I'm going to throw these questions out there because I want answers and am too scared to go to the actual group of people that I should be asking these questions to...(I mentioned my fear of Jack Sparrows before right? Long story, note me if you want an explanation)
So these questions are available for any passerby to answer (if you know the answers)

1). How many people besides me fold their sashes?
2). Where do a majority of you buy your Jack Sparrow waistcoats? What is the very best, most screen accurate one available currently?
3). I really want to get into the Jack Sparrow impersonating business, how exactly do I do that? And I am not talking about promotion and marketing, I got that down.. but once I get an event... what exactly am I supposed to do? I.e can someone take me through the steps of performing at a children's birthday party (since that is one of the more common and more structured events that you will do as an impersonator)?


I want to do this professionally, but realistically no one I don't think would ever hire me. I just don't meet the physical requirements for being Captain Jack Sparrow professionally. I'm not convincing enough and I certainly don't look like Johnny Depp. *sigh* so sad. Being amongst the Pros is difficult, definitely doesn't do anything for my confidence as a cosplayer/impersonator (I consider myself to be an impersonator rather than just a casual cosplayer, but I don't know where I stand now. I guess in between the two). I'm just feeling a bit confused and moderately frustrated now.. although to a certain extent I am always frustrated and facing cosplay problems of some sort... ugh idk.
