Actually, muslin masks might fit the steampunk look. You wouldn't want to catch cold, would you?

http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/?p=9753 This is not a fashion violation except in the sense that Walmart forgot it did not exist back then.

With all the shopping I do at Walmart, I'm surprised I'm not up there.

planning tattoos and roadtrips...

Watching gothphles post about what they're doing all at the same time.

Writing proposals.

Give it a day to dry.

First, I acquired my pair "used in new condition". I recall that they're a 42 or something equivalent to US 10 Mens by the numbers. I wear a US 10.5 Mens when it comes to platform boots. They fit, but only after taking to a shoe repair place for stretching, a few weeks of baby powder and thin stripeys and a few times getting totally soaked in the rain. So, yes, there's some leeway. Better to go larger and wear thicker socks when in doubt.

There's a place on Mt. Elliot not too far from St. Albertus Church (yes, that one in the post-apocalyptic landscape just outside of Eastern Market) that sells roofing copper for a reasonable price. I needed some for a portatif organ. Some of those masks look like gasmasks repainted, another challenge since very few paints stick to that rubber.

If you're going to get pierced for the pursuit of fame and fortune, I'd recommend ears, septum or tongue since there's sideshow acts for those piercings. For example, you could nail your tongue to a board. If you're going to do snakebites, at least consider getting more than three lower lip piercings or something rare like a vertical lowbret. Ultimately, if you're going to do it, do it in the off season so that they're "removable" by the time you're booking.

The only colors I haven't tried are the vibrant orange and yellow. I don't expect to try them for a while. My dream color would match the costumes I'm using at the time yet be chaotic and random. I'm probably going to lighten the dreadhawk and related hairs this week, dye green this month and add purple or blue in the future as the green fades and the season starts. I expect to use purple as a dominate color in my costumes this year.

Oh that's easy. My worst super power would be a direct telepathic connection to the internet. Screw WiFi, WiLan and DSL. I'm sure I'd be in a trance wasting away like Echo.

I'm not impressed because this is old news to me.

Thanks. Some of us work hard at specialized knowledge that has little use to the general population.

Yep. As expected.

That's easy. There's a script out there that takes any text and puts together symbols that look like upside down backwards writing. Most of the symbols have some phonetics meaning. Now, if you could post in a cryptoalphabet without resorting to posting an image, that would be impressive. I've set the title bars of all applications on my computer to a certain cryptoalphabet that I'm learning to write it. Of course, they're easy to crack being just Caesar ciphers, but hard enough that prying eyes pass them by.

Gloating over finally being able to update status on facebook, twitter and myspace simultaneously...

When I said "dildo scarf", I meant a scarf in the shape of a double ended dildo. Henry Ford used to have the gas lines for the Model T and his socks made in this weird crochet method which looks like the above penis scarf.

I just help a friend buy a Juan Cabana shrunken head a few weeks. Sideshows tend to gaff the shrunken heads since the real ones go for about $20,000 while the gaffs go for $200-2000 depending on who made it. They haven't been exported since the 1920s.

Now it's going to be several hours of research to find the math behind it.

I did the expensive custom fang thing once. I should have them someplace, but they're the same result.
