Mystery Visitors

Whenever I log onto my website to edit a page or add a blog post I always take a look at the analytics on how many people have visited my site and what pages they are looking at. (I just use the Weebly provided interface, not Google analytics, though I have heard good things about it if you want a more in-depth understanding of how traffic comes to and moves around your site.) Well, normally I average somewhere between 100-200 total page visits a day for artandrhinos.com.

This was one of my simpler cosplays. The top was the only self created part of the costume. I purchased the pants from an Army/Navy store and I found the boots at Goodwill. Make-up is a mix of Kat Von D and Clinique.

For the top, I wanted to take the basic design from the movie (and in the Comics) and make it more casual than a true recreation of what is seen on film.  I made it from a cotton sateen rather than leather, because I live in Florida and I want to be able to wear this and not sweat profusely.

    I'm a zoo keeper. I currently work with Rhinos and it is awesome.

    These are my random observations about the world...and I do mean random.  I write about what catches my interest and my imagination. 

    Just as a note: There is the possibility of the occasional curse word. I will not overuse - but those words have power when carefully placed.

To become truly immortal, a work of art must escape all human limits: logic and common sense will only interfere. But once these barriers are broken, it will enter the realms of childhood visions and dreams. ::: Giorgio de Chirico :::
