Okay, last week I was working as a mascot at some show. Trust me, it's not a lot of fun. 12 hours in that suit over 2 days really takes a toll on your shoulders, but for 12 $/h I guess it was worth it.

Anyhoo, me and my brother ended up doing this. He was my handler and handed out chocolate to everyone while I had to dance and entertain kids. I'm not sure where I'm going with this, but if you're ever asked to be a mascot, think about it carefully. Interesting experience... I guess.

Here's my getup;

Hehehe, thats awesome! Were you entertaining kids who gave a s**t? I was at an airport a few weeks ago and there was a mascot guy all dressed up but there was only about 3 kids around and none of them seemed in the slightest bit interested in him <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">

There weren't a lot of kids, but the ones who were there were really into it. It just got really hot in the suit. You'ld sweat like a mad man, despite the ice packs they put in it.

I'm tellin ya, you can't see s**t and your shoulders hurt. It's more fun to watch someone do it <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">
