A girl needs an ax!
I've been working on a Green Woman mask for Halloween, collecting bits and bobs to layer on to it, but I just had a thought regarding the perfect accessory: I think I need an ax!
There are two good reasons for this:
1. I love the Sir Gawain and the Green Knight poem, and
2. there's a song by the Flash Girls which came out a number of years ago titled "A Girl Needs a Knife" and, while the basic lyrics are in the title, I have always added my own lyrics such as a girl needs a stick (i.e., white cane), a girl needs an accessible flamethrower, a girl needs a Death Star, a girl needs a sentient talking black hole (based on a John Varley story).
Oo! I just thought of reason 3: I could do the Jack Nicholson scene from The Shining!
So...I'm sure I could find a really nice toy ax on Amazon, any suggestions? If it costs less than ten dollars, I'll probably go for it.
