tripperfunsterOh God, oh God, oh God, I'm so excited! Only one more week!!!
In preparation, my team is making silly 'training' photos, so I took these.
Each year they've had the teams make some sort of sculpture out of sanitary napkins and tampons. I took the human ones first, but then thought the latex horse head would add some class to it.
The caption reads: Due to a near catastrophic failure in adhesion last hunt, the Vatican Cameos has hired an independent lab to field test the strength, absorbency, wind resistance and flavour of 1300 different brands of feminine protection. In the race for quality, there is no finish line.

Last year Ibegged and threatened asked nicely for Marta and her children to pose with fake moustaches outside of the Dali museum in Spain. Any other international peeps willing to sully themselves for my team????

Date: 2014-07-26 01:37 am (UTC)I bought it right before the hunt last year, because I thought I'd need it. I didn't, but ended up using it anyway, because LATEX HORSEHEAD!! :D
This year I've pre-made a unicorn horn for my white mini-horse. I'm sure I"ll work it into the hunt somehow!

Date: 2014-07-27 02:00 pm (UTC)I know little to nothing about the geography of the UK (or all of Europe) so you can be sure that I'll be calling on you, even if the task is 1000 miles away. :)
I've been lucky so far. I've 'used' friends from Iceland and Spain, and each time the task was in a reasonable distance from them.
Canada is so ridiculously huge and spread out, that the closest major city to me is a 6 hour drive, and that city is pretty much exactly the same 'lameness' as the one I'm in.
Let's hope small towns feature prominently this year! ;)
