Billy Joel Big Shot

 


I've had Billy Joel fever for about 6 months.
I can, will and have listened to the Glass Houses and The Stranger CDs about a billion times.
And his new song?  Turn the Lights Back On.  Absolutely glorious.  His music has been my escape, sanctuary, and a block from negative shit.
So it only made sense that I was going to become a man for Halloween.  I don't look good as a dude though.  Yikes.  I'm definitely giving girl's PE coach vibes.

  "What's the matter with the clothes I'm wearing?"

I based my costume from his 'You May be Right' (absolutely love that song) video:



Here's a few very classic sullen Joel looks:




The head to toe:


White tie, white sneakers:


Went light on the props, but did have me a Piano Man Tips jar:



For my photo shot background I was able to get into the music hall at the University with their fancy Steinway grand piano!


"You may be right.  I may be crazy.  Ho! But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for."


Here is the original video.  Love his dance moves.  

Alright.  I gotta go listen to Anthony's Song a billion and one times now.

  3. WOW, I live in Billy Joel Country(Long Island) I know most of his early albums by heart. I did not keep up after Glass Houses but of course, I have a soft spot for him. You look great!!!!!!! I love the costume. I did not have to watch the video to know his look in it. I guess you wouldn't do the older bald Billy next time.......
