Absence, First time working with latex, Halloween, blah.

I've not posted lately, as I've been busy with this, that and the other. It's sucked for the most part, but great in other aspects. 

Anyway, though it occurred nearly a month ago, I'm posting about Halloween. 

One, to flaunt my new cut and colour.

Two, because I can.

So here we go...

I had to get my Spawn ready on two separate occasions, being that school had Halloween on one day, and the actual day occurred two days later. Total pain in the ass, all of that face painting.

I sewed all the costumes with the exception of the Flamenco dancer outfit (that came from Spain) and the vintage Mexican skirt on the other kid. I did the makeup myself.

I also did makeup for my best pals, Delina and Justin:

Here's my man, looking all snazzy as a butler at work...

But here we are together, naughty maid and butler.

It took me some time to get my costume together, as I had to really modify an existing maid's costume, adding fabric and embellishments to it.

I had a bunch of scraps from rubber I had cut up, so I decided to give working with latex a go. All went very well!

I made my choker...

I also made little wristlets that I wore over my long, latex gloves:

and I made a latex boutonnière for my honey:

Yes, we even brought out the riding crop, and my latex stockings were a perfect touch.
I really wanted a rubber maid's uniform, but by the time I was able to cough up the money, there was not enough time for it to be made and shipped over from England. Ohhhh well.





None of us won any prizes for our costumes when we went out. There were plenty of cool costumes, but the ones that won were the lame "sexy" storebought crap. Oh, and some guys that dressed up as Mormon missionaries with their white shirts and bike helmets. *yawn*

Yes, I chopped a good bit of my hair off and went blonde. It took a couple of weeks to get it where I wanted it to be. Nevermind the black; it was the RED that was hard to remove. 
I now have white-blonde hair and love it.
