Old act, new tricks!

After four years of Texas living, I'm back in Peepshow Menagerie's "Burlesqueland" next weekend. I was asked to reprise Red Snapper's Wild Ride, but there were some complications.
Truck space was limited when we left Los Angeles and we had too much stuff. We knew we'd have to get rid of some things, so I retired some numbers before the move. We ditched my custom-made (foam core) Mr. Toad car, the velcro-closure costume I modified to wear over the suspenders that held the car in place, and some of the standees. We kept a devil prop and another standee to make a shadow box with some photos. (We still haven't gotten a chance to do that.)
I had to come up with an act from scratch using costume pieces I had on hand.
I performed in front of a green screen in my newly carpeted home office, and Mr. Snapper turned that into a beautiful hells cape, complete with digital devils. For last month's full reveal, he monkeyed around with some light rotoscoping.
I'm really excited because this adds more stuff to the entertaining toolkit. :)
