Watching someone trying on a foam latex mask

During the last weekend I had a lot of people coming who were looking for costumes. One party had a requirement for having the face covered. One lady rented a witch costume from me and was trying on different masks to see which one fits the costume and is the most comfortable to wear. Amongst my witch masks is also a foam latex based mask which is very soft. She did try that as well but took it off fairly fast due to heat apparently. foam latex masks generally do not get anywhere near as hot as normal latex masks. I have worn that particular mask briefly before and found it was spacious inside and because of its size, my eyesight was limited. It is not very common for female masks to be requested. Often men want masks with their costumes. Women sometimes want extra eyemasks, but rarely full masks.

It was qutie amazing to see how different she looked with the mask on when she moved around a bit. Unfortunately the mouth of the mask hardly moved when she spoke. Other people were watching as well and gave comments and advice.

Sleeping in a foam latex mask

Last night I decided to put on several of my foam latex masks to see which one is the easiest to wear when it comes to breathing and eyesight when lying down. I tried several different ones and the one of a slightly eldery man ended up being good for breathing, good eyesight and a snug fit. At the time I was quite tired and ended up falling asleep. During the night I woke up once while sweating a bit and realised I was still wearing the mask, then I decided to leave it on since it wasn't too hot and quite comfortable. This morning I finally took it off before leaving for work. It always amazes me again how different I look with those faces on. Those masks can be a lot of fun to wear, especially with the appropriate clothing.

New mask promotion on costume renting website

Finally I have started promoting foam latex masks on my costume renting website. When somebody searches for something and gets no results, then the following image with some text appears:

The photo took a few minutes to make which included putting on the mask and holding up another while setting up the tripod.
The main purpose of this is to see how many people are actually interested.

Seven new realistic foam latex masks ordered

Last night I finally ordered seven mostly realistic looking foam latex masks from Greyland Film in Europe. One of them is a replacement for another one that got torn, the other six are new faces to use for costumes or just simply for some parties. I am very much looking forward to trying them all on.

New dinosaur suit

Yesterday I finally received a new dinosaur suit from a local manufacturer. The suit itself is a mission to get into, but it looks really good when finally in it. No way to tell it a man or woman is inside due to the foam inside that gives the shape. As expected, it does get hot.
