Excessive posting? ... Interesting.....

James & Dan,

Well...um, now I feel pressured to do the harlequin costume when I was already developing another costume idea. We shall see, we shall see...

What are you dressing up as?

Great HQ image. Below is one of my favourite harlequins, from one of my favourite artists, Olivia De Berardinis.

Put the costume together. I want to see. I am dressing up as an adult. Someone has to. That last illustration would make a nice costume for you.

Nice! Maybe if I had the body of a ten year old.

Not sure I'm brave enough either, hence putting that costume idea off for years! *lol* Perhaps I'll visit the Wizard of Oz and ask him for some esteem/guts (or a new bod), ha ha!

Oooh, you said the magic word, coffee. Wonderful indeed, having a half-sweet mocha now. What's your coffee of choice?

I'd just ask for a new bod.
& anything mocha flavored. :becky:

Hi Justin,

I will have a photo of me in a costume of some sort, for certain. I'm committed. Or committable? *lol* Maybe I should just wear a straight-jacket!

Well, yes, someone does has to..but I'm not convinced it's you!

Would it? Jeepers, I don't think I could go out of the house like that! Let alone trick or treating. Not that I'm a child. Not that I'm going trick or treating either. Who am I? Where am I? Boy, it's been a longggg dayyyy

Mocha: 1 oz. coffee liqueur

1 oz. Godiva chocolate liqueur
1 1⁄2 oz. Irish creme
1 oz. vodka
Powdered sugar
Whipped cream


Technique:

Freeze a martini glass. When frozen, wet the rim of the glass with water and dip into the powdered sugar to coat the rim. Mix ingredients in a cocktail shaker. Pour into the frozen martini glass. Top with whipped cream and serve.

Aw, thanks. Don't believe you, but thanks. & I may have more coffee now. lol Definitely no cat suits for me.

You know, I had the costumes and the drops from that show in storage until 2009, when they were consumed in our fire. They were not useful for anything but a Harelquinade, but were too interesting to dispose of.

The countryside back drop survives. It was used in a number of other shows, and I later gave it to a fellow who was restoring a local "Oprea House" so that there could be someththing hanging from his files. As I recall I also gave him a "Deep Woodland with Cut Edges" and a "Poor interior". He never did anything with them, though, and the building is now condemned.

Ah, well! Theatrical work is inherently transitory, after all.

Yes. You could dress as Pantalone.



Would you need the mask?

 

[jamespowers]

Definitely Cyrano.

 

[vitanola]

Definitely Cyrano.

My memory is awful these days. That is not Pantalone, it is the stock Physician character of Commedia dell'arte. Note the fore-and-aft hat looking for all the world like Salvatore Baccaloni's Dr. Bartolo. The long nose mask is another convention of this character.
