@Robbo, be sure to check your brakes before you hit those hills.  And put some playing cards in your spokes.

I have visions of something like that “Wheelchair Rally” scene from “The Benny Hill Show”, as you hurtle down the hill and plummet spectacularly over a cliff and into a bush, from which you emerge, and (in typical ADDer fashion), say, “Wow! What a rush!  I wanna do it again!”

As for my “interesting thing”…

Yesterday, I was part of a Circus-Sideshow-themed art-photo project!

After an hour in the make-up chair, I’d been transformed into the Bird-Lady, complete with beaky nose, huge false eyelashes, and glittering eye make-up that made my eyes look much bigger than they really are!  I’d never worn prosthetic make-up before, other than false eyelashes.  It wasn’t that bad, really.  Though I’d probably feel different about it, if it had been full-face instead of just a nose.

I wore a gold sequin-fringe dress, bright yellow tights (NOT Queen-size, for the first time in years!), big duck-feet, and a black feathered headdress & sequinned cape with feathered collar (part of the time), and a yellow ostrich-feathered headdress & coat (for the rest of the time).  I made the dress, coat, and cape, and customized the yellow headdress myself.

It’s been ages since I did a photo-shoot.  I’d forgotten how much I come to life and become someone totally different, when I put on a costume and step in front of a camera.  And yesterday, I became a cross between the Black Swan, Theda Bara, an opera diva, and a 1920s Russian theatre poster.

The photos will be for a gallery exhibit and/or a magazine feature.   I’ll post the details of whatever it turns out to be.
