i love to play dress up
Yesterday I posted school pictures of the kids and it got me thinking about how fast they are growing up. Ella has informed me that this year she will not need a costume, she will just whip something up with a leftover dance recital costume. I'm really going to miss dressing her up. I have so much fun with not only the costume, but the makeup and the PROPS! What's a good costume without the props? Jeremy has said I could do some cool makeup on him, like a skeleton face, so I still have that to hang onto.
Here's a couple of pics of my all time favorite costumes, props and make up.
This is my favorite , the sock hop waitress. In the one below notice she is chewing gum, and has a pencil for taking orders behind her ear. What a good sport she was!
The next one wins for best make up.
All the kids at school wanted to be " dead " somethings. Jeremy decided to be a dead punk rock skater.
I temporarally died his hair black, rolled over his t-shirt with with my jeep's painted the tires and then bloodied and bruised him up.
Those are just a few, I'll post some more throughout the month.
So excited to "play" Julia Child today. Till tomorrow...
