The Mayor played the part of Mother Ginger in this year's production. He was perfectly delightful to work with, although I did end up having to make him his own blouse, bodice, and pantaloons, as the existing costume didn't fit him properly. He has measurements to match his personality.
I pasted some links to a few news spots about his role and the costume. I blatantly stole the pictures above from the news, but since I made the costume, I figure I have the right to use the photos, don't you agree?
I made the hoopskirt and costume about 7 years ago. It's not beautiful, but it does the job. The skirt was a major feat of PVC architecture, let me tell you. I even had to do MATH for this construction. The skirt has a circumference of around 28 feet.
