I never gave much thought to costume characters in my youth, though I had seen plenty growing up. It wasn't until I began working as one at Disneyland that my entire perspective changed. Not only did I gain a large dose of respect for those that do it for a living, I also became more critical of the design of the suit and performance of the suiter. This has led me to try to snap pictures of suits whenever possible. Whether it be at a county fair, an amusement park, a trade show, or a fan convention. Knowing some folks who read my site share my interest in suits, and knowing I will never really have time to write heavily about each one, I thought I would create this brief introduction to the wide, wild, weird world of professional costume characters. Click on a picture to see the full photo. Some entries have multiple photos. And please remember that I am not the performer for all these suits. For me in suit, check out the ones I have worn.
