GLOW 2012- Our Project

FINALLY!!! THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED GLOW BLOGS

ARE COMING OUT!  WE BEGIN WITH THE CONSTRUCTION:

THIS IS THE NOTEBOOK IN WHICH 

ALL THE SECRETS LIE....

THE BLUE PRINTS-

"FEED ME" AND GOOGLE EYES BASED

OFF OF ONE OF TREVOR'S OLD TOILETS.

INSPIRATION FROM A PAINTING MEADOW DID.

INSPIRATION FROM A MADONNA LAMP.

FIRST STEP- GOLDEN TOILET

A LOVELY TOILET WAS DONATED TO US BY 

MEADOW'S FRIEND CASS.  WHAT LUCK  !

SEARCHING FOR A SEAT.

MAKING THE BACKDROP.

MIRROR IN BOWL

TONS OF GLITTERED FLOWERS.
(ALL THESE PICS TAKEN BEFORE I
GOT MY NEW CAMERA.)

TONS OF MARGARITAS.

TONS OF RAT SKULLS AND BONES.

I ALSO PUT THE BB PELLETS FROM

TREVOR'S FLOOR IN THE FLOWERS.

TONS OF LIGHT HOLES.

MIRRORS AND BULLET SHELLS

PRACTICING IN THE CRAFT ROOM.

WE ENDED UP GOING WITH PURPLE LIGHTS

INSTEAD OF WHITE AT THE LAST MINUTE.

THE TUNNEL

STEVE SHOWING US THE ROPES ON TUNNEL 

CONSTRUCTION IN MEADOW'S BACKYARD. WE 

BORROWED IT FROM HIM.  HIM AND JAYE USED IT 

FOR BURNING MAN THIS YEAR. THIS TUNNEL HAS A 

PAST AND COMES WITH TONS OF THE MOST FINITE 

DUST-SAND YOU'VE EVER IMAGINED.

THE ENTRANCE-

PVC PIPE THAT MEADOW PUT INTO

CONCRETE, SET IN PLASTIC CIRCLE THINGYS,

AND SPRAY PAINTED GOLD.

CARPET PAINTED RED AND ROPES MADE OUT

OF SATIN MATERIAL, CRAZY HEM-GLUE SHIT, 

AND THEN STUFFED.

OUR VIRGIN SPOT, ABOUT TO BE MADE INTO A MAN.

GLOW ENTRANCE VIEWPOINT

(TOILET WAS ON OTHER SIDE OF 

BLUE GATE ENTRANCE)

ENTRANCE TO THE TUNNEL

SPRAY PAINTED RED

IT TOOK 21 CANS OF SPRAY PAINT.

I THINK THE MASK QUIT WORKING ON CAN #9.

THAT'S THE INSIDE

PUTTING UP THE VEIN LIGHTS AT NIGHT.

ENTRANCE

RED CELLOPHANE WRAPPED AROUND WHITE

XMAS LIGHTS TAPED TO THE TUNNEL WALLS.

CIRCULATORY

SETTING UP THE DAY OF- ENTRANCE

LAST MINUTE IMPROMPTU TOUCHES

EXIT

 GETTING DARK OUTSIDE

HEART LIGHTS UP

GLITTER BLUR ON THE PURPLE LIGHTS

WITH THE FLASH

AND THEN WE HAD APPLAUSE FROM A PLAY

GOING ON A LOOP (FROM THE WEBSITE THAT DENNIS 

SUGGESTED- THANK YOU!) ON SPEAKERS THAT YOU 

COULD HEAR FROM THE ENTRANCE. YOU COULDN'T 

SEE THE TOILET FROM THE BEGINNING. JUST A RED 

CARPET AND APPLAUSE ENTRANCE.  THERE WERE ALSO 

STROBE LIGHTS TO SIMULATE CAMERAS FLASHING.

I CAPTURED A VIDEO OF THE EXPERIENCE.

HERE IT IS.  HOPEFULLY IT GRASPS THE MOMENT:

EWW, MY ALLERGIES SOUND ALL GNARLY.
SNIFFLE SNIFFLE.

WE HID BEHIND THE TUNNEL THERE IN A SPOT WHERE WE
COULD SEE AND HEAR PEOPLE COME UP TO THE END BUT
THEY COULDN'T SEE US.  LOTS OF LAUGHTER.  LOTS OF
"THAT'S WEIRD"S.  WE WERE SURPRISED AT HOW MANY PEOPLE
ACTUALLY GOT THE CONCEPT THOUGH - THAT THE TUNNEL
IS A COLON AND THAT THEY WERE IN FACT THE POO LOOKING
BACK AT THEMSELVES IN THE TOILET BOWL MIRROR.

THAT'S ALL FOLKS.
