Christmas Inventory

I have four complete Santa Outfits and one top. One suit is velvet. I have to charge extra for it to get it dry cleaned ($35), sometimes when little ones sit on Santa's lap they get excited and pee on him. If that does not occur then I won't need to clean the outfit. ($20)
The suits are large enough to fit over coats. One suit is large enough to put twins in to make a two headed Santa if you prefer. (It makes a fun Christmas card!) My nephews looked great.
Sets include:
beards & wigs
gloves - black or white
belts
bells
nice boot covers and
3 Santa bags s. Santa

I just got a nice Mrs. Santa cape with hood, lined with white trim. I have white peasant tops, red skirts, Christmas aprons, mop caps & a white wig to complete a Mrs. Santa outfit.
I have a Frosty the Snowman suit that would be fun to wear with hat and no button nose.
You could use the Santa tops & hat to make a Grinch outfit. I have some green fuzzy gloves. I suppose you could do green sweat pants for the legs. Maybe we could come up with something.
I have a nice black Victorian coat (XL) with small over cape & top hat that would work for Scrooge. I can do a tux shirt and vest underneath too.
I have lots of skirts and capes for female Victorian carolers.
You can get reindeer antlers & elf hats at the local dollar store.
I have three sets of long red underwear if you need them for a skit.
For Santa's elves, I have colorful pirate shirts we could use with a bright sash and I might have some elf hats, we can add bells. I have velvet jackets that would work for females.
I'll have to watch the Santa Claus again and see what I have that would work.

Feathers

Feathers are fun.
Feathers don't weigh a ton.
Feathers? Yes I have some.
And I am not glum.

Phantom tickets

We got free tickets for Phantom of the Opera because they needed a couple of costume items.
Denise Wheeler called, they needed a white negligee and 8 dresses for the Don Juan rehearsal number. She also took a coat with cape for Hannibal to wear just before he is murdered. They put my name in the program! YES!
We loved the show, excellent costumes, fun scenery, and powerful voices!
There was a full house and a standing ovation.
Denise says the tickets are all sold out for the rest of the week.
My negligee made the front page of the Observer on Tuesday night. ta dah!
Here is an article from the EOU website.
