Joker

Casually in The Head of Steam
The paint was crumbling, but it was household emulsion and water colours, not make-up.
On Briggate, Leeds.
In the Trinity centre with a fake cigarette.

Why

The film had just come out and I thought it was great and it was a really distinctive look too.

When

October 2019.

Elements

Red suit, green shirt, mustard waistcoat, green wig, make up, fake cigarette

Amount of Work

Needed pockets and zip sewing in as it was a cheap crappy suit off the peg, barely fit to wear.

Level of use

Once.

Notes

I didn’t like looking I was a smoker one bit, but it was an important prop for this costume/character.

Future use

Probably not, as it was a bit of a zeitgeist thing.

With the police, naturally.
Minus the wig, before going out.
