Small work on paper.
My earlier posting about David Bowie was just a sliver of my obsession for the man.
I once was a make up artist for a local David Bowie impersonator, a woman who did such a fine job that she was chosen to be on "Puttin' on the Hits." Something happened and she never made it to the show. I stopped hanging out with her as this was happening because she was getting too creepy for my own good.
I also made up my old boyfriend, Shaun, one year as Screaming Lord Byron (the character in the Blue Jean video) for a Halloween costume party. He looked fab and, if memory serves, he won the contest.
I found this pretender a few years ago:

Now that is some gooood pretending!
So, the weekend of Halloween festivities are over - time to scour the stores for marked down Halloween swag. I meant to do that today, but I got sidetracked.
Did you dress up today?
I will, but I haven't decided exactly what, yet.
I was telling the husband the other day that when I was a kid I would start planning on my Halloween costume the day after Halloween. I was that into it. The first and last costume I had that was store bought and with a mask was a Ben Cooper or Collegeville princess ensemble. I guess I was about 5 or 6 for that. Man, I wish my mother kept more of my childhood. She liked to give things away to "less fortunate" children, which in retrospect must have been her way of denying the fact that we were the less fortunate children!
These days I do less full body costuming and simply paint my face up and wear black. I started doing this when my custom fangs broke a few years back...
I was a part-time clown for a few years so I can whip on a clown face in about 15 minutes
