Reminds me of someone I used to see at Celtic Festivals 
and also the MD Renaissance Faire ... 

He was dressed as a Pict, lots of blue woad on his face 
and arms, carrying a spear with a head mounted at the end.  

He told me that when kids looked frightened, he would 
reassure them it was just a rubber model, fake hair, 
even let them touch it ... 

And then, "They made me leave the real ones in my car!!!"
