Full size costumes are becoming more of a priority
Based on the client that showed up last night, as well as previous clients, it is soon time to get costumes for really large people. Anyone who is bigger than the normal average sizes has got a problem instantly to get any costume for any theme.

Missing costume showed up again and two costumes removed from website
The missing costume has turned up again. It was rented by someone who told me he had booked while I was busy and I did not make 100% sure that he actually had done so successfully. This might have been as well because that person did not read properly or was not computer literate. Some people also get stuck on the booking form after filling in the form. They just do not seem to realise that they need to click on the "Book Now" button at the bottom of the form.
Due to various reasons, I had to remove two costumes from my website.

Costume went missing
For some strange reason there is one of my costumes missing. I hope it is not yet again a case of somebody in a group that came to take a costume along. This is what would force me to increase prices.

New superhero and bunny costumes
Three new superhero costumes and two bunny suits have arrived yesterday. Two of the superhero suits are Venom costumes. They are listed as large but actually look like a small size. The problem is that they only come in that size. The other superhero costume is an inflatable Hulk costume with a built-in fan.
The bunny suits are quite nice, especially the plush bunny, it has a really soft mask and the attached hands have an opening on the inside to allow the wearer's hands to be outside if needed. The mask of the second bunyn suit is quite nice as well, but it will get hot.

Barney performer services
Lately there have been more requests for people to perform at birthdays in a Barney costume. A lot of parents seem to be desperate to get hold of Barney costumes for adults to entertain the one to three year olds at birthdays. The problem is that those suits are not available due to legal reasons. I get a lot of phone calls for people looking for exact looking suits. What many do not realise is that those suits if available would be really expensive to get and expensive to maintain, they require a lot of space and getting someone into them would require internal cooling as well. The person wearing such a suit would be mostly blind as well.

Meeting with a fashion designer
Last night I met with a fashion designer who could maybe do some work for me on new costumes. Since the previous two people that I had to working on costumes are not reachable and the other one working on a television series, I had to resort to getting someone else.

The Easter bunny requests are starting to come already. The Easter weekend is normally a warzone when it comes to bunny suit requests.
