Halloween is over, but I just now have found the time to get this picture out of my phone so I can post it here. Mary always likes to dress up at Halloween, and this year she created this elaborate MEDUSA costume. No, that’s not her hair, it’s actually a bunch of rubber snakes. !!!gah!!! What a hoot!
I’m very proud of how well Mary does with these projects. She tells me that for the RenFest she’s going as an elf, and for DragonCon next year “a proper Victorian with a frilly dress and parasol but I am going to burn one side and paint my face and arms to look like I have copper android parts, glue some small bolts and wiring to my skin, do burnt flesh effects to blend my skin to the robot skeleton.”
This sounds very elaborate! I can’t imagine myself ever putting this much effort into ANYTHING I might wear, but I did tell her that if Russ and I get to join them at DragonCon in 2013, and IF I’ve lost another 20 pounds, I will also dress in costume. Not exactly sure what it might be yet, lots of figuring out to do. But there’s plenty of time. Devising the costume will be fun. It’s the losing another 20 pounds that poses a much greater challenge!
