Paste-on Pustules

My lady had a face-painting business for years and one of her most memorable jobs provided the basis for my idea. She was contacted by a 'young-and-in-love' couple who required her help.

Apparently, the girl's parents were quite insistent upon the couple attending a "happy-clappy" religious retreat with them for the upcoming weekend and the couple were just as keen not to go. As the lass had recently overcome a bout of chicken pox they correctly figured that if the boy contracted it they would have the perfect excuse.

After a quick search of the Internet to find a suitably grisly example, my lady painted the appropriate looking pustules on his exposed arms and face. It worked and the young couple acheived an entire weekend of "alone time" with no hurt feelings or family acrimony.

Not everyone has a talented face painter at their disposal so I suggest creating a range of latex-based self-sticking pustules. Peel and Stick then you're good to get out of that excrutiating family obligation or tedious business function.

There could be an entire range of fake malady products - pustules, plaster casts, weeping sores etc. If you make them grisly enough no one will even risk close examination.
