got to go on this bus earlier, which i remember from childhood. one of the posters has a dundee phone number with only 5 digits and one has one with 6, meaning the two posters straddle the 1995 phoneday change, but i feel like the same buses were in use in the early 90s when you could smoke upstairs
a vintage bus with blue and yellow livery parked on the pavement in front of a building with a dome. to the left of the bus you can see the bow of an old ship and some of its masts view from a seat inside the bus with various signs and laminate faux wood panelling an old, peeling poster inside the bus with a graphic of stacks of coins crossed out and next to them a new, hi tech paper flexi-fare card poster on the ceiling of the bus above the windows in black and yellow with the fares for bus passes and flexi fare cards

selfie from the shoulders up of a white person wearing a yellow top with a pink twine necklace. they have hot pink lipstick and blusher, hot pink eyeshadow with yellow on the lower lash line, and pink tinted eyebrows, and they are wearing large rounded square light light pink glasses. their dark hair is swooped away from their face and they have a fivehead white person in a yellow shirt and lil hot pink twine necklace and pink lipstick but dominating the photo is an evidently home made mask with large compound eyes made of giant bubble wrap with a black electrical tape overlay. the top of the mask is pink cardboard, with yellow paper antennae white person photographed from behind wearing home made pink and yellow articulated cardboard wings, with a yellow tube skirt with a grid print and pink tights

if horror movie cats are not your thing, how about skulls in art, on which people surprisingly did better (the punters are often art students & graduates but always do badly on both arts and literature rounds 🥴😵‍💫😵)
1 point for artist 1 point for title (titles are worth guessing if you don't know)
5 artworks 1. an oil on canvas painting of an animal skull with horns; on its head and in front of its nose are white fabric roses, and behind these are some off-white material and a dark brown stripe 2. an iris printed work on paper. a woman with a messy bob sits on the floor wearing jeans, trainers and a large brown coat. she looks directly at the viewer, and in front of her on the bare floorboards is a human skull 3. a cast of a human skull encrusted with diamonds, viewed from the front 4. a painting of a woman with a monobrow and a long neck. the background is of various leaves, and in the middle of the subject's forehead is a small circle containing a skull. she is making eye contact with the viewer 5. a sextych(?!) of 6 identical screenprints of skulls facing left with different acrylic paint overlays in bold colours two artworks 6. Renaissance style oil painting. two men in lavish 1500s garb stand on each side of the canvas. on shelves between them we can see various technical, navigational and musical instruments including a globe and a lute. behind them is a green damask curtain, and above the marble floor between the men there is a strange, extremely skewed, forced perspective skull 7. acrylic and oil collage on paper. against background of rough mark-making dominated by light pink with dashes of green, yellow, blue, white and black, a skeletal figure emerges in red with scribbly white and black lines making up its features

2/2
four film stills 7. a frame from a stop motion film. a black cat with large green eyes and a quizzical expression is at the front of the frame, and behind it is a barren landscape of browns and dead trees 8. someone in a brown coat and black leather gloves holds a kitten in front of a cash machine 9. left of frame, a thin woman with dark hair holds a fluffy cat in a doorway. at the front of the frame on the right, slightly out of focus, is another thin woman with lighter brown hair wearing a mint green uniform and looking at the other woman. some phials are visible on the table in front of her. 10. a monstrous half brown cat/half human CGI creature who appears to be wearing a fur coat. she looks pensive, a few similar creatures are just visible in the background

people in the pub did not do very well on my quiz round of horror movie cats but i assume there's some nerds on here who will vindicate my choices. it was 1 point for the film and 1 for the cat's name (not applicable to 1, 5, 7, 8 where the cats are unnamed or credited as The Cat) 1/2
6 film stills 1. in black and white, a woman wearing a white top with black stripes and a long black cloak/veil/scarf holds a tabby and white cat while making eye contact with the camera 2. a somewhat stiff and so obviously fake black cat sits on a grave whose headstone reads "Emily Binx" 3. a ginger cat is lying on the floor to the left of frame; behind it out of focus we see various grey equipment, cables/pipes, some green electronic panels, and some windows up high 4. in slightly soft focus, a very fluffy white cat has a lo-fi effect applied so it has green glowing eyes. it is sitting on top of a goldfish bowl 5. a fat man with two dogs is leaving Davidson's Pet Shop at the same time as a woman in a black skirt suit and heels is entering, seen from behind. she has blonde hair in a chignon. there are kittens in the pet shop window. two other people in hats are looking into the other window, which has a large branch in it 6. a woman with dark shoulder length hair and a sharp fringe is holding a black cat and making a kissy face at it. she is wearing black and the camera angle is slightly from below, emphasising her height

it’s giving “I don’t have the money to buy anything for an actual costume and i also have depression and furthermore i have precisely one hour to get ready for the halloween event i am hosting”
white person in spooky makeup. I have dark curly hair that’s pinned back at the sides but I have a fringe so in this pic it looks like a mullet. black eyeshadow leading into cobweb eyeliner, green lower liner and heavy purple dark shadows under the eyes, heavy blush/contour, slightly extended bow lips in a sort of claret colour. you can just about see the puff of a black/pink denim sleeve next to a black bra strap, but the main focal point of the bottom part of the photo is a black corvid necklace on a black chain.

got a tattoo earlier and once again it basically looks instantly healed
white person’s forearm with a small black linework tattoo near the wrist which from this (my) perspective is an upside down woman’s head partially submerged in water

got upsold on the jewellery and misunderstood how much more it was but they are cute so i will somewhat less begrudge frantically rebalancing my budget to cover the difference
side of a white person’s face; they are wearing a small braided gold hoop earring and a small golden bee earring next to it, and the ear is a little red around that one

great bit to hang a rothko and explicitly say it’s meant to be viewed close up then have a barrier 3 feet away from it so you can’t have it take up your whole field of vision as intended

Kisa does not really come into my bedroom any more (i think increasing damp is
putting her off) and i rarely leave because i love inhaling spores i guess so i haven’t posted much of her in a while. well today i’m in the living room
calico cat on a soft and sagging old beige settee, in a loaf position apart from one front leg casually outstretched. she’s looking just past the camera at me as i take the pic, the bottom third of which is taken up by the red blanket i’m using. behind her is a graphic print cushion and some general life clutter
