Run for you lives! Zombie Run 2013

Toad and I went to the Run for Your Lives So Cal yesterday. It was amazing We are going again in March. For the uninitiated, it is a 5 K run and you can either be a runner or you can be a zombie who attacks the runners. Obviously, we were zombies. 4 hours of running victims. It was epic.

After make up, before the blood.

All tuckered out. Killing runners is hard work.

Thrashed after many hours of eating victims.

Birthday bash for my (sort of ) brother in law

My sister's boyfriend had a birthday and they had a party at his house to celebrate. Yeah, I'm all with my water instead of jell-o shot. I had to drive.

Bring your child to work day

 

Toad, offical Hunter style. Bring your child to work day was awesome.

Repo/Devils Carnival event

One word.... Awesome. I met Emilie Autumn and Terrance Zdunich. Terrance complimented my make up. So fucking rad.

We are in the middle right hand side. The pledge was because Emilie premiered her first music video at the event, and they asked us not to record it because it is having it's world premiere soon. It is for the song "Fight like a girl" off her third album and the video is epic. I will link it once it comes out.

EDIT: The video!!!!!!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahLTwcv6rVk

The looks we got walking out of the hotel were hilarious. Apparently the demonic clown and the graverobber look aren't the norm. Who knew? In any case, tons of people were taking our pictures at the event. Good times.

Terrance sang!!!!!

Q&A

Getting situated before it started.

 

Shadow cast for Repo, this is obviously Repo Man

 

Pavi and Rotti Largo, shadow cast.

 

The event went until 2 am so obviously we stayed at a hotel. The next day, we hit up the pier. :) We love Santa Monica almost as much as we love Hollywood. Almost.

I look so excited. :)

Repo the genetic Opera/The Devils Carnival!

I have been swamped busy lately... in any case.... Toad and I are going to the Repo/Devils carnival event next week. We are of course super stoked as we love love love love both movies. The nerdiness is overwhelming, I know.

And since we take any opportunity at all to wear weird stuff in public, we are going in costume. This is mine:

 

It's kind of a Maiden of Woe/Hell's Harlequin sort of thing, the skirt is from a steam punk outfit of mine and obviously the top is one of my any corsets. I need to pick jewelry still and my make up will have a white based face. I just didn't bother putting on full stage make up for the trial run. It's a pain to wash off. The costume isn't exactly like one of the maindens of woe, mostly because I don't generally own clothes with those kinds of prints on them. We are working on a bit of a time crunch to put something together. But I feel like it will go with the feel of the event and work fine.

 

In other news, the count down to this years masquerade ball has begun. We've already got our tickets for Saturday night and I think we will end up going Friday too. We'll see. Friday is steampunk night, so we want to do both. I've picked my costume for this year, but haven't started making it yet as the supplies are still en route to me.

 

I'm going as Wick from the Devil's carnival. This is her:

 

 

The waist cincher, corset boning to make the cage skirt and the gloves are on their way. I'm on a mission to find the bolero jacket now. Wish me luck on that, I'd rather not have to sew one. Gauzy fabrics are a huge pain.

Feb Gallery show

The event went great, when Toad and I left the place was packed. Such a great event.

Dicken's festival

Had such a good time... The costumes were awesome.
