I am into costuming for a long time.
However, when I was 59 years old I went to a costume party dressed as Charley's Aunt, in a beautiful 115" hoop skirt, fancy lace trimmed hooped petticoat, satin bloomers with plenty of lace , string purse, wig with curls, bonnet earrings, lace gloves, lace fan ,makeup and an attitude.
I enjoyed it so much that I am now creating female costume characters to add to my male ones. I have an inventory of about 25 characters. About 9 of them are females.
However, the urge to do the female ones has sort of overtaken the males one.
At present, in addition to Charley's Aunt, I also do a Southern Belle, A Grande Aunt, Mrs. Bates, A midievel Duchess, an evil Duchess as well as an elderly lady from about the 1860's. I also do Martha Stewart.
I have become an expert impersonator of elderly women like grandmothers, aunts and elderly dowagers.
When I am able to post more pictures i will in my album.
Though not an official CD er, after donning that fabulous hoop skirt years ago I found out what I was missing.
I really enjoy wearing hoopskirts, dresses and gowns and will continue to work at it.
I will continue to create my female characters for the future.
I particularly enjoy dressing as Grande Dames, Duchesses, Queens and Southern Belles as well as some ancient grannies and aunts! Lol!

My Late wife once dressed me up in a Maid's costume to hand out candy to the
Trick & Treaters. It was scary at first, but later on I hated it when the night was over.
