SSSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! A lot of time has elapsed since my last post and boy too much has happened to post here! HOWEVER! I thought I might throw down my workings from the month of October as it is my favorite month containing my most favorite of holidays.

Halloween is my most favorite holiday and to tell you the truth folks, I plot and plan all year for when it rolls around. Something just draws me to the idea of becoming anything you could ever want to be and achieving a better understanding of things beyond our mortal understanding. Alright, the candy isn't a bad perk either....

At any rate I thouhgt I might share some photos of the make up I have done this most recent halloween. Things still need a little fine tuning but I think next year I shall be able to fully provide a pack of ravenous zombies to tease your eyes and minds!




My husband sacrificed and hour or two of his time playing World of Warcraft so I could practice making zombies for Halloween. Granted I know a nose bleed isn't the most gruesome way to die but heck you never know what can cause them. Also historically speeking Attilah the Hun was said to have died from a nose bleed.




Here we have two undead cholos. Now why would we have two? Well because a vato can't be seen with out his homie esse! If you saw them standing next to each other you can see the bullet path goes from ones chest to the others face. Yeah, I'm a stickler for details! I once made my friend up as a red demon and he was cleaning the grease make up out of his ears for months after the fact.



And here we have the exact reason why I don't like swimming of depths deeper than my feet can touch in the ocean. I bloody hate sharks! Think I'm silly? Well you try having your parents force you to watch JAWS when you are a two year old living on a island surrounded by water and then have them take you to the beach next day. See how well you sleep! Yet, this costume idea was born out of my fear so I suppose it isn't all for the worst.



Amazingly enough there we saw a fellah down town who had the same concept in mind as I. Either way I was glad I caught a picture of these two together. Still find it funny that of all the thousands of people parading their costumes down Waikiki we manage to bump into this guy.



Here is my creation spawned from my angst ridden teen days and inspired from all the little emo kids running around. A lady came up to her while we were walking down town and angrily proclaimed that it wasn't a costume. Well, after working on her make up for an hour I can assure the world that it was infact a costume! Not to mention that I myself was an angsty emotional suicidal teen and I have no problems with it. Either way, it just occured to me that I created my own version of a suicide girl this year....heh....



Here is the burn victime I created this year. It only goes to show that some times the things that you think will not turn out well manage to come out swimmingly! This costume was thrown together in a day and never in my wildest dreams did I expect it to turn out so well! His face looks like it's ready to be smashed between some chocolate and grham crackers. Seriously though I had a craving for smores all night because of his appearance and the burnt smell coming off of his clothes.



Here we have the pair! The happy couple and the rest of the undead minions decided that it would be best to take a bit of a respite and the bestest little dive bar in the island (the Hide Away) before making our trip back over the mountains home ward. I think that were the Shawn of the Dead scenario happened. The Hide Away may actually be my little island version of the Winchester Pub. Only place I've found thus far on island to make a Sailor Jerry and coke and boy they do it well! Well now, aren't I just the little advertiser!

Some of you may be wondering why I have no pictures of myself posted. Well kiddies, I spent so much time doing make up for others that I scarcely had time to paint a skull on my face and run about town screaming "I'm the one who brings the Christmas candy! Who's your daddy!?!?!" If by some way shape or form I managed to get caught on film I'll be sure to post it. You'd be suprised but skellitons can manage white pomps and head rags like any other rockabilly girl!

For now I must away as I have two more birthdays to shop for (it's been the birthday week from hell as there have been five total to spank me financially), a flooded storage space to deal with, and water damaged belongings to save. I really hope that all of you had a sweet ass sweet Halloween!
