Hannibal Lecter
October 27th – A word of advice if you ever need to dress your seven-month old up as the most popular cannibal in the world: a pacifier will solve all of your problems. We love “The Silence of the Lambs,” but we didn’t think there was any way Charlie would be interested in wearing a Hannibal Lecter mask. We figured it was worth a shot, and we asked Caroline’s sister, Laura, to crochet one. I’m not sure what I expected, but she totally nailed it. We were thoroughly impressed with the look of it, so we decided to give it a shot. We put Charlie in a long-sleeved white turtleneck, and I put a strip of black electrical tape across the front to look like one of the straps of Lecter’s harness . We draped a black tarp behind him as a back-drop. Before we put the mask on his face, I gave him a small pacifier, and he didn’t have a care in the world when we put it on. I shot from a few different angles for about a minute, and we were immediately satisfied with the result.
