Miser Brothers Costumes a Hit!

|
Hello there, I wanted to share with you costumes that my partner and I made and wore this past Halloween to various parties in San Jose and San Francisco. We were the Miser Brothers. Snow Miser is Willy Campbell, and Heat Miser is Jonathan White (me). We were VERY popular, which was fantastic! Rankin Bass is in everyone's hearts!
Feel free to comment or use on your site. |
Wow! GREAT costumes Jonathan & Willy! Perfection! Thanks for sharing the pics with the rest of us! You couldn't have done better!

Another non-R/B artist we admire here at rankinbass.com is Mary Blair, whose distinct design style can be
seen in such Disney films as Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, and Peter Pan
(as well as the It's a Small World attraction in the Disney theme parks!)
