January 17 - Loopy Mouze

"The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing."

~ Walt Disney

I don't really care to get my picture taken with a Disney or any other character in those photo opportunities.  I find it hard to get enthusiastic because brain doesn't say "OMG MICKEY!!!", it says "oh hey, a Mickey costume".   

Still -- you have to fake it.  Like in a haunted house, if you don't suspend that disbelief and scream a little, you might as well have stayed at home.

The absolute worst though is when they force you to interact with them.  I took one of my sons to a Kylo Ren meet and greet, and as soon as the doors shut with us he started hard pressing "Do you swear allegiance to the First Order!?  DO YOU?"   Uncomfortable improv moment.

I have invested in reading so many of the 30+ years of Star Wars books, my guilty pleasure, that I DO have some pretty strong words to say on the subject.  Disney trashed some crazy amount of books, amazing canon that was a universe being carefully maintained by a team of experts who cared about the universe more than how they could market that universe.   Honestly a travesty to art and storytelling.

So I said - "uhhhh .. I ... ... sure?"   whomp whomp.

I included the version I built the day after watching the Loopy Headz video.  They're incomplete, and I didn't realize it until I looked through the resources that were included in the video.   I had thought the eyes might look better outlined against the blush and can confidently say that I immediately regretted it about 1/4 semi circle in ... I kind of feel like you only really need to outline an eye if you're not going to color it white (or you're on a white balloon).
