I spend hours on the makeup, and then the camera flash washes it out. :P The wig turned out shockingly well, though. Click over to flickr to see more, including a better shot of my Stellan Skarsgard-homage starfish. I upgraded my makeup at the staging area, so I hope some good pictures of me in the parade turn up. The parade itself was a blast, but next time I need to wear more comfortable boots.

Now it's time to make coffee and clean the house.
