I don't make wigs or masks or anything like that but I would love to have one. Maybe put battery operated LED lights in it and use it as a lamp.

I think I'd like it better if it were glossy white, or looked like actual bone. I recently bought a Smilodon (sabor-tooth cat) replica skull from Home Goods. It's pretty awesome, and large - probably about the size of a small African lion's skull. I have a love for cats, and have two little Gray fur-balls myself. Our 4-yr old male Cobalt (a reference to the band Coheed & Cambria) and our ten-month old male Banksy (named after the infamous graffiti artist, because Banks is a little trouble maker, but we love him dearly.)<br /><br />Tonks is super cute and still has an adorably large nose!Hilary Porterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00946437869164707715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-59599071485132516272014-07-17T20:11:26.297-04:002014-07-17T20:11:26.297-04:00And another, in not quite the same vein, but I sti...And another, in not quite the same vein, but I still love it.

It does give her a very cute expression, though. <br /><br />I, too, have a bit of a creep-tolerance, I've been told. I have an old hairdresser's mannequin-head that has been modge-podged with brown paper bags and rubbed with shoe polish.

He was a halloween decoration I bought one year and could never bring myself to put away. He sits there through every holiday, smiling his skelly-smile and creeping out my guests. I think my mother is finally getting used to him though. As a child I had a stuffed raccoon in my room that I played with as a pet, I kept an eyeball and brains from a pig we slaughtered (lived on a farm) in a jar of vinegar by my bed and it is all juxtaposed with cutsey little cartoon animals and a collection of littlest pet shop toys. I think that is what creeps people out more than the blatant stuff - that someone can be just as thrilled with MLP / LPS / Cute Overload as with Adam's Family Horror.Joellenoreply@blogger.com
