Wow. I've been neglectful for over ten months... Sorry! My only excuse is that I have a job and have trouble finding time for interesting makeup and testing things out. This weekend was a Halloween party, though, so I had to break through my tiredness and have some fun! I decided to go as Oblina from "AAAH! Real Monsters!" because she has been, still is, and always will be a favorite cartoon character of mine.

I tried to find stuffed big lips to complete the look, but apparently they are only available on Valentine's Day, so I decided to be a human version of Oblina. After putting it all together, I realized the costume could be interpreted as several people/characters (that are all cool): A female Beetlejuice, a deranged Harley Quinn in prison stripes, Helena Bonham Carter in any given movie role or in real life, or some degree of a goth/punk. Still works for me.
My favorite reaction to my costume was from my friend T.J, The conversation went thusly (Almost verbatim)
T.J.: So what are you supposed to be?
Me: It can be interpreted different ways, but my vision was for Oblina from "AAAH! Real Monsters!"
T.J.: What's that?
Me: 90's Nickelodeon cartoon. I loved it so much as a kid.
T.J.: What else did people guess?
Me: Oh, Beetlejuice, Harl...
T.J.: Oh, shit! I just realized who you were talking about. I know the show and now remember the monster. Damn! That's awesome!
'Twas a fun night, my first time in forever dragging out the wild makeup and having fun with it.
