The surgeon was a fellow student who worked at that same hospital. My instructor was coincidentally a coroner at the time.

Nothing I said was a lie. But the context is important. I was teaching a younger ranked fellow karate student some knife techniques. I blocked her attack, she lost control of her entirely wooden knife, and it flew into my face and struck my lip. There was no blade.

Deep Brenda Lore - 13 yrs ago, I got in a knife fight with another woman and wound up needing 9 stitches on my lip. I was taken to the emergency room by an orthopedic surgeon and the county coroner. (Picture from after the stitches got out for proof)

Picture of Brenda with a healing wound on her upper lip and a bruise on her actual lip.

Finally got to do the Rocky Horror thing at my hometown theater tonight. We had a blast! I threw together a closet cosplay of Frank and tried to make up for the lack of details with body glitter. My friend Jolene had a perfect Columbia costume.

Picture of myself and Jolene as Dr Frank N Furter and Columbia from RHPS.

Closeup of my makeup which i think turned out fantastic.

Philly is the opposite end of the state of Pennsylvania. The state is a long rectangle. It's near PA's boobs. The 'Burgh is under PA's hat (Erie). I live in the vast middle where there's nothing but cows, Amish, and Appalachian mountains.

Brenda Sue @yarnalchemist.bsky.social · 20d

I mean, it's almost in Ohio, but yes, western Pennsylvania.

More importantly, during the Haunted Walk, my mom and Aunties were the Boo Crew at admission and selling raffle tickets. And Buzzy, mom's puppy, wore matching pj's with everyone.

Picture of my "little brother" Buzzy. He's a 3 yr old golden doodle. He's wearing pajamas with ghosts and pumpkins on them while standing next to fall decorations.

My crew of Ghost Pirates for my section of the Haunt this last weekend. I did costumes and makeup for all the if us.

I have survived Haunted Walk weekend. But just barely. My hips have both been awful all summer, so i went to an ortho to see about getting cortisone injections. Surprise, they actually listened and gave them both to me Friday. So yeah, was on my feet for two days straight after that. Not good

TOMORROW, TOMORROW, the Haunted Hike will be TOMORROW! (Fri&Sat7-10pm at Curwensville Lake $5/person, all ages)
Anyways, here's my fav Haunt Character! The year I got to make up my mom &I as broken porcelain dolls. At night, I'm the dark, we looked practically identical. We also sound the same.

My mom & i wearing matching plaid Lolita dresses (hers is navy w/ red &white checks, mine is red w/ green checks). both dresses are from Baby the Stars Shine Bright. We are wearing curly, pigtailed wigs, here's slightly darker than mine. I have done broken doll makeup on us. I am wearing a white out contact in my one eye to imply that my face is smashed.
We are standing, holding hands and using our free hands to hold our skirts out.

A close-up of our broken doll makeup. Our mouths are done up like a ventriloquist dummy. You can see the spiderwebbing cracks in our "porcelain" along with a more detailed shot of the white out "blind" eye.
You can also see how our faces are so very similar to each other.

Only two days left until this year's Haunted Hike at Curwensville Lake. This was my Pestilence character from 2019. I really loved how this came together.

Tuesday's throwback Haunt Character was Moth Ma'am. We did an Appalachian themed Haunt last year. We had a Sasquatch, Moth man, and even a squonk!

Brenda dressed in a black dress, fishnets, a short black wig, and a white butterfly cape. She also has red sunglasses and a pair of feathery antenna on her head.

First up this week for my Haunt characters- Ghost Pirate Captain. I was the distraction character so I wore the white ruffled shirt and my own ginger hair so I was bright and ready to see. With the Haunt being outdoors, actors are basically invisible unless they are in white.

Picture of Brenda dressed up as a Pirate Captain. I'm wearing a white, ruffled blouse with a dark underbust corset showing ample cleavage. My hair is a very bright ginger and I have a pirate hat on. Needless to say, I was very distracting to the patrons of the outdoor Haunt.

Why are girl cats the catty-est cats who ever catted, while boy cats are just weird little himbos?

I think I'm going to share my previous Haunt characters this week in the lead up to the Haunted Walk in Curwensville.
Who should I post first? The Dolls? Moth Ma'am? Pestilence? Ghost Pirates Captain?

I can't unsee this

Meme of Captain America looking down in shame, standing over his dropped shield. The text reads "Captain America is Disappointed in you"

Clearly, they were not as poor a me growing up and only being able to afford generic, dollar store brand acetaminophen and ibuprofen.
