So in 2011 I had plans to be Sonic the Hedgehog and enlist my friend to be Dr. Eggman. Sadly, the idea didn’t materialize due to the lack of his presence. Therefore, another costume idea had to come to pass, and it did. Back in 2010, I had seen the first Despicable Me film on … Read more
This was the easiest costume ever! The magician: Black shorts, white button up, suspenders, and the magician hat! Most of these things are aready things in the closet!
