October!

October is the BEST MONTH EVER. I absolutely love it. I haven't exposed much of my horror-obsessed side in this blog because, well, it isn't intrinsically trans-specific and it's a huge gruesome turn-off to a whole lotta people. However, October is the one month that I will make a horror-in-blog exception, seeing as it's a.) my favorite month ever, b.) an excuse to do awful gruesome super fun makeup and c.) hard not to obsess about and, therefore, difficult to express anything else.

So, just to forewarn those who aren't also lovers of horror and gore, below I will be posting images of my gruesome Halloween costume!

And now with that disclaimer aside, I had so much fun on Halloween. My roommate, a friend, and I decided to do a group theme this year - as "Bill the Baseball Fury", "The Brown Knight" and "Wolf Melt" from a fairly recent indy horror/comedy movie called Murder Party.

In the film, the character I dressed up as, "Wolf Melt", he's a guy wearing a wolf mask for Halloween. Throughout the film he boozes it up until, ultimately, he's passed out on the floor drenched in alcohol. Eventually he stumbles outside for a cigarette but, low and behold, forgets to take the mask off and KABOOIE! One wolf melt.

Initially I had PROMISED myself that I'd abstain from doing some intense makeup job this year. These past few years, since finally purchasing a little makeup kit with some liquid latex and, well, makeup, the gore doors had opened and ever since I've gone hog wild. Perks: LOTS of fun and challenging, and reactions are swell. CONS: Generally difficult to eat, hot, and a pain to remove.

But, alas, a few days before Halloween I snapped and decided that I absolutely had to melt the mask to my face. Then laid awake at night looking forward to it. Oh obsession is fun. Healthy, too!

Pre-Melting Accident:

WOLF MELT! Arroooo! And Murder Party pals!

Oh that burns! Not fo' real real though just fo' play play.

"Bill the Baseball Fury" going after "The Brown Knight" as "Wolf Melt" hobbles along behind!

LATER, LATER, LATER at around 3am went to Dennys where they weren't going to seat us due to my face but, luck of the draw, I knew a manager working that night who vouched for me and the other manager reluctantly mumbled, "ugh, fine fine."

The feller who plays "Wolf Melt" in the actual movie, Macon Blair, wrote to me on Facebook, "Holy. Fucking. Shit. That's amazing, man. You recreated that to perfection...and you got the pre-burn wolf mask in there too! Your diligence and attention to detail is way way fucking impressive."

Now THAT'S flattering.
