Last year I dressed up as a Witch Doctor and wowed a lot of people with my outfit and performance. This year, I am reprising the role of Witch Doctor and calling up the dead. Now being poetic and creative, I wrote up this elaborate "spell" to summon the dead. The people that are putting on the Zombie Crawl absolutely loved the whole spheal that I put on for them.
So now the issue is getting my costume ready. As at this very moment I just realized that I ripped a big hole in the pants that I wore last year, so that means I need to get a new pair of pants! But that aside. I have some extra props that I am going to use this year.
I made a "ferryman's staff" which is a walking stick with a lantern attached to the top. So that is going to be one aspect of my Witch Dr. I have also made a few shrunken heads, to add to my costume this year as well. I also have a Chicken foot septer that I am going to use as my wand to call up the dead and to use for various other things throughout the season. Carmen and I are going shopping on Monday to get more previsions and hopefully while we are out and about I can find some big baggy black pants that will fit me. The joys of being a large man in todays skinny world is the true struggle.
Places like Walmart that use to carry bigger sizes now carry what I like to call "conservative" plus sizes. They are 3xl but really like an XL. There was a thrift store called Value Village close to where I live, but they closed that store and the closet one that I know of is like 100 miles away. And of course there is always Goodwill, but when you live in a hippy crunchy town where the "fattest" person is yourself and everyone else is like maybe 125lbs wet and in 14x gravity, you find it rather impossible to find things that fit.
I have also taken on a side project on top of all of these other projects going on in my life, I began making my own set of tarot cards. Now this is something that I have always wanted to do, but never had that ability to create them, let alone the drive to do so. I picked up this really unique deck at a thrift store and sadly they were not complete.
There were only 42 cards and there's supposed to be 72. But that has sparked my ambition to get these cards that I am working on made. So once I get them completed I think that I am going to do a limited run of them. Giving them to my friends and family who want them, and perhaps selling a few on the market and making them limited editions. I already have like 3 other decks in mind that I want to make. The deck that I am working on has the explanation of the card and a small blurb about what the card means printed on them. The next 3 will not have that, but will have the symbology and context that traditional cards have.
So its not that I dont love yall and thats why im not blogging or making videos right now, im just up to my armpits with side hustle's. So I wanted to pop in and update the blog. Of which is celebrating its 8th year, so Happy Birthday Hello Cupcake It's Me. 858a2424a04311c46b018c1efa3aaccadde5933ddacccc6f14
