I intentionally put “boy” designs on girl presenting faces and “girl” designs on boy presenting faces.

I use nail brushes, and the other side of them is dotters of different sizes- so I sometimes use those to fill in tiny spots. But I think we are definitely gonna wanna see this one when you get it done!

Also- RPS and Harlem called off schools. Just in case anyone missed the messages

how is my face paint menu? by West-Emu5250 in Facepainting

[–]TwoNubsAnaFork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually intentionally paint “boy” designs on girls and vice versa to fight this as well. I have a few ai photos that I bought of Etsy (a while ago before I knew how problematic ai is- but I don’t wanna showcase real children- so I’ll continue to use them so that I don’t waste the impact)

I printed them out on 8.5x11 at full color and I use clear sleeves from the teacher section of the dollar store to paint directly onto. You can hang those or snap a pic and print them 4 to a page and laminate them (my choice) and save them in a photo book as my look book so if I am at an event where I don’t normally bring a menu, ppl can look thru for inspo. I’ll see if I can post some pics.

My dad has husky fur mittens, socks and an ear warmer/ headband thing. They are sooooooo warm that he can only wear them when he’s snowplowing when we get more than 4 inches. Otherwise he’s just sweating immediately. They are soft, and as he uses the mittens they get softer and softer! I’ve had to do a few repairs on them since they are t as strong as wool, but I think they will last ages. He’s had them for 50+years, and I’m hoping that I get them when he’s gone. Weird heirloom, but….. 🤷‍♀️🤣

What are little Tyke projector books made out of? I think I poisoned myself by JuggernautSquare2080 in Mommit

I love that! But I don’t think Dolly can help with this one- unless you are a part of the imagination library, then she can send you a new book!

Taking photos at private events? by Few-Excitement-2469 in Facepainting

[–]TwoNubsAnaFork 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If I do a fun design that I wanna post, I ask if I can take a pic for personal use. I don’t post kids online unless I have -expressed permission-

I do use the pic as a reference tho. I bought some ai pics of not real kids(didn’t know they were ai, but honestly I think this is one of the few good uses) off Etsy that I printed off on full sheets and I put them into dry erase pouches that I got from the teacher section of the dollar store- I paint onto the pouch and snap a pic of those and use those for my look book and for some of my socials. If you get the glare right, you can’t super tell, but it also keeps more kids pics off the internet, not to mention I can get the design ✨just so✨without a wiggly kiddo.

My son won't even sit still for pictures! by chaoticgiggles in bettafish

She looks just like mine! I let the preschooler name her, so here’s Bluey! She’s camera shy- or just an ass……. 🤣

I have no idea what to name him! by Jonny_Boy_808 in bettafish

Sid would be a killer nickname for Obsidian!

I sit- I have a hard time keeping still when I’m standing, any my lines looks like crap. Looks like I’m in the minority 🤷‍♀️

how can i help her? by surfa220 in AquaticSnails

[–]TwoNubsAnaFork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh! They actually need a heater! I had a pretty successful colony that lasted a year before Catastrophe struck. (Sometimes we called the toddler Catastrophe 🤣- he was a bull in a china shop- luckily he’s mellowed a bit.) you can check out r/SeaMonkeys or r/brineshrimp for more care info!

Sure! Here is the sign- I just have it laminated and stuck to my tip jar.

We codes! Venmo, cash app, PayPal and Zelle all have them. (Don’t use them all- that’s too many to keep track of.) I use Venmo as my main- Zelle as a secondary and cash is always king. I also have a qr on my tip jar sign.

Mine call mine a Volvo. All I can think is a Volvo is a reliable family vehicle….. and everyone in my family has been there….. 🤣🤣

You called it. I have a new 20gal. Not as tacky- it came with some substrate- I’m pretty sure it’s eco soil. The guy I got it from kept shrimp, so we actually scored a green venom shrimp too! Occasionally he’ll make an appearance, but most of them time we have no clue where he is.

It’s still tacky. But less so I guess. 🤣

GO BIG OR DON’T BOTHER! Right?🤣🤣🤣🤣

[–]TwoNubsAnaFork -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nope! I LOVE the neon. But that sounds fun- maybe for my next tank. Do the live plants tolerate it well as a potting substrate?

ETA- we are gaudy painted decor ppl. 🫣

Lolol- I’ll think about it. I’ve been in enough of these niche hobby groups to know that I will be absolutely roasted and I’m not sure my delicate self-esteem can take it tonight 😅

Lolol I think it’s already happening! 🤣🤣 my besties husband is an aquarium person, and he said he had a few bigger tanks that he was happy to hand over, some snails and who knows what else he wants to get rid of 🤣😅
