Going to the football? Here, let me sort you out.
Here’s me on Australia Day in 2009 – we had an excellent party in the hostel that year, all down to other resident redhead Aussie at the time – Ken – who paid outstanding attention to detail and got in everyone’s favourite Australian delicacies (Toffee Apples, Milo, Chicos, Cherry Ripes, Burger Rings – you name it).
Anyway – these flags are all done with cream makeup/facepaint that’s available on eBay for a couple of bucks per tube. Not sure if you can see on my blue face but it’s flaking to buggery – maybe I had it on too thick? Or maybe it was a dud batch of paint. The blue corner of the South African flag on Alewyn’s face suffered the same fate, while the rest of the facepaint lasted pretty well (not only on his face, but everyone else’s who came within smearing distance!)
And Dos Tonis, getting ready to celebrate LOUDLY for the World Cup in 2010 (?? – is it every four years like the Olympics??)
I’m not sure what was going on with Chloe’s makeup here; from memory we were at a dress up party (Morgan’s birthday?) and at the last minute hastily threw together her costume; I think she was a flag. The dress she’s in was a floor length stripey beach-ball number and her face was just painted with the colours I had to hand that kind-of matched. Heehee. That was the day I first had my hair cut into a mullet (April or May 2012) by Oban’s one and only Karlos; it has since gone from strength to strength (in length).
Anyway. Not an official flag according to the UN, but still.
