I went out to another store, that carries my brand of dye, to see if they had my color left in stock, Black Widow. Lucky me, they had 5 bottles. I bought them all up, risking the stares of the barbie-girl cashier. I was like "These ARE getting discontinued, right?! Yeah? Got anymore in the back?" She shrugged. I bought the 5 bottles. Can you tell? I hate change. HATE IT. It shatters my universe when my favorite cosmetics get discontinued.
I also got me some fangs, too. Hell, I can work a nice pair of fangs into just about any [neck] costume (and even everyday wear, it'll give the soccer mommies something else to talk about). If only I could get them to stick. The putty stuff that comes with it, is crap. I'm going out today, to get some strong dental adhesive. I want to be able to BITE with these things. They're a good resin, too, they feel just like real teeth, and they're sharp as hell.
Now, to pull out the 328974287 black flowy dresses, to see which one goes with the wings. Oh, and make the halo. That might be a challenge. All they had at the costume shops were these ridiculous fluffy feathery halos. It's wrong, all wrong. I want barbed wire, dammit!
Alden's costume is almost done, too. I hacked the sleeves off a denim jacket, last night, sanded the hell out of it (to make it look old and frayed...hello flashbacks from highschool) and washed it a few times. It looks appropriately ratty now. When it's dry, I'll safety pin the patches on to it, and the buttons. That, his Sid Vicious tee, some torn up blue jeans, a leather studded belt, collar and bracelet...black nail polish on a few nails, and I'm gonna do something to his hair, but I don't know what yet. Oh, and the flaming Chucks, that we bought expressly for the occasion. He's going Old School.

Oh yeah?! So what if it is!? Whatchoo gonna do about it, eh? EH?
Ok.
Craft section. Please try not to scare too many old ladies into heart attacks Lilibean.
You want thick black elastic, something that's going to blend into your hair. And try not to get shiny nylon because that will show up. They have elastic hair ties that go all the way around your head in the hair section.
Next you want wire, thin wire that you can bend but heavy enough to hold the halo. Bend three separate wires around the elastic and tighten it where they're standing above your head and forming a triangle.
Now, get your barbed wire. Fix it into a halo form, and attach it to the top of your wire.
P.S. Zare, you'll never guess what Lilija's hair color naturally is.
Ummm...red is the color that I dye it, and I do have green eyes.
Keep guessing :p
Getting warmer... ;)
Here's a pic of me from last month, when my hair was red red. http://www.bakasoft.net/lilija/9-21.JPG
Your hair is purple, like your nails. I'm good at detective work like that. Especially when I read your blog from the top down! :D

It's been mentioned, in the past, but it's a closely guarded secret ;)
