Halloween Costume 2011

This past weekend was my friend's Halloween Costume Party, something I am always excited to attend. Everyone is required to dress up which so up my alley. This time I chose to be a Sugar Skull in honor of the Day of the Dead or Día de los Muertos. I made my head piece and skirt, and I used a blouse that I already had. It was a lot of fun getting ready and this is my first attempt at painting a Sugar Skull.

So here is my shameless gallery of pictures of myself. I love to take pictures of myself all done up when you can't tell who I am. I'll post my "how I did it" pictures soon. Unfortunately, my lighting is really bad and you can't see my costume very well.  Oh and nothing reminds you faster that you have a face the size of the moon like white paint...  oh well.

Banshee, Female Spirit

Here are the pictures I took while I put on my Halloween make-up that I told you all I would share from this post. I love to get dressed up and I was fortunate enough to get invited to a costume party. I even made up a business card I handed out to everyone with a short description of what I was and a brief history of the Banshee. I always go overboard and I always go scary, that's my shtick and I have so much fun making myself up. I have another visual tutorial of my Swamp Zombie costume from some years back and will post it soon.

I didn't let my kid see me like this, it would freak him out!

So here it is... sleep tight!
