Your wife has a beautiful neck

[thehefner]

The first bald cap split. The second was too tight. The spirit gum was too old. As was the silver hair color. The claws' glue had dried in the bottle, and even though we bought nail fixative from CVS, there was no time before we went to take in the 10:00 screening of Nosterfatu at the AFI.

Nonetheless, people seemed rather pleased with how I turned out.





With the hair, I think I turned out more rat-like than vampire-like, but based on the fact that three different strangers wanted photos with me after the film, I'm guessing it was good enough. They said that I looked perfect, which--considering how much more makeup and prosthetics I wanted to use and had to go without--is the best kind of dubious compliment.

I wish I'd gotten a photo with Henchgirl as Snow White. She said that the pairing doesn't work at all, but I liked to think we met on "The PaleBook." I'm going to keep saying it until it's funny, damn it.

You resemble a cross between Klaus Kinski and Bruno Ganz.

Lack of bald cap and claws or not, you do make a damn killer vampire.

But then, you're pretty damn awesome in all of the roles you give us internet peoples glimpses of. :3

The PaleBook is totally boss, man. And you look fucking fantastic. I squeed when I saw what kind of vampire you were.
