The Devil Went Down to Georgia (for a Makeover)
In keeping with this, the Golden Age of Makeovers, and in honor of the return of the greatest makeover show ever (Beauty and the Geek), we present to you the much heralded, greatly anticipated:
Threadbared Prince of Darkness Makeover
BEFORE
Old Lucifer (seen here in The Passion of the Christ) has a number of aesthetic problems. Pale, sallow skin. Bloodshot eyes. Undereye circles. Missing eyebrows. Scary ass Grim Reaper hoodie. The nails from the Saw movie poster. Clearly he…she…it(?)…needs some help. If only there were eight beautiful morons here to help. Oh well, we’ll have to do the best we can with the two morons we have here at Threadbared.
OK…so we gave old Luci a little tinted moisturizer, some Cover Girl blush from 1986, and a couple of prosthetic eyebrows that we made from those fake fiesta mustaches that we got at Party City. Plus, we swapped the Dark Avenger’s hoodie of death for a kicky crochet number. Oh, and we gave it(?) one of those cool purses that really isn’t a purse at all but just a wallet shaped like a purse and at first you think it’s cool but then you realize that there’s nowhere to put your lip gloss.
Anyway, Voila! Here’s the new and improved Sassy Satan!!
AFTER
OK, so maybe the pink was a little much, but the skirt was a great choice. You can’t see it here, but the Evil One has some slammin’ gams.

I had one of those purse/wallets! (Pwallets.)
Um, I kind of prefer the "before". Perhaps Satan is in need of a makeUNDER.

Love the "prosthetic eyebrows" and the kicky pink hoodie.
Good job. :-)

I think your makeover is the look they should have used in the film. I was already rooting for Satan, but your new ensemble has really given him/her a bit of sass. I would have walked away from The Passion with a newfound respect for pink.
So would Satan's demon-child get a cute onesy to match?

Sassy Satan LOOKS like a woman, but she has no form to her upper torso...flat as an ironing board. Perhaps the evil minions suckling at the teat of Satan finally got to her...the makeover must have included a reduction.

Hey, I could see sassy satan in pink. Wasn't pink the 'new black' a couple of years ago?

Hot pink acrylic, ugh ugh. I see these things at the Goodwill every Monday on 99cent day, still stiff as cardboard after 100 washings, poor satan can hardly turn his head in it. Actually I don't think that is satan at all, I think satan made the hoodie and imprisoned a pattern model in it just to be mean.

That's hilarious!

My daughter had a onesie like that sans hoodie. Looks adorable on a toddler, not so great on Lucifer.
I think Satan just needed a manicure and a good moisturizer.

You know, before throughly reading this posting, I thought the before picture was acually from some knitting book - I first suspected Rowan. Really, it's only a matter of time...

I, too, mistook the "Before" picture for an actual knitting pattern model. I guess if I had bothered to watch "The Passion of the Mel" I would have known better. Does Satan have a gender issue?? Trying to get in touch with his inner femme fatale, perhaps? Anyway, the sassy pink version is quite nice, too. It kind of takes Lucifer back to his Angel-of-Light incarnation, as blindingly bright as it is.
