It's Not Easy Being Green

 For tomorrow's skating competition I have to transform myself into a green faced witch.



 It's not as easy as you think.



 I bought expensive theatrical makeup and watched lots of Elphaba tutorials but it took a great deal of patience to get the color I wanted in all the places I needed to be green. I have to be green for 4 minutes and then an hour later be an old librarian for 4 more so I have to get the green off as fast as I put it on. Gulp.


The green really makes your wrinkles pop. I won't have any trouble convincing anyone that I am a wicked old witch. The red wig was just for fun. I probably will just go with my own witchy hair but I couldn't resist trying on all the costume pieces I have leftover from last year.



As for the burned foot. I babied it all week. The neighbors must think I'm nuts.




Not bad. With enough salve and a big bandage I should be good to go.
So....when was the last time you put on a costume?

    In 2014, I was an M&M for Halloween, but that did not involve makeup!
    I think you look gorgeous green, and I can't see a single wrinkle!

    I use to always dress up as a witch for trick or treat when the kids were little and I refuse to say how long ago that was. LOL! I love witch costumes! That burn on your foot looks pretty darn wicked too.
