MEXICAN 4. CALAVERA.
Calavera is representing the more authentic end of the Day of the Dead genre...
The idea of this whole groove is that you paint yourself up like a dead person, with a decorated skull & celebrate the lives of your ancestors in a happy, carefree way. As such this Mexican festival, which takes place at the start of November each year, is one of the most positive global applications of spookery & this category can only grow, year on year.
This is a nice make up job with funny teeth & the cob-webbing is a nice touch. However, next time we see him we are gonna do him a massive favour & pin him down, beat him unconcious, grab a brush & paint his scraggy neck with a bucket of white emulsion… As we have now officially lost our patience with incomplete & inconsistent neck make up, within the context of this competition.
