a Mime.
A mime artist is someone who uses mime as a theatrical medium or as a performance art, involving miming, or the acting out a story through body motions, without use of speech. There are surprisingly few TV famous mimes now-a-days, but everyone knows what they are.
I put together this costume because I'm going through a particularly rough patch in my life right now. Without going into too much detail, an unfortunate string of events has left me "emotionally strained" with limited outlets of express myself. So, I put together a mime costume. It seemed like a reasonable thing to do... I think it's a super cute costume, and offers the flexibility to behave however I want.
There is no set mime costume. They usually wear neutral colors [like black & white] striped shirts are common, with a red accent, and they often have white face makeup. Costume consists of: striped shirt, vest, black bottoms, hat, hair-bow.
Pictures were taken at a photo-shoot gathering in Monterey, CA. December 2013. Photos by Harrison Wong, Paul Stout, and others.
