Two Face, Bat Man's Enemy






My son loves Halloween. Every year since he was little he has dressed up as monsters for the most part. He told me the other day he wished he could dress up every day. He just loves the process as well as the end result.
This year his costume was Two Face, Bat Man’s Enemy. I never heard of him. (Generation Gap) Mike engineered his whole costume and make up. He had a friend’s mother sew two pair of jeans together and two shirts. She broke four needles getting those two pair of jeans sewn together. He wore two different pair of shoes; one work boot and one rubber boot. The worst he did, however was to have half of his head shaved off and half of his beard.
The makeup he used was just awful. He mixed glue and caulking, black and brown makeup and red pencil for sores on his head.
He took a very old sports coat and bleached half of it and the other half was original. He got Fran and I involved by trying to find him a solid colored tie that was black or navy blue. We went to four different places, could not find one. We felt like failures! We finally found one but it would not bleach. The whole idea was to have the tie match the shirts and coat.
Mike won the costume contest last year dressed as the Geico Man, and this year the contest had four first place winners. He won again! His was the only one that was original. You could tell most of them came from a costume shop or from the internet.
Mike will never grow up when it comes to Halloween, good for him!
