Space Andoids from Outer Space

Here we are as 'B' grade space adventurers from the back of beyond. Our emblem in the centre of our chest is actually a vintage Cortina badge. 'We come in Peace' should now be 'We come in pieces, lots of them and we have just been reassembled.'
The gig went well and it was very funny to be beemed into a Star Trek themed night.

Two of our top
Mannequins get inside Madame Tussauds.

Thats us above and we are also the ones sitting down amidst close scrutiny on the right. In the background you can see Pele and we shared the room with Bush, Blair and Robbie Williams to name but a few. We even had Steven Hawkins with us in the changing room not to mention Buzz Aldrin, Galileo and Neil Armstrong. Stiff competition for human mannequins.

The Lady in GreyStone.
Georgie here modeling our grey stone living statue costume at Stanwick Lakes, it is one of three garden statue costumes that we have. We also supplied a stiltwalking artist and chef. The day was well attended but rain internitantly caused us some difficulties. Muddy feet was the statue's main problem a bit of a give away, luckily not many people looked down.

Here is Chris blending in on Oxford Street.
Out side the House of Fraser.
Although Chris applied his own make up he was lucky enough to have two ladies from the cosmetic department remove the make up while customers watched.

They also had Bill Posters Clown who took the photograph.

The Vicars
Here are our latest creations. Lovely long white stilt walking cassocks. We tried out the costumes at Bletchley and Fenny Stratford Fete and the result was that the vicars were born. This is another costume creation by Ruth Willis she's a star. There are several variations we are cosidering to adapt this costume. These include Ice Landers a winter wonderland creation and White Angels. Any other suggestions are most welcome info@electriccabaret.co.uk. More themes that the Electric Cabaret do can be found at www.electriccabaret/thematic-characters/
The Vicars proved to be great fun in the most sincere way.

Thats the Woodstock festival in Oxfordshire that is and the award was a certificate for best dancer. Thats not bad cosidering he was on two foot high stilts at the time. The photograph does reveal a certain amount of excertion though.

Stone statue warrior costume commissioned by BBC Scotland's childrens series 'Raven Island'. Ths warrior had been frozen in time and could only come to life when the special code words were uttered.
Great fun to be involved on set, meet the stars of the show and the crew. Strange to trudge through pine forrests dressed like this.
