I don't know if you ever watch YouTube makeup tutorials, but there are countless skull makeup ideas there. This guy did a few cool Day of the Dead makeup tutorials:<br /><br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhoFv_HWCN4" rel="nofollow">Mariachi Sugar Skull look</a><br /><br />His videos are always fun to watch. <br /><br />People were snacking on things that were in the bags as they walked along. A little girl came over and gave me some candy out of hers. :) So it appeared to be food and sweets. I'm not sure when everyone got the bags. Some time between the parade starting and ending, everyone seemed to have one. That's an interesting detail for you to notice! I have a feeling that most of the people reading this didn't notice those bags. Having given some away yourself, you'd probably be more likely to notice. <br /><br />I just read a little about St. Joseph altars. So this is a Sicilian Catholic tradition? Did you have your altar at home or at your church? I'm looking at some amazing altar photos right now. There are some really fancy breads in these photos! It looks like bread is a big part of this. I see some photos of brown bags with pictures of the saint on them. Thanks for mentioning your altar, because I just learned something!

This makes me want to do a sugar skull makeup one year ;) I people in a few pictures carrying around small paper bags. It reminded me of the little bags of goodies that we used to give away at our St. Joseph's alter. I was curious if you knew what were in the little bags? I'm assuming that it's some sort of traditional foods or trinkets? Thanks for sharing this lovely parade with us!Countess VonRauber (Heidi)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05880428613360138677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-64282483817795032812014-11-05T18:03:33.448-06:002014-11-05T18:03:33.448-06:00Dex ~ I'm happy to share them!

It was nice to be able to attend the events and have something to share this year since last year the weather got in the way. I ended up with a lot more pictures than usual this time!Justine’s Halloweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04036212957533234176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-65118630891648539882014-11-05T11:57:22.333-06:002014-11-05T11:57:22.333-06:00Thanks for sharing some great pics!Thanks for sharing some great pics!Dexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06438741309061958350noreply@blogger.com
