Daenerys Targaryen who? Nobody knew about her in Mexico! I did it anyway and I think it is the best one so far. I loved wearing it and the boots made my entire night very comfortable. The hardest thing to find? The Dragon! (it’s a yugi oh, or digimon thing). The wig was the easy … Read more
Admittedly, we just bought the Elmo suit for my oldest son. My Super Grover 2.0 costume was a labor of love, as was the Oscar the Grouch costume: For Grover, I used adult sized footie-pajamas from Target. I made a red cape from fabric I had lying around.
