Haha, OK. This is me. In last year's Halloween costume. I played around with the colors and contrast to make it a bit spookier and such. Anyway, this was taken at our American friends' and our Halloween party in my hometown in an older building, so we had some nice areas to take some atmospheric images. Note, that it was extremely cold that day and I ended up getting sick from running around in a skirt and short-sleeved shirt. Oh, the irony.

The blood was a mixture of cocoa, flour, water and red food dye. It was incredibly fun to spray it on for my sister and some friends.

One of the sadder things is, though, that the younger kids at the party were a tad frightened of me (one of them even hid behind their mom, although once I had taken off the bandages she seemed to be okay again). Also, when we went trick-or-treating (we being me and ) we were asked to stay away from the door when they gave us candy. And we kept scaring the kids we were accompanying. Fun stuff. Yes, I know we're too old for trick-or-treating, but why would we miss out on a chance of running around in a blood-covered outfit?

Oh, yeah, by the way, my younger sister sewed me the skirt, since I have no knowledge of sewing, knitting or anything of the like.
