I made this mask and costume over two years and I am so excited to finally have pictures of it thanks to a close friend who took these amazing shots! <3
This costume and images have been sitting in my brain so long I'm so happy to have them out in the world~

Okokok so! I have a small snippet of an article that I am currently working on for the Newsies Halloween 2024 pape. This is just a very small part of one article I haven't thoroughly edited it yet, but I decided to post it here just to (1) show that I actually am working on the paper (I'm just trying to take my time editing it) and (2) just to ask for general feedback on what could be added to this section!
**
Who Were The Newsies?
Up until the 1900's, young boys and girls would hawk at street corners, waving the daily newspaper high above their heads, desperately trying to sell them for two cents per paper, these were known as newsies. Throughout history, these poor children (often no older than thirteen) were frequently mistreated by the upper-class members of society, including their own employers. The papers were often overpriced and the newsies were forced to lie their way into selling papers if there wasn't a truthful headline they could shout into the streets.
The newsies would often go on strike in an attempt to receuve better pay or treatment. But, the owners of the various papers paid them no heed as they assumed that within a few days the newsies would realise that their lack of work equated to less money to afford shelter and food. But there was one strike that didn't proceed as anticipated and changed the course of history forever.

I will also talk about the strike of course but I just decided ro put this up just for feedback! :D
(And I am truly sorry it is taking quite a while to finish all the writing x)
