Dia De Los Muertos Before Xmas

YOU KNOW, LIKE NIGHTMARE BEFORE XMAS??

(CRICKET CRICKET)

MANY OF US ALREADY KNOW THAT

TUCSON IS HUGE ON DIA DE LOS MUERTOS .

THE MEDICAL LIBRARY AT U OF A EVEN HAS

A YEARLY DISPLAY THAT THEY DO:

LAST YEAR I CHEATED ON MY MAKEUP

AND USED A FAKE TATTOO KIT FROM MICHAELS .

THIS YEAR I PLANNED AHEAD SO I DIDN'T HAVE

TO HALF ASS IT.  I WAS ALSO PREPARED TO DO

OTHER PEOPLE'S MAKEUP AND I ENDED UP

DOING IT FOR MYSELF, MARC , MOM, AND MY

FRIEND KIERSTEN.  WELL , ACTUALLY I ONLY

REALLY HAD TO GIVE KIERSTEN ADVICE .  SHE

MOSTLY DID HER OWN.  MARC HELPED A LITTLE

WITH HIS OWN TOO.

NEON PINK FEATHER EYELASHES .

RHINESTONES .

GLITTER  .

THESE ARE THE ITEMS THAT MADE IT ALL COME TOGETHER  .

 MOM

KIERSTEN AND I

MARC AND I

I DIDN'T TAKE A TON OF PHOTOS OF

THE PROCESSION THIS YEAR LIKE I HAVE

IN THE PAST.  I WAS MORE INTERESTED IN

THE EXPERIENCE THAN THE DOCUMENTATION

OF IT , WHICH HAPPENS FROM TIME TO TIME .

BUT HERE ARE A COUPLE PICS FOR YA :

☠ ☠ ☠

Randomness

OH HEY LOOK !

MY HAIR IS THE EXACT SAME COLOR

AS MARC'S PAIR OF CORDUROY PANTS !

AND THAT IS ALL FOR NOW.

Sunday at Dad's from Months Ago #2

THIS POST IS FOOD PIC INTENSIVE .

CAUTION:  IT WILL MAKE YOU HUNGRY.

A COUPLE-FEW MONTHS AGO DAD GRILLED
FOR US ALL .  HE DID PEPPERS AND ZUCCHINIS.

(SEASONED, PRE-GRILL)

I ALREADY WARNED YOU.

THERE WAS ALSO PORK ...

AND PIE .

BLUEBERRY

LAVISH REALLY.

AND AS IT OFTEN DOES HERE , THERE WAS
A NICE SUNSET TO END THE DAY WITH.

Pinata Halloween Costume

IN OVERDUE NEWS , I WENT AS A PINATA THIS

YEAR FOR HALLOWEEN.  I SAW THIS PICTURE OF

A TODDLER PULLING IT OFF SO I THOUGHT HELL ,

I COULD DO THAT.  USING AN OUTFIT FROM THE 

THRIFT STORE I GLUED CREPE PAPER FROM TOP

TO BOTTOM AND THEN FRINGED EACH STRIP.

I OPTED TO DO THE FRONT ONLY SO THAT

WE COULD STILL SIT DOWN AND NOT FEEL

LIKE WE WERE RUINING THE COSTUME .

CREPE PAPER IS A FRAGILE MATERIAL TO

BE DRINKING AND PARTYING IN.

THE HEAD WAS MADE OUT OF A COMBINATION

OF A PABST BLUE RIBBON 12 PACK CARTON (BOTTOM) 

AND A POSTAGE BOX FROM THE POST OFFICE (TOP PART).

THE EARS WERE JUST LIGHT CARD BOARD ROLLED

INTO CONE SHAPES AND I DREW THE EYES ON

CARD STOCK AND PASTED THEM ON.

WE GOT A GREAT RESPONSE FROM PEOPLE

ALTHOUGH WE DIDN'T WIN ANY COSTUME CONTESTS .

 THIS PHOTO ALONE MADE ALL THE 

TEDIOUS WORK TOTALLY WORTH IT.

 ☺♥☺

Snaps

OK, SO I WENT THROUGH A PHASE OVER THE
SUMMER WHERE I WAS OBSESSED WITH THIS SNAPS
APP ON MY IPHONE .  THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN
I GET BORED AND I'M LEFT TO MY OWN DEVICES .

SPEAKING OF , THAT'S HOW I FOUND THIS APP.
THE PET SHOP BOYS WERE PROMOTING THEIR
"STICKERS", OR WHATEVER  , FOR IT.

FAME

RICHARD SIMMONS POSTED A PIC OF HIMSELF

WEARING THIS EXACT SAME KATY PERRY SNAPS

WIG WHEN HE WAS PROMOTING HIS MUSIC

VIDEO HAIR DO.  PLEASE FOLLOW THE LINK

AND WATCH HIS VIDEO IF YOU HAVEN'T YET.

IT'LL CHANGE YOUR LIFE .

 

 THEN I STARTED DOING IT ON OTHER PEOPLE 

USING A COMBINATION OF SNAPS , PHOTO WONDER  ,

AND THE SNOOP DOGG APP, PREVIOUSLY FEATURED 

IN MY OLD SNOOPIFY POST FOUND HERE .

MY PERSONAL FAVORITE OF ALL OF THEM.

 

GOOD TIMES WERE HAD
BY ME AND ME ALONE .
WELL MAYBE NOW YOU TOO.
