Marlos' Costuming and Bodypainting

Hallowe'en 1998

      This Hallowe'en, the Toronto Furries held a costume party in the ballroom at Terry Wessner's apartment building. For a few hours beforehand, I ran a face and bodypainting session for those who wanted to get painted up. I only painted my face since I was going to wear my full costume. Spatter was done as a serval, Kindar as a tiger (by Benjamin), Bohor as a lion, Pantheris as a tiger, P.Pardus as a leopard (self), and Librem as an otter (by Vandrigar). All other costumes were the works of those people wearing them. No costume rentals here, folks; these are the real deal.

      These several of these images are my own, though many were taken by StarWolf and Bungee. Those done by Starwolf all have 's_' at the start of the file name. All those by Bungee are titled 'Image##.jpg' files. My thanks again to them for allowing me the used of the images.
