Pick Your Poison

Cyanide or Arsenic? Cheers to the Cast and Crew!

Plus I made bone cupcakes. The bones are made out of marzipan rather than fondant because I don't care how you make fondant, it just doesn't taste as good as marzipan.

I thought this was cute for the weekend performances of Arsenic and Old Lace.

I think this will be fun with a touch of fear...full.

Tasty Tuesday

With Opening Weekend for my hubby's play, I felt like I had to do something for the cast and crew. So, what do you think I did? Yep, I baked cupcakes...

I tried to make them black frosting with white skeleton bones. I guess I need a little more practice. Oh well, I have another weekend to work on it ;D

REVIEW - Opening Night

It was a HOT one!!! The show was fun, the actors did a great job, the stage crew was on-spot and it was a wonderful weekend. But...it was hot. At about 100 degrees in the cold Pacific Northwest, we were all toasty.

Here are a few shots from the play.

Here's my hubby in his stage makeup

Would you care for a glass of Elderberry Wine?

Opening Night

Tonight is opening night!!! I just wanted to say "break a leg" to the cast and crew :D

Thursday Thriller

My hubby is playing a serial killer in Arsenic and Old Lace. He's supposed to have had a botched plastic surgery on his face. So, we started playing with some liquid latex. Here's the fun we had.

Okay here he is normally - I know a little scarey ;)

But here he is putting the makeup on.

And here he is at his first attempt at stage makeup.

I know gorgeous :D It's going to take a little -- okay -- maybe a lot of practice but it sure is fun playing to look sinister and devilish ;D
