Mime Costume
My alter ego -- since I talk a lot, a silent mime was the "inner me." Since I'm usually cheerful and smiling -- the tear seemed a good idea to complete the "opposite me."
Prep Time: About 15 minutes
Costume Materials
- black slacks
- long sleeved black shirt
- black hat
- white linen napkin for the bow
- white gloves
- black shoes and socks
- white & black clown makeup
- red lipstick
- The basic costume is easy (slacks and shirt).
- The bow was made from a linen napkin gathered to one corner and pined to the shirt with a safety pin.
- The make up took the longest -- about 10 minutes.
- The tear was made with the lipstick as I didn't have red clown makeup.
