COSTUME LIST
Last updated: 5/31/14
Chuckie parts his thin silver hair on the right. No sideburns; hair is short in front of ears where sideburns would be. Hair is swept from right to left over top of head, no bangs visible, well clear of forehead and hair is short that enough tops of ears are bare. Hair has a slight wave to it.
- Cigarette in black holder.
The part of the holder that Crim grips in his teeth is black; the part
which holds the cigarette is silver. He holds this in his right hand
during his first appearance with the book, and grips it in his teeth
during the segment where he points at the Time Warp instructions.
- Deep red ascot with black faceted beads and piping.
Two layers, with a black tassel at the tip of each, extending down to mid-chest (don't make it too long, please). The piping forms a central design, with a wavy vertical line on each side, accented with the beads. The wavy lines don't extend quite as close to his neck as the central motif. Bottom edge of the ascot is scalloped (3 scallops outlined with very small smooth seed beads). Make ascot out of a red handkerchief/scarf or a wide tie (not satin, please).
I thought for years that the ascot was decorated with sequins, but on the DVD they definitely look convex, not concave, and this is backed up by a
photo Larry Viezel was kind enough to send. They are definitely faceted from the way they catch the light. So for detail freaks, reach for rhinestones/beads..
The best color picture of this is in the booklet that comes with the 15th
anniversary box set.
Here it is--note the beading pattern and the lapels of
Crim's jacket.
- Gray velveteen jacket with black velvet lower lapels and white hankie stuffed in left breast pocket.
Worn unbuttoned. There is a dark gray/black frog or toggle closure just below the lapels, the knot/toggle on his right side, with the loop on his left. 3 velvet-covered buttons per sleeve (same shade as jacket), placed very closely together. Vertical center backseam; 2 vents on jacket back. Lined in gray satin. There's a bound diagonal slash (welt) pocket on other side of the front bottom of the jacket.
- White dress vest (waistcoat).
Fastens at bottom with 7 small white fabric-covered buttons with shanks.
- White pleated dress shirt with wing tux collar, round black
cufflinks with gold rims.
Stiff cuffs.
- Black pants, no belt.
- Black shoes and socks.
- Time Warp instructions and wooden pointer.
Pointer has a dark brown cylindrical handle. The instructions would look great on a pull-down window shade.
- Black hardbound book (may be dark green; I'm looking into this).
Long; may be 8.5x14 inches. "THE DENTON AFFAIR" is embossed in gold above the center of the cover in a serif font. There are 6 evenly-spaced gold horizontal stripes on the spine, a vertical line at the edge of the spine binding, which extends onto the front and back cover. The spine may be a slightly more textured black, or it may be a dark green marbled paper. Gold diagonal lines edge triangles of a dark green marbled reinforcement over the two outer corners on the front and back covers.
- Squat clear cut-glass tumbler.
Crim fondles during "Food" speech. Looks like an "Old Fashioned"/"On the Rocks" glass.
- Light-up globe.
Runs $50 and up new. Arthur Levesque suggests buying a plastic inflatable globe and lighting it from underneath or behind.
