Alien Antenna Head Bands ARE COOL!

And today...

Wow, we loved this! Here's what @walkerland had to say about the backstory:

This was taken in the 1980's in My Aunt Irene's living room in England. I was around 10 years old. This is my cousin dog Lady, my best friend for many years. Mischa a much smaller dog had to stand in for her. I'm sure you can tell by her photo that she was having SO much fun participating!

I didn't have a radiator so I had to make one up, and had to substitute the sheepskin rug for a seal skin version and I don't have bangs so I had to fold my hair over. I also couldn't find my original alien antenna headband so I had to make one. Fortunately I had all the stuff because you just never know when you'll need a pipe cleaner or sparkly pompom.

We loved how many things you made up in your environment. The sheer amount of replicated details in this pic! Take a look, folks! Alien headband, facial expression, dog remake, all of it was so wonderful!!

Thank you @walkerland for stretching yourself and giving us all a good laugh! I used to love "alien" type things when I was young, too (who am I kidding?! I still do!).

15 Steem sent to ya!! <3
