Three lovely ladies from Seattle came into the Kids Market and got their faces painted. Number one was a Sunset...

Number two was a midnight venetian mask...

And number three was a princess venetian mask! Thanks for emailing me the photos ladies!

I also took time to check out Just Imagine and visit Camilla and Laura, who surprised me all dressed up! Halloween is here soon, and the store is getting ready, I can't wait to see all the stuff as it arrives. I'll be checking in regularly to scope it out, I assure you.

Zombie Walk and Orphan Kitty Benefit!

Zombiiiiiiiies!
Once a year, Zombies come to town and brains are on the menu. 

Vancouver is known as Hollywood North, and when it comes to costuming, makeup artistry and characters we are unlike anywhere! The annual zombie walk is an amazing opportunity to see these film industry talents showcased, and to have a lot of fun! 

For those of you who are unsure of what a zombie walk entails, here is a quick description. After meeting at the Vancouver Art Gallery downtown all the zombies proceed to limp, lumber and lurch down Robson St. and up Denman St., stopping traffic and striking fear into the hearts of tourists. There were so many different types of zombies (girl scouts, superheros, even zombie Michael Jackson)! It was hilarious.

This year I was lucky enough to be invited to Cecily's "Let's Die Together" party before the walk. While I had some understanding of gory makeup (I went as a beheaded Marie-Antoinette for Halloween a few years ago) it was great to get some pointers from Cecily, a zombie veteran.  I think the results were pretty gross and awesome, and I already can't wait for next year!

I so scary!

I dressed as a Yoga Zombie, "STRETTTTTTTTCH!.  


Sunday, Hayley and I volunteered at the Vancouver Orphaned Kitten Rescue summer fundraiser. It was a beautiful day, and a great event. A band, a bouncy castle and kitties, what more could you want? This was my first time working with Hayley and she did great! I am excited to have her on as one of the Party Kids.

BC day and Kids Market Fun, and Family Overload!

Beebop and Rainbow
I know I may be a whole week late, but it's still worth blogging about BC day cause I got some great photos! As usual, we were invited to face paint and balloon twist at the Kids Market on Granville Island and it was a total blast. It wasn't nearly as busy as Canada day, so we were able to spend more time with each customer and even take lunch breaks. We got to spend some time with Rainbow the Dragon too, which is always a treat. He is a big fan of the Party Kids, and we are a big fan of his! Out balloon hats are getting more elaborate, and our designs more beautiful, and it's so much fun to spend time all together!

I also had a great time face painting at the Kids Market this week. I feel like something has switched and now I all of a sudden feel way more on my game. Practice makes perfect I guess!

 This week has also been great because my family is in town! And by family I mean my Grandma and Aunty from England, Great Aunt, Aunt and Uncle and cousin from Scotland, my family from the island just to name a few. Yay family overload! They were all here to celebrate the marriage of my cousin Dylan to his beautiful bride Markianna. The ceremony was held overlooking the beach in West Vancouver, and we were treated to fireworks in English Bay specially ordered by them (teehee). I laughed, I cried, and danced like a crazy person (as I am apt to do). It was such a joy. Congratulations Dylan and Markie!

Looks like summer is finally here, so please excuse me now while I run out to enjoy some sun! Peace!
