Day 329 Who Ya Gonna Call? Ghostbusters!

Day 329
More photos I found from our trip to Denver.  I took this photo in the parking lot.  Later I met the owner of the car. There is a "movie car club" in Denver.  I wish I had asked if she could sit in the drivers seat.  Such a cool car!  Below is their Facebook page. Next time Sam is in Denver, we're giving them a holler!

Day 328 Little Devil

Day 328

While visiting Denver a few months ago, my son and fiance took several photos of Sam dressed in various garb.  My son put the flashlight in Sam's ribcage, so it would show through the cape. 
Clever boy-well man now.

Day 327 Julia, Julia, and Sam

Sam was really into the chef idea. Those are my tomatoes and garlic she's fondling.  The apron was a birthday gift from some friends. It has these skeletons that I also have a game with the same images.  It's not in English and there is no box. Anyone know what it is?

Here's a close up of the print from the game:

Day 326 Wig A Wig Wig

Day 326

I saw these fabulous foam wigs at Target...eighteen bucks a piece.  They are designed by Chris March.  They are a bit warm to wear indoors. But what a great way for a trick or treater to stay warm on a cold rainy night.  Sam likes the blonde bombshell version the best. 

Here we are posing together! Haha!

Bob teaches Sam a few dance moves. He said she was very light on her feet. :-)
The T-shirts were given to them by a knife fan who is a deep sea diver.  Bob's mother used to work for the company in Brooklyn who made diving suits back in the 40's. They love their new shirts!

Sam is turning into quite a glamourpuss. She loves the bling, and fancy threads.  She has a closet that reminds me a bit of my wardrobe days in the movies.  Below her outfit waits, as do others in the studio.

Albuquerque has a train restoration society.  They had an open house and Sam got to go up in the 2926 engine, sit on the back of the tender, and ride with Anthony on this work cart (I don't know what they call it.)  Check out their website, and if you're local go see this powerful locomotive.

Day 318 Sam 2 Travels Home

Day 318

I couldn't leave Sam 2 behind.  I had many suggestions on how to end my relationship with her...but none would do.  Shipping her would be over 300 euros, so on the plane she went.  I had her shrink wrapped at the airport because he box was not too sturdy. 
We flew through Salt Lake City on our way home.  The TSA did their usual inept security screening of a plastic skeleton.  This held her up, and she did not make the plane to Albuquerque.  Delta found her the next day, and she arrived 24 hours after we did. 
If you are reading every day, here is this 2nd identical skeleton's plot line.  They were twins separated at birth, and now reunited.  She will need a name, and a stand. I left the cast iron one behind for weight reasons. So for now, she can only sit.
As I head down the final stretch of this 365 project many great things are happening.   Costco published a picture in their October magazine.  As photos are published, I will let you know.

Day 317 Good Bye Paris

Day 317

copyright 2013 polkadot magpie

Waiting for the sun to set from Trocadero Plaza (that we were politely asked to leave) Sam met many friends.  Lots of people ask to take a photo with her.  Then they try and pay me, as if we were street performers.  Haha, right? 
The people walking around Paris were very welcoming to Sam.  Below I posted some of the pictures of those that I also took their pictures.

Thanks to all the people we met on the street.  Sam sends her boney love to you!

Day 316 Eight Days in Paris

Day 316
I have so many great photos of Sam and the Eiffel Tour, that I had to post several.  When I was setting up the night shots at the Plaza Trocodero we were approached by 2 security guards to said Sam was not allowed there.  We explained the project to them.  They were very gracious, and said to move down and over where they couldn't see us, and continue to work.  Pretty nice. Better than the guards at the Colosseum were. 

They also told us that there are no tripods allowed in Paris.  Really?  Why? Well one must have a permit....65 Euros for amateur photographers. In a city as beautiful as Paris, I guess they have decided to capitalize by charging tourists for their beauty. 

At 8pm the Eiffel Tour lights up with a light display, and ever hour after that on the hour the flashing light show starts for one minute.  Magical.

Day 314 Eight Days in Paris

Day 314

Those of you who have been to Paris know how insane driving around the Arc de Triomphe can be.  The Champs Elysees is the super highway cramped into a six lane road with stoplights, tourists, city buses, tour buses, trucks, and a sprinkle of road rage. 
I had to stand on the island with the stop light as vehicles sped by us to get this shot.  I could feel a breeze from every one of them.  They shook Sam's bones. This was probably the most dangerous shot I have taken during this project.
