As a child, I always loved Curious George. As I got older, the love I had for the beloved little monkey didn’t change, which is what inspired this Woman in the Yellow Hat costume.

The skirt was hers, the shirt was mine, with a few alterations. We bought some vinyl and put the grommets in to make the “corset”. As her costume … Read more

Maybe it is because I work with a wide span of patients as a physical therapist from 12 years old to 95 years old and those that speak English, Spanish, Somalian, French, American Sign Language, etc. that I feel the need to dress as something that is relate-able … Read more
