I took my son to be facepainted by Mr. Ganser at an event. I was deeply affended by his poor attitude and snapping of his fingers to get my son's attention while painting my son's face. Nor did I appreciate the poor quality of the face painting and the high price that was charged. Disgusted, I took my child away. Later, I took my son to the Sweetcakes Entertainment area and had his face repainted. My son was greeted with a smile and given a top notch face paint design at a much cheaper price. Clearly, the Sweetcakes face painter enjoyed painting my son and had a positive attitude about it. Now, my son always looks for the "pink and green ladies" because they are so nice and do fantastic face painting. ...read more
