On paper, this should have been one of the greatest costumes
ever. It was from a TV commercial shoot I had done and was made by
professionals.
It was horrible. Let’s count the ways, shall we?
1. It was solid foam. With a foot of stuff covering both
ears, the costume smothered sound like I was a billionaire* and it was one of
my heirs holding the pillow. WHAT? WHAT DID YOU SAY???
2. It was constricting and restrictive. Not only was the
costume tight and uncomfortable, it prevented me from bringing my hands—or my
drinks—to my face.
3. It nullified peripheral vision. Blind spots? Don’t mind
if I do.
