Post Chimera Post 2 – Saturday afternoon
Posted on Sep 4, 2010 12:52:20 AM
Don’t get me wrong, Saturday morning was great! I got to play a supervillainess in red leather knee boots and suchlike, but the only body art was the tribal spider tattoo on my arm, so I guess this isn’t the place for it… ah, who am I kidding. 
See? There is body art… sort of…
All these photos of Chimera are taken by our ninja photographer, Judit Klein. She’s amazing. She probably gets sick of hearing “Wow, when did you take that photo? I didn’t even see you!” Which is, of course, perfect for a larp photographer.
Anyway, Saturday afternoon was more fun from a makeup perspective. I got to play with latex and gelatine for the first time. I made the prosthetics before the game and colored them on my skin on the day. The total break time for getting out of the previous costume, eating lunch and getting into this one was one hour, so it was a little rushed. This is me as a mutant human. I thought I’d mess with trying to make those pretty little diamantes look slightly disturbing, like they were growing out of my skin and eating it away. I don’t think it really came out looking like that, but it looks… mutanty, so I call it a win.
Again, two great games and two fun characters to play. No photos are available of Saturday night yet. It was a shotgun WildWest game, so imagine haybales, guns galore, cowboy hats, boots, jeans, red injuns, saloon girls. Yeehaw!
