This is the month of Mardi Gras, a time of wild parties and not-so-wild
parties. I got a mailing about a Mardi Gras/Valentine's Day party, and
decided to go. I had foregone my usual monthly haircut to do this one. I
gotta thank Growltiger for answering a few questions about the
Scream Team's Beast prosthetic,
since he has one, as I incorporated a technique or two from his into mine.
I think I either used too-light makeup (Mehron's soft beige latex mask
makeup), or too dark a background. This took 3 hours to do, and had it
on for 8 hours.
It wasn't really a wild party, just a group of local deaf and hearing
people getting together to have a good time. I was the only one in
costume, and of course, won first place. Not only that, but at least
HALF the crowd were wondering who I was, and if I were male or female!
Some already knew who I was, by my voice, the way I talk, sign, and a few
other things. By 11, I had some people begging me to tell me who I was,
so I went up front, and carefully took it off. You can see that I had
some of those bead necklaces on. Small crowd, maybe 100-150, only 5
necklaces I was given, though I could have gotten more, but only brought
home two. [sigh] A good time was had by all.
