I was just on the internet one day and happened to see a picture of Richard Simmons pop up in an advertisement. I knew my husband and I had a contest party to go to and thought how funny would that be if my husband would go along with a Homemade Richard Simmons Costume, and he did!
I just bought some girl shorts and tank top at Wal-Mart and glued sequins on it spelling “sweatin to the oldies”, I sequined up some old leg warmers and some dazzled up tennis shoes, borrowed a friend’s Napoleon Dinomite wig. Really cheap costume. Lots of great laughs!’ I even dressed up as the 80’s workout chick. We rocked!

I am thinking of doing this with my 17 month old son. I’m a fitness instructor and I thought it would be really funny to see a baby dressed like Richard Simmons!
do you have a picture of your costume? I’d like to see the workout chic as I am thinking of doing this
My husband is going as Richard Simmons this year and all I can find is expensive pre-packaged costumes. Now after seeing this, I realize I can make it for him and it will look better than those pricey ones–thanks for sharing!!!
