My goal was to have the most recognized and entertaining costume. “IT WAS! “The moment I walked in sight people were excited and rushing to get there pictures taken with me. … Read more
The conception overall was pretty easy. I wanted people to recognize the costume as well as wonder where I bought it. With that in mind I didn’t relize just what I was in for. Between numerous revisions, resulting in countless trips to the craft store and looking at all the pictures the web could offer. … Read more
It all started with a gal who looks a lot like Flo from Progressive. So we added the Geico Money Man which took 8 hours to construct, one package of hot glue sticks and 500 fake dollar bills. Rounding out the team is the not so memorable Erin from Esurance – a cartoon character brought … Read more
