The M.A.D. House Artists (Mom And Dad)


From 1976 to 1987 Mom worked in New York, first as a dancer with Bhaskar: Dances of India, and later as a costumer. Mom likes nothing more than realizing YOUR costume design for you to wear. Costume construction is her specialty. Making the collars and tails for the American productions of CATS! from 1982 until 1987 was one of her proudest achievements. In the Parsons/Meares Costume Shop, together with Ms. April Guttierrez, Mom helped document the construction of each tail used in CATS! in a book called a 'Tail Bible' which was used for continuity. But you really do NOT want to raise children in New York City, so that was that.

It was fun using the left-over pieces from the real Broadway costumes to make this Halloween costume (pictured above) for Mink. The Collar was a gift from the Costumer with the CATS! Road company, and happens to be one that Mom made in New York all those years ago. The costumer toured Mink around the stage and costume area at the Tulsa Performing Arts Center main stage and last she opened a drawer of collars that had been retired and told Mink to choose one. Imagine Mom's surprise when she examined the chosen collar and recognised the work!


Here is this Fellow again, as he prepared to attend the High School Prom in May of 2005. Not only a designer of computer games, Kimball is really quite a remarkable artist and Costume Designer. This costume is available for orders of copies.
Please feel free to inquire by email: zelda@brightok.net.


These are a few details of the Straps & Buckles Costume Designed by none other than our Kimball.

This is one that Mom made for an international corporation (above). In fact Mom and Kacie, Denesa, Sydney, Chelsea, and Aunt Jobie managed to construct ten of these for use by the executives in seminar settings. (You should see what the Lady Shaman were wearing, Mom and the girls made those, too!) Above is Mom modeling the Shaman Robes in The M.A.D. House Dance Studio.

This is The M.A.D. House Artists on the road with their store at an outdoor event. As Mom and Dad were incognito, their costumes were on Display without them. Pictured are Mom's Medieval Gowne, and Dad's Enchanter costume (seen above on one of our friends). The horned hat is available for purchase. Custom copies to your specs.
Be sure to email Mom at zelda@brightok.net if you need a costume estimate.
