The Great Old One

I first became a fan of H.P. Lovecraft in college many years ago.  It was then that I discovered his character Cthulhu and became enamoured with the whole mythos.

The only role playing game I've ever played was Call of Cthulhu.

I've got a Cthulhu cell phone case.

And now?  Cthulhu glitter tattoo stencils!  They will be with me at Wicked Faire this year, together with all my other glitter tat stuff, including my Halloween and Alice in Wonderland sets.

Cthulhu, baby!

Oh, and that cell phone holder?  Here...

This'll be with me at Wicked too, of course.

Afternoon of Henna

I was hired to do henna today at my client's daughter's 50th birthday party. Yes, 50th. I was a surprise, part of the birthday gift, because the birthday girl is a huge henna fan. It showed when my client introduced me to her daughter, and she kept looking back and forth between me and her mother saying, "Really? Seriously? You have henna?" and then sort of squealed.

She wasn't the only one; I was a hit at the party in general, and people got henna even though it meant they couldn't get back in the pool on a nice, warm day. My takers were mostly girls and women, though some men went for it too.

I think the only person who might not have loved me to death was a teenage boy who wanted to use my henna himself to "graffiti" inappropriate words or pictures on another boy. With young kids at the party, I didn't think this was the proper venue for such things and refused.

I do lament the fact that I wasn't able to get good, clear photos of these last two. I really liked them, but it was headed toward evening and with the dim light, I had trouble getting the camera to focus properly. I figure they're worth posting anyway.
