Pun intended. You perv.

So every December we Fine Arts students of UP Cebu hold this event called Mindworks.  Part of this program are the Costume Parade, Street Painting and Performance Night. It's basically an avenue for creative expression of all forms, in line with a certain theme.

(Last last year, we went as shadows, with all black body paint and freaked out everyone with us in the jeepney.)

In the most recent December, our theme was Bangongot, meaning Nightmare; cause we look like nightmares everyday.  

HAHAHA. Ofcourse not. 

"Bangongot" to raise awareness on the recent tragic nightmares (earthquakes and a super typhoon)  that struck the Philippines. 

Being the usual vain divas that we are, we were determined to have a themed costume even with our busy schedule and limited funds. So we had to conjure up a look that was inexpensive, quick but eye-catching.

And voila! what makes a bigger statement than in-yo-face-HORNS. + no eyebrows makeup. 

And ofcourse divas never dress up if there aren't any pictures. HAHAHA

Having photographer friends is also very convenient. haha

Happy Weekend Bitches!

Will be posting a DIY on these horns soon.

Ordinary day noh?

                     

 

hala ka diha

Or not.

It was the day of the fine arts crazy costume parade. Everyone from the art dept. got the chance to wear crazy costumes and walk around school. The theme was "Pasikat" meaning to show-off.

Yes, the one in the bra far left is a guy

Since some of my friends and I are such divas, we first opted for the craziest costume that was sure to turn heads -- All Gold Body Paint.

IMAGINE HOW GLORIOUS THAT WOULD LOOK. 

Pero crisis naman karun panahona black nalang kay naay black na tube ug leggings, makatipid tas pintal. 

So black paint nalang because its cheaper. Our goal then shifted to SCARE & IMPRESS. #insert evil laugh  (But actually, as i was looking through this one photo of me, i kinda ended up scaring myself. how lame)

At first, we wore wigs for total CRAZY costume effect

 I really wanted to take shitbrix looking shots but we resisted the urge to smile since black paint makes our teeth look horribly yellow (er than it already is..jk)

For the betches, here are yo solos.

Andrea

Edited the eyes, mystique lang teh 

Kirsten

Mystique din si ate.

 And a little bit of me... :3

Please appreciate my effort to look dramatic.

Took the wigs off last minute to look more serious and emotional. 

I was laughing here so I cropped myself out 

 Y 2 U SO HOT?!?!

During the parade, some kids even asked for our picture! hehe *so flattered* fans self*

 And to make this post even more self-absorbed, some teachers and friends even commented

"hala kagwapa bsag gi itoman" 

translated: they look beautiful even when covered in black paint

AAAHHHH I AM SO HAPPY. 

I REFUSE TO BELIEVE OTHERWISE.

haha. :) 

So we went home looking like this....

In public transportation.

Wasn't kidding.

 It was actually fun though, the people riding with us in the jeepney were really kind.

A nice kuya took our picture.

And some uncles asked us many questions about the paint and what event. (Very funny they thought at first it was charcoal) They immediately guessed we were from UP.

It looked even scarier with the paint chipping off.

Please say you still love me.

And when we got off, there was still a 5-minute walk to the house. We received more amused/scared/in-awe faces from the locals. And another random manong said we still looked pretty. HAHAHA *embarrassed*
