Cool Tattoo Papa Smurf Costume

Happy Halloween to all: Choosing a costume for my preferred time of the 12 months did no longer come effortless this year. Many innovative costume ideas crossed my mind,but, Papa we have a problem, you have a full white beard on your face, and no intentions having it cut. "LOL".

Idea: On a sunny afternoon as I squeezed the blue Alberto VO5 hairdressing for gray/white hair onto the palm of my hand to groom my beard "VOILA!" Papa Smurf was born. It was at that moment I knew I wanted a Smurf with a twist, a Papa with Tattoos, a cool Papa.

Creation: Black Army Jump Boots a contribution mailed to me from my pal former U.S Army Paratrooper, Robbie Toomey. Red compression pants a contribution from childhood buddy Avelino Velez. The Tattoos effect on the blue compression shirt I made via first drawing tribal designs on posterboard, positioning in between the shirt then tracing with screen print ink, this and the Mehron Blue Cream make-up was the hardest part for me. The white eyebrows I purchased on ebay.
The Colorful Smurf Necklace: On a quiet starry night out for a walk in the neighborhood, I come across a toy for children with colorful wood balls and alphabets on the curb for trash pick-up the next day. "Hmmmm" I can disassemble this toy and make a necklace out of the letters spelling the word S.M.U.R.F. Wow, I really like it! Everything else is history.
The Smurf Hat: Purchased online from JoannaBananaHats Etsy store
My Outing: Initial graph was to attend The NYC Halloween Parade, on the other hand after carefully giving it thought, the crowd, the virus, the flu, the hassle, I decided to stay local and it grew to become a very joyful experience.

Reactions: Making my rounds about town the bursts of laughter grew louder and louder. Adults and teenagers alike knew Papa Smurf and excited to see a cartoon character from the past on Halloween day.

Thank you, Papa Andre Smurf
