COSTUMING RESEARCH - provided by Nicole

I'm not sure when she's had the time, but Nicole has pulled together several pieces of pictorial research, which I'd like to share with everyone.  

Please notice that Nicole is not only thinking about our time period, but has paid attention to the the style and feel of the Vaudeville/Burlesque performer.  She's also helped us with a few pieces that show a reversal of gender stereotypes.

           This 'aint realism - it's a vaudeville.  Don't hide the fact that everyone's performing...
