Halloween

A few songs to set the mood for today.^^

Halloween - Stephen Lynch
This is Halloween - The Nightmare Before Christmas
Monster Mash - Bobby "Boris" Pickett

Halloween does light up the autumn. When it gets a bit to cold to roam the forests hunting chanterelles (yes, it's hunting 'cause they would run if they could), you get pumpkinheads and masquerades to look forward to. Instead of barbies the toy stores sells the-essential-goth make up, witch hats and bats. It might be just another way to make commercial money, but I still think it's charming for a change.

"A pinch of your brother a teaspoon of you
With the head of your sister would make a good stew
I'd give you a taste but you're tongue's in the stew; irony
That's what Halloween means to me "

Halloween - tribute

Since it's soon Halloween I figured it's time to come up with something new, but first I explored some of my old weird outfits from the last year - and figured I'll just have to continue being slightly crazy, because it's so fun.



Absynth, my zombie-version of Elisabet Báthory





Intergalactic party people at Freakshow, even got to paint Slutty turqoise. I had diods in my hair that were blinking in different colours... and the red paint is UV colour.





Freakshow again (or "Freaky Queer Allstar" at that time), old school horror á la 1920





We were going to Absynth and Monochrome, absynth is green and mono had X-mas theme so I figured the Grinch would work. Didn't realize that it was UV-colour until we were on the dance floor, haha. The Grinch goes light bulb.



Polychrome, when mono goes colourful once a year...



Halloween 09, sea creature... and not mother of the Hulk (as some drunk people on the tram thought).




So, what to do this Halloween...?

Tattoo

I forgot the charger to my camera somewhere so can't snap any new pics right now... but I can always upload some old pics instead.

Partly hand made tattoo á la 2010

Spontaneous tattoo made by my friend Kai. Surprise-visited him in Copenhagen at Kunsten på Kroppen a couple of months ago and he says:

"Hmmm, I have a cancellation tomorrow... would you like to get a tattoo?"



... of course I said yes, on the condition that he made a viking dragon (urned style) with ivy leafs. The next day he attacked me with a pointed stick and part of the result is shown above. ;) The lines are made with machine and the dots with a needle on a stick. Pimped my leg.

I made him do a small dot on my little toe as well, just for the sake of it.

Black light tattoo á la 2009:

My first tiny and invisible tattoo.

On the pick below J gets his gothic letters.


Let's just hope we don't get cancer.^^ One and a half year later we're still alive and healthy, the scarring is hardly visible but the blacklight-shiny-effect has faded a bit (as excpected though).


Above: moi, newly made triquetra 2009.

Mountain goat

Ok, after a long break of travelling Europe living viking life I'm back in black. Or at least I'm spontaneously climbing big mountains in Poland/Slovakia with J (they couldn't quite decide who the mountain really belongs to so the bordermarks are put up along the peaks of the red mountain).

Halfway (1500m?) we took a shot of honey vodka (we're in Poland, it would be weird not to) in a cute little inn. A few hundred metres higher the clouds took over and we found ourselves staring at a mountain goat, who was polite enough to stare back for a while. The condensed water created a white landscape of ice crystals on everything, including our hair. Next time we hopefully have a better camera than our cellphones.

Now for the funny Polish spelling: we went up at Hala Gasienicowa to Kopiec Krolowei. Went on to Kasprowy and Czerwone Wierchy... and then down. Somehow my foot got sad (I blame walking downwards from 2000m height) so I'm inwalido right now.




This evening I'm off to Sweden. Hoping there are more silly adventures around, and that my foot starts working better again. Take care!
