Awesome idea though man...very cool.

Thanks !
And oh yes, definitely a good log. The search has already begun.

The costume isn't complicated, but I want to make sure to get every detail right.

I don't know if we're going to have a Halloween party to wear them to this year... Then again we could always HOST one, though our apartment is very wee...

I've had this plan for a couple of years now where my boyfriend and I would go together as "hentai;" I would be a Japanese school girl and he would be a masked tentacle monster... but he's started falling out of love with the tentacle monster idea... :rolleyes:

I'm going through a complete and utter vampire fixation lately. I might invest in a decent pair of fangs and white makeup and just sex myself up (I have a nice latex bodice that would work nicely).

Actually I think I'm going to get an Alice in Wonderland costume and be an evil Alice... I like that idea...

And J - The Log Lady costume is AWESOME.

Newb - Love the pics.

I'm following in The Return's footsteps and going as Comic Book Joker.

Which reminds me, because I did need to ask, have you got any tips for applying the make up? Like is there a best order to do it i.e. Red then white then black?

For Joker, I would do red first so you have a bit of an outline to work with, then do white, then black, touch up as needed.
I may not be an expert, but I do carry a pack of theater makeup in my car...just in case. :p

Haha, thanks :)

Do you have any tips for applying the white. Usually I just spread it with my hands but I think sponging it on my work better. What do you think?

I've only seen this in films so forgive me if it's wrong, but don't American kids get to go to school in the costumes.

God your kid must be popular.

Oh, and a side note while I'm close enough to the subject: are many of the kids at your kid's school related to people in the industry? That would be soooooo cool.

to the costume in school question....

when i attended we were able to wear our costume to an extent, but no masks.

i wore a wig.

I like to cake white on my cheeks and forehead then spread it around with my fingers and a sponge, you can see where you need to blend better that way IMO.
