloween?
