I'm so happy for you Siren, that costume is so awesome ! :) Siren I don't think the kids on your back would be an issue I do that to my baby cousins all the time, but your obviously gonna have to work more on your arm-strength, I noticed that pushups are great for this. I bet that would help u with the endurance, and no u won't be buff if u do it LOL ;)

I got a Wii Fit for my birthday and workout on that 30 minutes a day :) Its cool because it doesn't just exercise you, but works on your posture too :)

She sent me 7 more pics last night. All she had to finish is the neck and back feet. The back feet you see here are her goat feet. I sent her a package last week with a helmet to mount the head and neck on and shoes to build the back feet around. Hence why the unicorn has a human head here :P

I love it! It's so furry!

Looking at the pictures and the position you need to be in: will blood rush to your head? I know that you're not upside-down in the costume, but will dizziness be a problem at all?

Just one thing you need to consider: A saddle.

You wouldn't want their nails to ruin it.

Dude, you're such a bad ass mom! I bet your daughter has a blast with you. ;)

I wish you the best of luck in your business! It's great to hear that you're so passionate about it!

Yes, Wii Fit is an awesome package. Too bad I don't work out as much as I should :( .

Anyways, this is a very cool venture for you to pursue. The suit is compelling enough that it should impress people and thus gain people to your business.

Well they're gonna have to grip on something right, otherwise they'd fall or slip.

Oh, I see what you mean, and yeah, I was going to make a bridle actually. A saddle would only add more weight and heat to me. But a bridle for a slow, short walk should do just fine.

Oddly enough, I have like 7 adopted internet children....of people who want me to be their mom, lmao

Costume is complete. She will be receiving the remainder of the money on 1/30 when I am scheduled to receive my tax return. Till then, I suffer in anticipation.

wow, applaud you doing what you love and taking control of things.

My cousin and his wife also started a costume shop over 10 years ago, sort of as a joke. But it's grown into a huge store with thousands of costumes for rent. Let's just say their ship has really come in.

It'll be tough in this economy, but I hope you succeed!

I know, its actually not expressionless. I plan to stand in front of my mirror or a camera and try different poses and head tilts to see how i can make the most of its expressions.
