A STEADY RAIN
2009

JOEY and DENNY

Direct from Broadway, via Chicago, we have Joey and Denny.  Joey is dressed in a grey single breasted suit jacket with a grey lining.  The matching suit pants have pleats and cuffs and are held in place by burgundy suspenders and a cordovan leather belt.  One of his many exacting details are a hand painted red silk tie adorned with a gold tie bar. His white shirt, of the finest cotton with subtle grey and taupe stripes and a breast pocket, holds his hand made plastic pocket protector, 2 pens and mini paperclip.  He even comes complete with a rectangular silver watch with black crocodile watchband.  Hidden details include a scaled down detective shield and a tiny silver cross around his neck.  His feet are shod in handsome oxblood leather oxfords over grey patterned socks.
Like Joey, Denny is dressed in an equally detailed yet far more casual way as befits his character.  A blue plaid cotton button down shirt and greyish-taupe cotton twill pants, held up with a brown leather belt make up his basic ensemble.  His replica of a navy blue, stripped down “Member’s Only” jacket, matches that designed for the show as do his handmade brown leather chukka boots and dark blue patterned socks.  Some of the more distinctive parts of our Denny bear are his hidden mermaid tattoo, that was hand painted  on Mr. Jackman’s arm nightly, and a mini version of his “Golden Bears” (coincidental??) NFL ring, gold wedding ring, watch and a gold chain with crucifix.
Both Denny and Joey have been finished off with hand tied, human hair wigs with Joey also sporting his signature moustache.  Lastly the bares are not “bare” bottomed, as under each of their costumes are a complete set of “underclothes.”  Joey sports a pair of Calvin Klein grey knit boxer briefs and Denny chooses simple grey Calvin Klein briefs.  Each comes with their miniature white cotton tank top undershirt and as they did after every performance during our Gypsy Of The Year fundraising competition, both of these fine actors have signed both t-shirts… as well as signing the leg of their own individual bears.
