Well, yes, there is a slight problem with frostbite, so we’ve added accessories. We’re using double layers of heavy woolen gloves. We also added earmuffs, and we’ll use ski goggles to fight the snow blindness.

We’re still working on the legs, but a combo of mukluks and long johns should do fine. Now, if a stagehand can follow Julie with a space heater… Not too close, this fabric tends to melt… There, how’s that for revealing wintertime glamour!

You know, if the weather calls for long gloves and earmuffs, maybe you need something more than a slip to go with them.
