Llorekeeper's List: HalloweenCostume

"His name is Louis Mendes , one of New York's famous and oft photographed street portraitists."

"Vintage-look suit, pants, white shirt, neck tie (loosened) or maybe bow tie, and most important a snap-brim hat with a card in the tucked into the brim that says "PRESS." It's a cliché of the period: use it. Note pad and pen is a must."

"The idea harkened back to the old 1940 movies about investigative reporters and photographer that were in all the vintage cop movies like Citizen Kane, Ace in the Hole and After Office Hours. Our costuming needs were not so expensive as previous years. They consisted of a couple old suits from Goodwill, Fedoras and novelty ties (Michael’s had cameras on his and I had fish on newspaper) off of Ebay, an oversized pencil from a Novelty shop and the Graphix Camera. The original cameras still command a hefty price so Michael made his own from styrofoam and a lot of ingenuity. He made it so that our digital camera could fit in it and yet no one could tell it wasn’t the real deal."

"Includes: Hat, Microphone. Does not include tie, trenchcoat, pants, shirt, glasses, moustache or glasses."
