Several hours spent inside of a Greyland foam latex mask at an annual party

This last Saturday, I spent several hours in a foam latex mask plus costume with latex parts at the annual German Karneval Matieka in Stellenbosch. A lot of people wanted to know what I looked like underneath the mask. Some wanted to see, then they decided against it. Over the many hours, the mask got rather wet inside from perspiration due due dancing, but it was still fine for me. From the outside, the was no sign of me sweating. The mask is called GOMER (F287-7) on the Greyland Film website. Some people said it looked quite scary when I had it combined with the Clone Trooper costume from Star Wars. My original costume idea was something different, but my friend who came along wanted a sci-fi outfit. He wore some old man mask also from Greyland Film and the Anakin Skywalker costume.

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.

Costume laundry after a Halloween weekend

During the Halloween weekend I rented out about thirty costumes. The Sunday when the first costumes started coming back, I had three loads of washing machine done. Last night I finally did the second last load. One or two days during the week I had no chance to do laundry, due to a dog between me and the washing machine that loves to bite me and has done so a few times already.

The Halloween Friday was a lot of fun. I was invited to a party and had a French Maid costume on. To the costume I added some extra gloves, a mask from Greyland and an extra wig. The mask allowed me to eat smaller bits of food like sweets and chips. Some people took a long time to realise that I was wearing a mask. Fortunately with the Greyland masks there is no real sweatign involved because they are made out of foam latex. In the end I got a prize for best costume and people were apparently still talking about that one days later.
