17 Oct 04 - 10:03 PM (#1299376) Subject: RE: BS: Halloween dressups From: Rapparee Tatanka-Iyotanka (1831-1890) A Hunkpapa Lakota chief and holy man under whom the Lakota tribes united in their struggle for survival on the northern plains, Sitting Bull remained defiant toward American military power and contemptuous of American promises to the end.... He was remembered among the Lakota not only as an inspirational leader and fearless warrior but as a loving father, a gifted singer, a man always affable and friendly toward others, whose deep religious faith gave him prophetic insight and lent special power to his prayers. |

And how would you accomplish Medusa? |

Had this shirt and made myself a skirt to match--black with red fringe and a painted-on horseshoe and roses to match, with black boots and a huge belt. Looked very cute. Won an award for best costume at a 1950's-themed hobby show, too. |

11 Oct 06 - 07:20 AM (#1855680) Subject: RE: BS: Halloween dressups From: Liz the Squeak I 'did' Medusa 2 years ago - plait hair in as many plaits as it will take without being silly (mine went into 13). Get an alice band/plastic hair band. Get some little rubber snakes (I used 7 x 12" in assorted colours) and attach them with tape or glue to the alice band, making sure they stick out at all angles. Put the alice band on head, with a couple of plaits bent under it so they stick up a bit. Pearly green eyeshadow used as blusher for that snakey sheen, darker green or yellow eyeshadow, purple or dark green lipstick, or glitter lipgloss. A white sheet toga pinned in appropriate places and a pea green over tunic with a green cord belt completed the ensemble and scared a couple of people silly when they came to my door! LTS |
