I'm a happy member of the Sundays In My City Community (SIMC) by Unknown Mami. Wanna join? Click HERE.
On the first day of summer vacation from school, Godson and I went to Universal Studios Hollywood for the millionth time. The temps were perfect, the crowds not too big (thanks to the Laker's Basketball Championship Parade elsewhere- Woo-hoo!) and the hair-- well, his hair was WILD-- but, as he assured me, it was clean. Apparently, wild hair is what happens when you wash your hair, don't comb it, and then go directly to bed....
My guy was on a mission and headed directly to the face painting stand. He only does this once a year, but I wasn't so sure baby blue was his color.....
Nor was I crazy about the black eyes.....
When I started to see the direction he was headed....
I thought "his mother is going to kill me"....
By this point, he was starting to draw a crowd....
Whoa....
But under all that paint is the same sweet kid I arrived with....
And let's be honest, it kinda works with the hair!
How's your Sunday?

Creepy, but man, the artist did a great job!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool. I want to get my face painted.
ReplyDeleteI used to hang out at Universal Studios, but before they had the tours. My dad was a film editor there and my uncle was a special effects cameraman.
Cool! Don't you just love kids,their spontaneity and boldness...
ReplyDeleteWhat did you have done? ;)
Have a super Sunday. Greetings from across the pond. xxx

That is just what my boys would have done when they were young...and I would have been the red faced mother walking three paces behind them.
ReplyDeleteOh Joanna, you are such a grand Godmother and your Godson is so adorable (very soon he'll be a teenage heartthrob, if not already). The face paint is cool.
ReplyDeleteAnd Joanna, thank you for highlighting The Sunday Roast. It is quite a woozy feeling to see my name up there at the corner of your blog :) Thank you Joanna and I want you to know that I was impressed with the Sunday Roast because of you.
Oh you're right, that does look cool with the hair. I think it's fabulous that he knew exactly what he wanted!
ReplyDeleteI have to agree as well. The hair is perfect! What a great face painting job!
ReplyDeleteHugs
SueAnn
how cool is he? well done,auntie! xoxoxo
ReplyDelete(sunday in my city would be a parade of church ladies with hats and then lines outside every sunday brunch place!)
This is really fun watching the transformation and it does go nicely with the hair. What did his mom say?
ReplyDeleteToo cool for school!
ReplyDeleteLove It!
OMG -that is the coolest thing, EVER!! I want to do it!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are the best Godmother EVER!!!
Oh my! The face painting is amazing! The hair is a nice accessory.
ReplyDeleteHe did manage to achieve a wild look!
ReplyDeleteI adore his do,.. Love it!
ReplyDeleteVERY creepy cool! That is so neat! Glad you posted pics, that's incredible!
ReplyDeleteCool and creepy! What fun little guy!
ReplyDeletehaha! The first few pictures looked like he was going to be the "Crow" from those movies.
ReplyDeleteThe artist did a great job and his hair was perfect for it. I hope his mom liked it!
ReplyDeleteIt seems like he had a plan and you've got to admire a man with a plan. That last picture is wonderful and it was fun seeing the whole transformation.
ReplyDeleteSimply marvelous! Completely adorable.
ReplyDeleteGreat fun! Terrific ! When the teeth came on, I began to like it more!!
ReplyDeleteThat's amazing! And yes, the hair is perfect; maybe it was intentional?
ReplyDeleteThe artist is quite talented. I'm thinking that you got lots of attention afterward walking around with him. Gotta love boys at that age.
ReplyDeletethe wild hair is perfect with the wild makeup
ReplyDeleteWhat a FUN thing to do! Am sure his mom loved it...unlike the time I took my best friend's daughter to the hairdresser..she had permission from her mom to have purple tips put on her hair...I was getting my hair done also, and was shocked to see her finished "do"....bright purple striped hair...I'm still living that one down, years later! OX
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing how kids all over the world love to have their faces painted!! The painter did an extremely good job!! I love the final result!!
ReplyDeleteIf he's anything like my girls, they never wanted to wash their faces after getting them painted...it just kind of gradually faded away...ick!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool!!!! It was great to see the transformation steps. You are the best to let him do this!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures!
The artist was good - his eyes really stand out! Great facepainting. So what'd YOU get? ;-)
ReplyDeleteNice zombie look. I need to borrow that artist for Halloween!
ReplyDeleteHe looks FIERCE!
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty amazing. There's no way I could do that...that's talent!
ReplyDeleteJJ - I'm so sorry I haven't been on here since I returned home last week; things have been kind of hectic (and a little sad) at the realisation that I'm back.
ReplyDeleteYour nephew looks hideous which means the make-up artist was great! Glad he enjoyed himself and causes a stir with a mini crowd haha x
oh now that is a nice paint job! can you be my aunt? smiles.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely AMAZING! Hope his mother didn't freak out when she saw him again. lol
ReplyDeleteI have to say the hair was enhanced by the face painting.
ReplyDeleteOh my good heavens! That face painting does pair nicely with that wild hair : )
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love teenagers. He is a cutie! I am glad you didn't have insane crowds on the day of your visit. You are the best Godmother ever! I can totally tell!
what a great face - don't know if he is on facebook yet but the last pic would be a good one for it.
ReplyDeleteDon't know how long the vampire thing will be going on with the girls but maybe a dentist would be interested in those teeth.
I love his wild hair.
ReplyDeletea million ~ you deserve a reward!
I remember I used to feel this way about going to the park at the end of the street with my kids when they were young. Day in and day out.
It does look nice with his hair. The artist did a good job and that was an awesome face paint to have.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! He's definitely working that hair...
ReplyDeleteWow, if I was a kid, I'd want my face painted like that too. Love his hair. It reminds me of my youngest. He can get the craziest hair I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteSooo very creepy, just like a boy likes!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh what a great transformation! So not what I was thinking...but very cool!
ReplyDeleteI think the artist is talented, thought he looked pretty cool and a little creepy. how would have loved it.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting face painting job! Cute kid too. --My boys often end up with hair like that in the morning.
ReplyDeleteHey, I look like that every day! :)
ReplyDeletekidding...
That painting is really cool!
How long did it take to create?
Have a great week ahead!
