You should've mentioned to this guy that he'd need latex before gluing fluff to his face. He probably looks like a dweeb walking to the store about now :D

Oh man, I can just see that.

I looked pretty nerdy buying yard after yard of colorful fur from Joann's today, but it was $2 a yard. Surely I can make some monster out of it!

If you need latex in a hurry and can't find a costume shop, try the local medical supply store and ask for Duo surgical adhesive--it's basically thinned latex, with some other adhesives added. The drugstore also has smaller tubes of Duo eyelash adhesive (get the Clear version!) which is basically the same stuff.

You can smear it on your face and let it dry, then rub the surface of the latex until it breaks, giving you a blistery look; you can then apply fake blood or red makeup inside the blister and it looks all grody and yucky.
