The Hunger Games

An assignment and how it looks thus far (I'm supposed to add the author and fix the background a bit, for my own sake) Check the book(s) out as well! They're brilliant.

Halloween '11 in Sunderland

Did I tell you that I had a REALLY good time? Yes? No? Anyway.. I can show you!


 I did some costume research and ended up trying to do a Mary Poppins, and then figured why not just make her a zombie. I was Little Red Riding Hood last year, so I wanted a bit of gore this year.
I had my first try with liquid latex to make some wounds the week before. A good idea, since I had no idea what I was doing. Youtube was good help as always, so I'd recommend checking that out.

First try: 

Liquid latex drying

first try with covering, not at all good

2nd try, on the actual face.. meeh too small!

Ok, and there it was, the big day! (I'm pretty sure no-one else cares about this as much as I do, but I don't really care anymore... MY blog! :] )

Bigger, bolder, braains.

Concealer on and corrective contacts in

Acrylic blood and improvised black+yellow eyeshadow skintone

My german friend Sebastian, and myself ( check out his black contacts.. eery)

The rest of the extremely lovely gang!

Trying to stay in character.

Failing miserably.

All in all, fun was had by all!

As a note, that hat took just about as much time to make as doing the make-up.. I shouldn't have bothered! Oh, and why no bloody clothes you say? Well duh, would Mary Poppins ever allow blood on her clothes, even as a Zombie? I don't think so. (Oh, and they're proper new clothes, I can wear them again? Hell yes!) Gonna go and watch The Walking Dead now, Zombies are just too terrifyingly awesome.

Some other stuff

The Great Green Goblin, Trampoline Tia!
