Couple of pictures for submission; I won't say which one is me or the celeb, see if you can figure it out.
Da Bears... Da Super fans... the impersonation reminded me of this classic. And yes, I'm slightly off topic... they are smoking cigars... :hysterica MJ even gets into the act.

Lol, anyone catching crap from their wife/gf for dressing up and taking pictures of themselves?

I get laughed at pretty routinely.

Well, I shaved my goatee and grew out my chops... I was able to capture the moment in the following thread:

Newbie Where Are You Smoking

I didn't have enough time to grow out my hair.

I just had to attempt an impersonation of this brand owner:


My wife wouldn't let me buy another tie that had wider blue bars... had to use something that I already owned... :headroll:

I received a PM and two folks asked me basically the same question in person: Did I use PhotoShop for my cigar celebrity impersonation. Specifically with the jacket, patch, etc.

I did use PhotoShop but only to crop out Dion and me and to position us appropriately... next to each other.

Below are my costume props... I drew the Illusione badge on my computer and printed it out:


Below is an example of a photo that hasn't been cropped... this is just for illustrative purposes and is NOT meant to be a 2nd submission:


The photo is from my first shoot where we didn't have the body position and eye placement figured out yet... plus, there were some major lighting issues.

Getting this task completed to my satisfaction was by far the most difficult part of the scavenger hunt, in my opinion.... I tried to make it somewhat funny but also have a serious side... like I really was trying to look like Dion.

Thank you for the interest.
