Last Night/First Night

Last night Hubby Tony and I went to our city's First Night celebration.  Over the course of six hours we watched performances at five different indoor venues, and saw parts of several others at outdoor stages as we were walking from one place to another.  When the last show ended at 11:30 we made our way to the main stage where a video DJ was playing.  We danced (which turned into swaying in place as the area got more and more crowded) until midnight, then watched a fireworks display.

Before our first concert, though, we stood in line to get our faces decorated, something I've always wanted to do.  The airbrush artists used templates and stencils to create unique art on each person's face.  This was mine:

    1. Took some scrubbing with a shower puff. Thought I had it all off last night, but found some under my jaw bone this morning. Fortunately it was before I left the house.

  2. Oh what fun! I'm so happy to finally get to see what you look like, even with the face art. My granddaughter had a bit of a problem getting face paint off her face at Halloween. I suggested baby oil or make up remover and it worked perfectly. Happy New Year, Kathy!

    1. It WAS a lot of fun.

      It's been so long since I've worn real makeup; but even if I'd remembered there wasn't any baby oil or makeup remover in the house. However, my skin is used to the scrubbie so it wasn't an issue.

  3. What great fun you had. Love the face paint. We have a dear friend who does this as a street ministry.

    1. If I had any artistic talent I think being a street artist would be interesting.

  5. Like the artwork! I use a little baking soda mixed with facesoap for a good deep clean once a week. Met a friend of yours .... Dana. She dropped by to meet me just the other day!

    1. I know a couple of Danas--wonder which one it was? Every time I drive to Columbia I say I'm going to stop by the kampground and say hello, but when push comes to shove I'm running late and don't have time. Someday...
