Halloween ‘09! So fun!
I have no idea how I came up with this one. I have been really into conjoined twins this past year, I think the TLC documentary on the Hensel twins may have started the obsession. I was inspired by the Hilton Sisters, Violet and Daisy as well as Chang and Eng Bunker. Also I based the look of the attachment on the movie Brothers of the Head (bunk movie – cool makeup).

We have so much fake tan make-up on it was really gross. Honestly I think this is one of the scariest looks ever. You want to scare people? Forget fake blood, try a heavy hand with the bronzer brush.

The trick to this costume is that we can separate whenever we want, ripping apart from each other by use of velcro and illustrated with strings that look like tendons and veins. I used pink instead of blood red to keep up the Barbie theme, and try and soften the gore effect. I used almost identical production techniques as I have in past years, making this a fairly simple project. The only difference is that I used a Urethane rubber coating on top of the foam attachment to give it a more realistic texture.

Enjoy!
