Things to 49556e
- The costumes are hot and stuffy.
- Go to the bathroom before getting in costume. They’re very difficult to get in and out of.
- Wear light clothing, and comfortable, sturdy shoes.
- Don’t wear makeup; you’ll sweat it all off.
- You may have to dance. But don’t worry, your mask will hide your identity.
- Walk slowly and carefully, and don’t swing your limbs. Your costume can double, triple or quadruple the thickness of your body.
- Make sure no one puts an infant in your arms to take a picture. With most costumes, the gloves are often too thick or loose, making it hard to grip a child.
- Most importantly, you MUST stay in character and NEVER reveal your identity.
