Mimes Quote by Kate Evangelista
““I spotted Dray standing to one side of the room and made my way to him. A mime accosted me along the way, but I did my best Russian-accented English and said, “In my country, we shoot mimes on the spot.” The poor guy blanched beneath his white make up and backed away.””
