Playing dressup.
Sunday, November 1, 2009 at 5:18PM Yesterday, for the lovely Olya's birthday celebrations, we had a beautiful picnic in the Melbourne Royal Botanic gardens. Later that night, we decided to get into the Halloween spirit, get dressed up and go dancing with a group of Olya's friends.
We went back to my place and basically just threw together costumes out of what we already had. Olya borrowed my red wig and I quickly painted her face (she did the lips, though). She looked like some sort of sexy she-Zorro as you can see here.
I threw on a bad wig, bad makeup and a princess dress. While we were walking down the street, a bald guy, dressed all in black, his face painted white, yelled at me "The princess thing is SO old and boring." I was tempted to yell back "So is the ugly old goth thing" or something to that effect... but I like to think I'm a better person than that.
Excellent photo below taken by Olya with some adjustments in Photoshop done by me. Woot! 
Note to self: Horrible synthetic fibre princess dresses are NOT good for dancing in on hot, humid evenings. Fun, though.

Jessie, you are so adorable here.
You both look gorgeous.
You look good! you both do, I like Olay's makeup, especially the goldy bits under her eyes.
Honestly, folks, the only reason I look good is due to Olya's skills with the camera... I shall have to post a photo that more accurately captures how terrible I truly looked at some point! $3 wigs are awful but so much fun.
