I've got that one, but it ain't kid friendly... Get more tricks than treats that way!

Latest in the strange: Hubby got a call from a guy who wanted to be airbrush painted head to toe for Halloween, and planned to walk around Georgetown this way tonight... Not sure if we're glad he called too last minute or not!!

[ghettoelleth]

That's been a big trend here at Mardi Gras and a few other large celebrations that are more family oriented for the past few years too Sil, I don't get it. Its a bit Emporers New Clothes if they feel dressed and bit too, my kids don't need to look at that shit, thank you, if not.

yeah, went to a Halloween party at a big Ivy League college here, and they thought a paper cup on a string was "decent" attire for a guy to wear out on the town! And believe me, the ones that opted for that costume were cause for not a few nightmares and no daydreams!

Space, as for stick on ears, spirit gum is what you are thinking of to stick them with. Just don't use a lot and let it get tacky in the air before you stick it on. As for getting the darn things off, haven't found anything that works as well as simply yanking and wincing. Then after a couple of days the rest of the glue finally peels away. So like I said, don't use a lot of glue. You just want them to not fall off.

Unless Ghetto wants to volunteer her hubby to come do a real professional can't tell they aren't fake job on you. THough I understand there's just nothing that really takes the glue off.

Well Ya....

Space, Rich and Boz have their own products, but the solvent works best with their adhesive which is used largely for bald caps. I don't know if it would work or is safe for ears, but I will surely ask fatty when he calls tonight. If so, I'll send you some of both cuz its stupid expensive in the shops if you can even get it. Rich does trade shows alot to sell his stuff and I have a few pics of those if ya wanna see.

Usually, I've got both the idiots here cuz Rich lives in a condo and no kids ever come to their door. Really, what good is it if you're not testing the integrity of a young teens cardio vascular system?
I gotta say, Halloween around here isn't quite the same without Dumb and Dumber decorating. No maimed body parts, No realistic spider womb thingies pouring millions of little black widows all over the porch, and no utterly terrified toddlers running screaming bloody murder from the door step. Michael Angelo didn't carve the pumpkins, my trunk has no severed body parts hanging from it. *sigh*

hugs Speeshe's back. Stage whispers, but its really just glue that they made up in the mad lab in my backyard with shit from the kitchen in between making rotted pirate teeth and dressing up like different hee rows to see if they can get lucky, snort! swear they are the two biggest children on earth.

I'm not sure what the stuff is that came with the ears. It's a wee vial of something vaguely orangey-brown which I assume is spirit gum of some sort. There's not much of it either. See, to me, sensible would have been to put an equal sized vial of surgical spirits in there to remove the damn things, but I am no ear-packager.

I just get shivers since I remember the time one of our actors tore off his fake moustache without using anything...eep!

[ghettoelleth]

Well, I know that the guys don't use crap like that because it tends to scald the top layers of the dermis and its so hard to take off and they have to do this over and over again for days in a row. They'd have a crew of really pissed off oozy people writhing in pain. I know that its called super stupid, no, that's not it. superstay, something like that, I would go look but I am just so busy typing this, hehe. SuperSolv is the remover, that I do know cuz I've stared at the damn bottle enough times. Every time dopey uses a wig, 'just for laughs', I'm the one who has to take all the adhesive out of his hair from the bald cap.

I was just saying that I thought it was an interesting article. The article mentioned a woman who teaches classes on herbalism, rituals, potion making, meditation, and all sorts of other things in weekend long seminars that she does. I think it's cool that people can explore their options and educate themselves about all kinds of different things and not have to break the bank to do it. If I could deduct it in my taxes, I'd travel the world studying anything and everything I could. You can never learn too much. As it stands now, I'll be paying for my useless degree until I'm 110. Which brings me back to the subject at hand... Halloween. My senior year in college I went to a Halloween party dressed as Galadriel, elf ears and all. Of course this was before the movies came out so no one had any idea who I was, and everyone thought I was a huge geek for dressing up as a character from a book. It was a kick ass costume though.

Oh poor Roxie, the devesating realization that the Liberal Arts Degree is really for preppie f&*^(rs with the luxury of wasting that much cash on a degree that they've only worked for to wile away the days until they can take over daddy's corner office. I know your pain sister, I have many a friend with a liberal arts degree now working as what they call a Mental Health Specialist, in the field and those of us in the know call a comb requistions specialist. They spend their days going from board and care home to board and care home assuring that the residents have all the hygiene products they require. Ouch. Travel my dear, if you have no children and a husband who isn't anal, travel all you can. I'm almost done raising mine so as soon as the girl is old enough to understand fully the threat loss of limbs if you party in my house, we're outta here. We've been practising for his for 15 years! (don't do the math, its complicated, lol)

[RoxieRxChicago]

My degree is actually in Musical Theatre, which is even more useless than good old Liberal Arts. Although, I did learn one useful thing, and this is for you Space. Avon Skin-so-soft, will take that spirit gum right off. If you get it in your hair though it'll make it oily as hell, so I suggest a strong shampoo.
