Na, only about an hour. I have a pretty huge arsenal of makeup- it’s kind of my hobby, love to play with it- so I just dug through my stuff and used it in different ways.
In honor of the new series, I give you V
Can’t see it. It’s probably set so that anyone who is not your FaceBook friend can’t see it.
Fun costume!!! Great job
Needs more glitter.
Split-panel with inspiration: Harry Crane from Mad Men.
Yikes! Nice zombie.
The scary part is my brother-in-law dresses like that all the time.
Looks cool, but makes me glad I didn’t wear makeup with my costume.

Holy hell Shot From Guns!
You’re beautiful!
Bah! Once again I curse my lack of a digital camera!
Once the transit strike is over, I’ll have to get a friend over to take some shots.
Wow.
You don’t look mean or old, but certainly a lady!
I’m not sure how to take this.
I’m a witch fer cryin’ out loud! How much meaner does it get?
Not since Samantha have I thought so highly of a witch Meanoldlady!
Much to my surprise the (hilariously bad) magic show I attended had a costume contest, and this won second place.
Unfortunately I didn’t get a pic that included the skirt, and you can only kinda see the gloves, but you get the idea. (I think the pirate was my best accessory, though.

It seemed like zombies were really big this year. We had two pair of dead newlyweds, one dead bride without a dead groom, and a zombie pirate (who took first place).
Take it well. That was my reaction too!
I typically say wow when something fairly screwed up happens. Well, thanks then.
I demand full length photos. Build a time machine and take more if you must!
