Most of my Santa gigs are through agents and I hear over and over. "You get paid less because the agents (or family) really wants a real bearded Santa.
I don't know where this came from most real bearded Santas look scruffy. I love the look of the big fluffy cottony white beard, mustache and hair. It totally matches the old image of the traditional Coca Cola Santa. Which is where this whole Santa thing came from in the first place.
You may not have realized it but Christmas is a marketing scheme. Santa is shill for imperialist dogs to keep us buying stuff.
But it's cute to have kids hug me.
I was in a mall the other day a kid walked by and said..."That's the real Santa. Mommy he's the real Santa" Because you know, I'm a real performer that takes the look, feel, the way I hold my body as a character. The character happens to be Santa.
I had another lady that sat on my lap at a party at a real estate office look at me from one inch away and say..."You really are Santa..." Yup I am.
There are some great real beard Santas but my rant is hiring some old guy that isn't a performer to perform just because he has a beard is lame. I see a lot of Santas. Create a physicality. Go to a beard groomer get your beard properly groomed, dye your eyebrows. And remember Santa never stops smiling.
Be better Santas.
