One mans journey as an elf.

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;

You get to wear that AND get paid!?!? Jeez... pretty cushy job.

One day you'll know what you're talking about, I can hardly imagine

Maps! - Audio blog!

I thought you said You get to wear that and still get laid.. HAHAHA.. No I dont think so.

Even though the Big head is an Improvement. =)

Thats an awesome suit. Seriously... I love it.

where can i get one of those

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 :biggrin:

Frenchy, you're my hero!

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 :biggrin:

Well man I give you crap, but I also have to give you credit.. good job man. And your right it is more fun to watch someone else do it..

At first I thought the 1st pic was you as LINK.. ok a WARRIO version.. but still.
