I could NOT believe HOW HEAVY the Sponge Bob costume
is. I wear that one for only 25 minutes.
THe other costumes I wear for 2 HOURS. But it will
be in a air conditioned restaurant. So maybe not too bad.
I tried on one costume so far and it was furry and
not very comfortable. DiD I mention I am also a
Telly Tubby? Well I am Sponge Bob tomorrow. The
costume is heavier than I am. I get buckled in like
a hang glider. Yikes. I will write tomorrow and tell you
how it went.

While you're Sponge Bob, don't forget to SOAK up all the fun you can.
He's alway sticking something in his sponge [you can tell I have a young one can't you}.

Well it WAS hot. The party was outside and it was hot.
But I made it. I danced around for 30 min.The kids
really enjoyed it and that was great. I used your tips.
I misted my clothes before putting on the costume.

This costume did not breathe and it was really rough.
The pizza place was very nice but not highly
air conditioned. I had the costume on for 10 min
and felt like I was going to faint. I made it to the
rest room and put my head under water. I would
go and meet and great the kids and then after
10 min or so go back and dunk my head under water
and go out again. My face was beet red. This one
was rough. It took a lot out of me. The kids seemed
to enjoy seeing Telly Tubby though.

This is why Disney Characters are only out fifteen minutes at a time.
Glad it went well, Darsee.

Maybe you need to invent a battery-powered fan that attaches
to a hat and blows air on you? I don't know what kind
of room there is in those costumes...
Just be careful, heat and overexertion can put you into the
hospital.

My cookie monster appeared tonight at Big Boy.
Wow that was very hot also. It was a repeat of the night
before. Head under water every 10 to 15 min and then
out on the floor to entertain the kids.
Sunday I was offered to do balloons and make up for
4 hours with another clown.
