Tips
- If the adhesive on the fake beard feels loose, use a skin-safe cosmetic adhesive like spirit gum to keep it in place all night.
- Keep the baby doll lightweight; a heavy doll will strain your shoulders after a few hours of walking around.
- Carry a satchel or 'murse' to hold your actual wallet and phone, staying true to Alan's style while keeping your pockets free.
