I
am supposedly the boss, but everybody tells ME what to do. – Pretty
good, really, ’cause it means that I get to shoot off to places and
know that everything is under control. At 52, I’m the oldest
girlie and really the Charlie to my three Angels, Sam, Raigan &
Maddie. I’m also the craziest and on a quiet day, you may find me
standing in the window, dressed as Mickey Mouse and waving at people
as they pass – I just love to make them jump and so far no heart
attacks or strokes have occurred as a result of this. My main bad
habits are ‘nicking off’ with pens and being completely untidy.

This
is Jud signing on. – I am the man with no face. – I do the work
that no-one sees – legal compliances, maintenance, repairs,
escorting costume characters, driving and all
the cleaning of costumes. In fact, I think I’ve put three Chinese
Laundries out of business already. At 58 I am the mentor (or is it
tormentor) to the four lovely ladies in the team? I still have all
my own teeth and hair and look pretty good for a man my age (my wife
wrote this and she’s biased).
However,
my most important job is switching the lights on in a morning and off
in an evening. The switches are really high on the wall and for some
reason we only seem to employ people under 5’2” tall. This is Jud
signing off. |

I’ve
worked with Liz and Jud for almost 9 years now. I first started out
when I was just 12 years old as an entertainer. Over the past few
years I’ve been everyone from Big Bird to Snow White, I can face
paint, balloon model, juggle, plate spin, sing, dance, act and I’ve
even done a bit of modelling. Around the office you’ll find me
doing a lot of different things, anything from hanging clean costumes
to accounts, I also love getting out on events and meeting new
clients and customers. I recently took a year off to start a family
but now I’m back and looking forward to everything my personal and
professional life has in store.

I’m
Raigan. 18 years young and nutty as a fruit cake. My one task in
life is to get every man I meet under the spell of my massive blue
eyes - it works with my dad, with Jud – and even Santa Claus (I
worked as his little helper over Christmas.). And do I like to dress
up??? Too right I do. When I serve you, expect some banter because
how can you keep a personality as explosive as mine in such a small
package (yes, I’m under 5’2”). Also, I can’t sit quiet. I
have to be working out ideas for displays, posters, balloon models,
advertising or anything. I recently modelled at a charity fashion
show and was the Pocket Rocket of the event. Brill!!!

<>Hi
there, I am Madalena. I was born in Portugal and speak many different
languages, including Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese. At this
moment I am studying Business and ICT at Hillsborough College. I also
like to be around people with different ideas to learn and share
knowledge. I am very dedicated in what I believe and do. Working in
PAA Fancy Pants made me realise that when you enjoy what you do, it
makes you do more and keeps your imagination and hopes growing.
I
consider myself a very quiet person, a good listener and very honest.
On my free time I like to go out with my friends and laugh till my
cheeks start hurting. I also attend dance classes to de-stress. The
meaning of costume for me is not following what others wear, but
creating something that is different and unique. |
