Summary: Learn tips on how to choose the right pair of gloves to create a great mime costume for Halloween in this free video clip.
"Hi, I'm Matt Cail. On behalf of Expert Village I'm here today to show you how to do a mime costume. One of the last parts of the body of your body which is not covered with black and white at this point, are your hands. Mimes often times wear gloves. Right now the hands are still flesh colored so we have to cover that up and I'm here to show you a bad example and a good example. First off bad example, winter big huge thick gloves these are black and some mimes have worn black gloves, that's fine. But these are way too thick. Your hands are going to get very hot especially if you are indoors and this happens to be during the summer months. Even around Halloween you still can be in for a very toasty evening and this doesn't look right, it's going to be very thick and looking like you are going to be mime in the arctic circles as opposed to probably more temper region where you are. A much better option are nice thinner white gloves. These are the same type of gloves you may wear out for an evening out of town if you're a vampire. They're also other gloves you can get like theatrical gloves. These are not too expensive they are very thin and they are much form fitting than the black gloves I just showed you. These are not meant for you to survive arctic climate so consider putting these on to be one of the last pieces of the puzzle for your mime outfit. "
