Today I put the finishing touches (hair) on a severed head prop.  Here's what it looks like:  John the Baptist head front ...and back He should be making his television debut in a National Geographic biblical documentary early next year.   Now, on to upcoming events!     FRIDAY NIGHT Okay, I won't actually be putting lipstick on my teeth.  Experience my online drag queen makeup tutorial !  I will be demonstrating beard cover-up, eyeshadow blending, contouring, eyelash-gluing and more. This is a really fantastic way to learn because you can sit at your computer with your makeup right there beside you--you can even put your makeup on along with me and ask questions as I teach.  You can choose to share your camera and I'll help you in live, two-way video (or you can remain completely anonymous. You only share video or...
