Flashbacks: Halloween

I decided to post about that silent months. I stopped the updates just before Halloween, so the first flashback is about that day.

Halloween is an American and English tradition that is not important at all in Spain and most of the countries of my group of friends. Despite of that, the people made the preparations in advance and the results were quite good.

Paige and Ryan were to pints of Guinnes. A really good idea if you are in Ireland. Rikka was a good witch, she looks like really innocent, as well as Sara the little fairy.

Flying Sara

One of my favourites customes was Walter's. His homemade ghostbuster suit was simply brilliant.

They were more interesting customes, but I don't have good photos of each one, but it was really funny to see all of them.

In fact, not all the people. Ilkka, Pasi and me were working at the university two hours before the Halloween party and we didn't have any costume or project of one. But we managed to do it!

Pasi borrowed some clothes from Sara and Caroline put some Tesco blood and other make up in Ilkka's face. In both cases, the result was frightening.

Finnish Zombies

I decided to make something more original: a crash dummy. I drew the sign that the dummies have in the articulations and then I printed docens. After painting the yellow parts, and paste it over a cereal box and cut it, that symbols were ready to stick over some dark clothes. The result was ambiguous, half of the people said: "Wow, the Nuclear Man!".

On conclusion, it was a very funny day.

Yep, that way you change it into a slow (probably painful as well) death!!

You should have licked that froth from the "Guinneses" and keep going down once you are done...

Vamos ya!
