E-Z OFF Make-up Sticks

Here's a fun Halloween left-over highlighted with some groovy backing card illustrations. And made by Topstone too, famous, --as some of you already know-- as the maker's of awesome and affordable masks and other cool costumery from the good 'ol days. I found this thing though at a flea market literally the day before Halloween this year so it had no time to bear any influence upon my 2024 costume. It's just two greasy sticks, one black, one white, which you're supposed to apply to your face in some manner thus producing some sort of affect like a fake beard, snowball cheeks, or raccoon eyes, or whatever. Apparently, it's hilarious. And this, my friends, brings us back to the floaty head illustrations, --just WTH can you do with these E-Z Off sticks to get that weird bald guy affect at the bottom?!

Wonder how well they actually washed off?

I swear I've seen this one before, but I never really looked at the kooky application suggestions before. They are so strange! Just about all of them depict a white... clown chin? Whoever heard of that?

It's kind of amazing. The more I look at it the weirder it gets. Almost like it was made by aliens or AI--or to be absurd, like a Wacky Package--and then somebody slapped it on this real life package anyway.

"Never mind, Mom---I found an aerosol can with the same name under the sink." [sprays in face]

They missed the best application of all -- paint in hair for the bald guy!
