Walkabout

the sunglasses went on first. thats for sure

the wig followed shortly after

the wristband wrapped around and buckled.

the lanyard was hooked to the belt

and then lastly, the top hat.

Its Halloween, and i'm slash.



we did the walkabout today. not much of one. more like a 'travelling' than a walkabout.

[dapper]

Started from the usual friday night rendezvous point, had dinner. i then geared up and we all left for one fullerton. i was slash. keith was chris martin, kenneth went as the guy who doesn't want to dress up, and huiwen was 'the only girl in her class who knew what "dapper" meant. or the girl that turned "dapper" into a seemingly foreign word'.

Was pretty fun, but it kinda sucks that not many Singaporeans about don't seem to appreciate halloween. or maybe that all of them got invited to parties.. ah well. one guy did recognize me, or rather... acknowledged... that he recognized me. he turned at me and said...

"Hey Axl!" and \m/ed

i just said "Hey!" and \m/ed back.

at least he tried. lol.

HAT UPDATE

Lets follow up.

STAGE 3: Coloring and Texturing

No Text, lazy, haha.



AND THE SMALL ONE:

Top Hat

If any of you have ever tried doing slash for halloween, on a budget, you'd know how hard it is to find a suitable tophat. that flare at the top, the nice bendy up rim thing, and the conchos, well. i got fed up of searching. so i decided to make my own. with some metal wire and lots of duct tape.

so. i drafted 4 stages

STAGE ONE: Framework



here you can see the wig that dad got from the states [thanks dad!], and the frame of the hat coming to shape. i used 3 rings of wire, started from a base ring, then made 8 slightly bent struts jutting out. it was messy at first, then i added another smaller ring, to hold it in the center. then it started to take shape. the final ring made it rigid, and made it stop looking like a crown. all held together by tape.

here i cheated a little. that styrofoam crown you see was originally meant only for measurement and forming. then i decided to stick the metal 'tube' onto it, turning it into the rim of the hat. how's it look? haha

so i brought all that, the wig, the hat, the accessories, down for friday night starbucks, where we wore it most the night. haha

STAGE 2: Covering



so here i added more tape to the inside, to cover it up in a complete layer, excluding the top. i intend to get black tape, maybe electrical tape to texture the outer layer. so now the outside is sticky and ugly. just wait and see. but first, hat with wig:



so thats where it is right now. tomorrow i'll move on to stage three, texturing and coloring, and then stage 4, final touches.

anyway there's this too:

then WAAY Later:

The Rich Just Don't Get It

"Okay go get what you want. Hurry. I have a dinner appointment."

"Yes, father,"

The boy walked across the showroom.



"Isn't it beautiful?"

"What, the black beauty? Dude, you've been staring at it for months. When are you gonna get it?"

"I don't know man. I've got cash flow issues."

One of a group of college students reached out to grab the guitar. He sat down and strummed a few chords. He took his pick out of his back pocket and started belting out improvised solos and a few Guns and Roses covers.

"Sigh… $950... One day. One day, baby, you will be mine."



The boy at the other end of the room gazed into the Gibson LE room. Shortly joined by his father.

"That one looks nice, father."

"Huh. Go get someone to help."

And the boy wandered off.



The students had drifted behind to the acoustic section. They were now having a sort of mini jam session. It was all in good heart. Acoustic covers and random chords. The air of creativity and friendship.

"Hey, you're thinking of getting into guitar right? This is a good one to start out with. Its cheap, its easy to use, and it has everything you need to start"

"How much is it?"

"Err. Lets see. Where's the price tag…"



The father was standing outside the custom shop, looking at the Slash Limited Edition Studio Les Paul. He looked back at the kid. He was coming back with a sales manager.

"Which one?"

"This one, father"

"How much is it?"

The salesperson came in at this point;

"This is one of Gibson's Limited Edition Slash series of Les Pauls. It comes in at $4,500"



"Ah. Found it. Er. Its $450."

"Shit that's quite a bit isn't it?"



"$4,500? That’s not so bad. Why don't you try it out?"

"But...?"

"Go try it out."

"Yes, Father."

The Salesperson hooked it up to a nearby amp and the kid started to play some simple scales.

He then played a very rough cover of Guns and Roses' Knockin' on Heaven's Door.



"Shush! Stop strumming!"

"What? Why?"

"Do you hear that?"

"What?"

"Knocking on heaven's door!"

"Huh?"

"Just come on!"

And they rushed out to see the kid play.



The sound of the high-quality guitar attracted the patrons to the source. Really quickly, a small crowd was forming.

The boy started to get nervous. He knew his playing was sub-par. He did not enjoy it at all.

"Alright, I'm getting it. Where's the lady?"

"She's behind there, father."

"Go get her."

"She's already coming."



"Oh my god."

"What?"

"That's the Slash Custom!"

"Oh…"

"AND ITS A GIBSON!"
