Extreme jobs & Extreme looks

A ​Christina Clarkson

Christina Clarkson is not an ordinary actress. This is because, when she is not working at the theatre, she is standing as still as a statue on a busy street. It take about 90 minutes for Christina to cover her skin with body part to become a living statue.

​B Eric sprague

Eric sprague is a sideshow performer​. He has green tattoos all over his body to look like a lizard. He also has pointed teeth and a fork tongue. The lizardman, as they call him, performs all over the world and shocks audiences with his appearance.

​C Joe Atkins

​​When Joe Atkins arrives at work, he goes to the dressing room to change into his work clothes. For the next eight hours, he wears a furry costume and a huge heavy mask over his head.

​Joe is the Disney charactor Pluto, and he works at Disney world in Florida. Before he leaves the dressing room, he says "have a nice day" to the other charactors. He knows that he cannot speak to anyone later because Disney charactor must not speak to the visitors, and they have to be good at mime.

Joe then makes his way to Cafe'​ Mickey to welcome the visitors. He walks slowly and carefully and doesn't swing his arms or legs. He must becareful and remember that his "body" is at least double normal size. One little girl looks frightened so Pluto doesn't get too close. Joe slowly extendes his hand to her parents so the little girl can see that he is friendly. One of the most important qualities for people working as a Disney charactor is to be patient with children and extremely tolerant. Very soon the little girl is smiling and enjoying breakfast with her new furry friend.
