athenaltenaOkay, I'll give Facebook credit for making it easier to get photos that other people took, so courtesy of one of my friends here's me as Charlie Chaplin:
It was amusing to see how many people got who I was supposed to be, and it seemed like the older people appreciated it more. Most of them got it, but one person asked if I was a Marx Brother. I was also the second person in our group who was crossdressing, the other was a male friend of Angelo's, so we were evenly represented.
I was going to bind my chest, but quickly realized this was a bad idea. Luckily the vest and coat helped disguise it (it also helps that I'm not too big in that department in the first place), but I could not have bound them and lasted the whole night without extreme discomfort. What was fortunate is that the spirit gum I used to secure the mustache itched, so I would unconsciously move my lip like Charlie Chaplin and make the mustache wiggle.
I came up with this costume essentially at the last minute after trying to deal with my glasses and the V mask proved too difficult, especially since it was going to be dark. I'll keep the mask around though since it might come in handy some day.
