What I have :

facepaint
white shirt
black vest
black pants
bowler hat (although it looks more like a top hat)
bowtie.

any tips?

Especially in the makeup area, I'm kind of lost. I have the general idea it just won't turn out right. I'm also having trouble deciding inbetween bright red, or black lipstick.

For the makeup I'd go for a heavy, stylish design that looks like he hasn't reapplied for several days. The scarier, the better.

Oh and I shuld probably throw in this tasty tidbit of information as well.

I'm a girl. Oh the joys of gender bending!

Go rent "Wahtever Happened to Baby Jane" and get some make up tips from Jane.

The Stratford Festival is doing Cabaret this season. You can see pics of the Emcee on their website. Bruce Dow, who plays the emcee, has been likened to a chubby Boy George by some reviewers.

A chubby Boy George? Isn't that redundant?
