~Almost forgot to show ya'll how CARLOS get's WILD for HALLOWEEN !!!

[spanishleprachaun]

Ohh wow.... was kinda surfing the harddrive and came across pics from this previous halloween 08.
Had this wild idea to do this costume for years, but always delayed.   Well this time,... I started to search down and study into getting prepped for this costune months ahead of October !    Ordered in custom vinere (sp?) fangs,  thetrical contacts, all that body makeup, and then the fun part ---- devising a way of affixing those 1.5foot long real cow horns on my head !

I had to rip apart a bicycle helmet, and then L-bracket the horns to the inner foam core of the helmet. I even installed a small "spegetti thin" neon light up one horn with a tricked out battery and switch I modified under the black wig. 

Putting on all that creame blue makeup took my friend christina and I about 45 minutes with those small makeup sponges
It was quite the challenge walking around and not stabbing people in the face with those horns even being tall at 6'1.  Modified them from the CURL DOWN position the 1st night to the CURL UP position the 2nd night.

I went out  the night before halloween and won a 50dollar bar tab and 2Nd place... and then Hallo night won 1st out of 60+contestants and won $300 clams !
next year there are 2 big clubs here in town that have $1000 first price.
I'll do the same thing,.. but with big platform shoes and blue neon up my legs !! hahahah

SO FROM THIS :

  Your alter ego is definitely SCAARRRRYYYY!!!!     Betcha you weren't so blue after all those $$ Prizes $$

[Kittyzee]

Awesome!  Hey, does that blue rub off on anything? 

[Joyce]

There' s only one way to find out!

Carlos, you should come to Chicago and join the Blue Man Group (http://www.blueman.com/tickets).

How long did it take to get all that Make-up off??

Yes that creme makeup does rub off !  To help stick it dry on skin better I took a FINISHING SPRAY that you apply after you get all that paint on.  You can also take hairspray and it will do the same thing.   ( YOU CAN SEE IN THE FIRST PIC WITH CHRISTY AND ANN,... THAT ANN HAS SOME BLUE ON HER ELBOW AND ARM )  I tried my best to warn people not to get TOO CLOSE,... but with wild people, drinks, and lots of picture taking,... did not always happen

To get all that mess off, I took BABY OIL to remove it.  Took about 30 min to get it off, took  2 towels to help rub it off.  Looked like I murdered SMURFETTE in the shower !

I was amazed as much as Amy and I hung out all night that she had no blue on her. Did not want to mess up that expensive costume of hers even if she claims it did fit TOO SMALL

You are reminicent of "KISS!"

Wow, Carlos, awesome!    If I was as young as you I'd be hugging too and not worried about the blue.
