When Mom's Away, Spooky Tigers Come Out To Play

So . . .yeah. This is what happens when daddy watches the kid while Mom's away. Yesterday was a busy day in the city starting off with the annual AIDS Walk New York with around 45,000 in Central Park, followed by a BMS afterparty at the Central Park Zoo. Li'l Boo wanted to actually see all of the animals first - not as interested in the food or activities, but then upon return to the party tent, he himself requested a "spooky" face.

Now let me stop you right there becaue if I'd have been with Li'l Boo we would have skipped over the face painting station. I'm generally not a big fan of the activity. It doesn't seem to last very long, and tends to wind up getting wiped off or smeared onto hands, arms and clothes. However, when c2cDad emailed me a pic of this scary tiger while I was at the SV Moms party on Sunday, I laughed out loud. It looked fantastic, and lasted until they met up with me two hours later, and better still, lasted well enough for us to Skype with both sets of grandparents to surprise them with his colorful face at the end of the day.

Come to find out my Li'l Boo and c2cDad actually walked down 5th Ave to FAO Schwarz after the zoo to pass the last hour while they waited for me to head home to Jersey. They were getting looks and getting stopped along the way by passerbys asking where his face was painted. So Li'l Boo was actually prowling NYC like this on Sunday afternoon. Lol! He just loved it. I have to admit that I loved it too. I also loved that it came off easily with water in the bath.

The name of the company that did this to Li'l Boo is Agostino Arts where they specialize in "transformation facepainting." We thought it's pretty cool. Oh, and they do parties and events . . .seriously, check out some other faces on their site. It's CRAZY!
