Body Paint and Brains
A couple weekends ago Arnold and I went up to Ohio to visit his family and Aubrey. We went to the Ohio Reniassance festival. It was bunches of fun as usual. We ate Buskens, talked about ideas for Egyptian Christmas, and even went fabric shopping. Note: when you can't find fabrics that you like, go shopping with a quilter. Anyway, coincidentally, it was "Romance Weekend" at the fest. Arnold wore his Harlequin costume and I wore my Queen of Hearts. I was going to wear it anyway, "Romance Weekend" just made it funny. We saw a couple of shows. Arnold bought me some kick-ass celtic inspired earrings and I got my face and upper chest painted. I walked up to the face painter and said "I'd like a design to match my outfit" and she said "and you want it right there" pointing to her chest. I figured "why not" and had my face and upper chest painted (see pictures below). The funny part came when my mother was talking to a co-worker who asked her to go trick-or-treating with her and her daughter. Mom asked if she could paint her face. The woman said "You'd do that". My mother replied "Hell yeah, my daughter just had her tits painted". For the record it was my "upper chest" not my tits.
In other news, we are having a Zombie movie marathon tomorrow, so I made a "brain cake" I used one of those "filled cake" pans and made a domed cake with no-bake cheesecake in the middle. I put gummy worms in the cheesecake, cut a hole in the top of the "brain" and made it look like the worms were crawling out of it. I am actually quite happy with the way it turned out. See the pictures below.
