My super talented friend Janette hand crafted this awesome costume of our favorite little wooden boy for her son! These are some photos on their trip to Disneyland. As you can see in the above photo, she even made the marionette piece so he really is a puppet!
Her son broke free of the strings and found comfort in a cast member at The Princess Fantasy Faire!
And of course all the Disney Princesses couldn't help themselves with Pinocchio being right there!
He's become a real boy! And off he goes!
I hope you enjoyed these great photos of Pinocchio in The Disneyland Resort! I will bring Janette and her amazing work back with her next costume she created for her son! Something to do with a huge upcoming Disney movie! Look forward to it soon!
Taking some photos of each of the statues around The Partners Statue in the hub of Disneyland.
Pinocchio and Jiminy look perfect with The Matterhorn behind them.
Dumbo and Timothy look like they want to fly into Tomorrowland.
Minnie has dreams of the being a princess one day, especially with Sleeping Beauty Castle in the background.
Donald Duck looks like he has an egg or a white sphere in his hand like he is ready to perform magic in front of the castle.
Chip and Dale came down from their tree to greet the folks.
The White Rabbit is late as he heads out of Frontierland for a very important date.
Goofy looks as if he is lost or thinking deep thoughts.
Pluto looks as happy as ever and a perfect way to end this photo tour of the statues around The Partners Statue in Disneyland.
Hope you enjoyed the photos! If there is anything you want to see I am happy to head to the park to take those photos for you and to share stories and the history.
Pinocchio and all the other bad little boys were taken to Pleasure Island where they were able to do anything they wanted including smoking! Really freak people out when they see you eating the ash!
Remove the black oreo shells from the creamy filling and put them in a dehydrator (or just bake them on a really low setting for a while). The goal is to get the cookies to crumble into a dry powder instead of the slightly moist cookie they start out as.
Then, put the cookies in a mortar and pestle and break them down. Sift them into a bowl.
Sift the powdered sugar on top and stir a little. You want patches of black and white here and there.
break some candy cigarettes in half and burn the ends with a lighter.
Moisten the ends and "put them out" in the ash. The ash should stick to the moistened ends.
You can also:
Color the ends with food color to make them look more like butts.
Actually put it in ashtrays (I'll look at Goodwill)
