i've heard you can use a glue stick to cover your eyebrows.. i know it works for drag but i don't know if it will work for this

[SilverDrgnbane]

@dracheumarmen Yes, I have heard of that too. It might not help if you're going to cover it with latex though. I will have to try it and see. :)

Everything is great, although you need to get to the basic points instead of wondering off about this and that, keep it short and sweet!

[SilverDrgnbane]

hehe.Yeah, I know. The videos were done on a whim. The serious version is written with photos. Since I was putting on the makeup for that I figured recording would be fun too.

No script=rambling talk XD

[miession]

ahhh great XD

You are reaally funny, thx!

I know I know I´m a bit early, but I can´t stop thinking about my next halloween costume :P thats why I´m watching this videos now ^^"

I´m probably going to dress me like a zombie with an open belly from an autopsy (Y-cut) oh!oh! and I want a lot of maggots :D

Of course I will use liquid latext for the open belly, but I still got no idea where I can buy it...

Well sorry I´m talking to mutch (shit) again XD thanks for your video!

You can get LL at Halloween stores during the season, or you can order it online.

Oh, I have an idea for your juicy innards. ^^

You could get those long balloons for twisting, fill them partially with water and corn starch, and embed them in you open belly in long loops. >D

@SilverDrgnbane you can also use spirit gum wait until it dries and then use a glue stick over that if the glue stick alone doesn't work.. you can cover it with makeup.. not too sure about covering it with latex though.. hope that helps..

you can also get beige pantyhose, cut off the legs, and fill with paper towels. then tie off both legs and put in a large bowl with hot red Jell-o liquid and make sure it soaks evenly into the pantyhose. leave overnight in the refrigerator. if you want it to be super messy, just pour some fake blood over them before you use them. hope this helps!

[miession]

thx!! wow that´s a damn good idea :D I´ll try it next halloween for sure!!
