I volunteer for Oklahoma’s statewide Special Olympics every year. On the second day of the event, there’s a BIG dance held on a high school football field. There will be thousands of participants there. I like to dress up as a well known character and walk throughout the crowd giving away tons of hugs and having countless selfies taken with the athletes. I’ve gone as Mario from the Nintendo game a couple of times. Last year, I went as Buzz Lightyear. Both characters were VERY well received. I’d like to go as someone different this year and am looking for suggestions.
Criteria (more or less):
Someone or something that it pretty much instantly recognizable.
Preferably not scary. My co-worker has gone as Deadpool, Donkey Kong, and Rocket Racoon and they’ve well received but he has scared a few athletes unintentionally and I don’t want to do that.
Buying a costume is what I’m looking to do. I’m not skilled enough to make something or do a lot of fancy makeup.
I’m a big guy, 6’1", 240 pounds so nothing for the skinny.
Suggestions? My co-worker is going as Captain Jack Sparrow but mine doesn’t need to be related to his.
