Anyone dressing as Vinnie for Halloween?

Hey guys. I play in a cover band in Denver and were playing a bar Friday night. In honor of Vinnie's return, I'm planning on putting on the Ankh Warrior make up and see if anyone recognizes it. Maybe I'll even make a contest out of it or something. (free drinks on me!) I'll post some pics afterwards. Has anyone else ever tried to do the Ankh Warrior make up before?

Wow, that looks great. I can only hope to come close to that my first time. I may re-watch Gene's tutorial with his daughter before I do it.

Just remember, the liquid gold makeup needs to be reapplied after powdering the first layer. The same with the black.

Here was my attempt at dressing up like VV for a Halloween gig this weekend. The makeup I bought was cheapo stuff from Walmart so doesn't look that great. Wig was too big, also. But, it was a lot of fun! And, the few people who knew it was VV got really excited. :) Oh and my main ax just happens to be a red strat with white pick guard like V's! Image

Thanks everyone. I actually had the Ankh Warrior neck band and guitar strap going on the but the big ass wig covered it up (look more like Tom Araya of Slayer.) Really had no way of making the Ankh Warrior vest so instead opted for over-sized Ankh necklace to compensate. I think the knee cover things really worked, though. They were cuts of notebooks covered in tin foil and held to my pants with rubber bands and safety pins. Not the greatest but everyone got a kick out of it that night.

Thanks! My eyes are actually gray with a bit of green around the pupil majority of the time; but sometimes they can look like a off green color.

yes, in this pic probably the camera was influenced by the light and the makeup.Thanks for pointing that:)

My friend and I at Dragoncon a few months ago in Atlanta...pretty good considering neither of us ever put on Eric or Vinnie makeup before and we had like 20 minutes to do it while sitting in her car
