"As far as the clothing of mine, we discussed putting the glove down under your shirt. I am wearing a very casual cotton shirt because I perform in Florida. The red necktie is reminiscent of Marcel Marceau, who's the father of mime who wore a little red tie. I like to add this. When I'm doing a more formal mime presentation, I have a red satin shirt, which is also long. You have to remember that if you're reaching up that your waist doesn't show or any part of your body. I also have a long sleeved white shirt with a collar that's a very floppy big collar. I wear a vest basically when I'm performing for children because it's happy and colorful. Black and white are the classic, very classic, mime colors, but you can add a dash of red or whatever you might like."
