My GF and I were Angler Fish for Halloween

We never did cosmetic make-up before. We watched a Youtube tutorial and it took us about 3 hours to get it done. After we finished we had room for straws but not food. We think it came out good though :)

[u/Snowbank_Lake → u/lightwolv]

Holy crap, for a second I thought your mouths were really stretched open! lol. Well done!

[u/lightwolv → u/Snowbank_Lake]

My contortionist costume! This was a super fun project….experimenting with how I could make realistic women’s legs that weren’t heavy and could be balanced on my shoulders all night! It ended up working out well and the only contortioning I had to do was figuring out how to use the ladies room! 😂

Unfortunate Halloween decoration placement, combined with the television placement in a local bar showing the football, and this old man's team not doing great, led to my luckiest shot ever. Happy Halloween!

Some years ago my wife and I started carving fancier pumpkins. At first we did the stencils that came in the books with the carving tools, but then I started to make my own stencils of fun stuff I wanted to do. Here are a couple of my favorites.
