February 16 is Edgar Bergen’s birthday. Edgar was an American actor and radio performer who was best known as a ventriloquist. In honour of his birthday today I have dressed up as a Ventriloquist dummy. The crux to pulling off this costume was all in the makeup. I’ve uploaded a lot of close ups of the make-up for this reason so that you can get a good look at the highlights on my face that make me look fake….just like any Hollywood actress with botox (anyone over 25).
