Happy Halloween!

Anyone who knows me IRL knows I am married to the worst photographer in the world. Officially. He is awful. So apologies in advance!

It was Cubs tonight and being a leader requires some dressing up. And since somone had nicked my goth fairy idea *harumphs* I opted for a nice lady pirate. With zombie leanings. It's actually really hard finding a costume that isn't too....erm....adult. If you know what I mean.  Everything is sexy this or slutty that. I quite liked some of them but they're hardly Scout leader appropriate!

Here is my lovely left hand side. I made a rather buxom pirate! I nicked the bandana from Chook - it's her Menorca one for in the pool!

And here is my zombified right hand side. That's about 6 layers of latex make up and some red face paint. We left the blood off and didn't go wild with the peeling coz I was creepy enough for little kids.

Here's a good one of my dodgy right eye! I'm wearing a sunglass contact lens I've had for a loooong time. It made everything look really weird only having one in but it gave the Chook the willies so was deemed worth the discomfort! What a great Mum, eh? *grins*

The party was a roaring success. We even managed to get the boys all doing the Timewarp by the end!! Can't day that happens very often! And my right cheek had been beautifully waxed by that damn latex coming off. Oooow!
