I can't believe it was almost 4 years ago when I doodled this on my phone:
I thought it would be cool to have an Eve puppet as a run costume and make it look like Eve was running with her arms swinging back and forth. I basically went all in a few days before the race and committed myself to figuring this shit out. There were two parts to the success of this costume: 1). finding the dog toy that is the right body shape and 2). figure out how to attach it to my body. So before I stumbled upon the dog toy, I was planning on using a stylized plastic UMBRA garbage pail. I drilled/saw two vertical slits in the back and strung the black sports bra through the slits and wore the whole thing OVER my clothes, and no one could tell since all my clothes are black. I drilled holes on the outside for a dowel to fit through to make the arm swivel action. Eve's eyes is actually painted with blue glow-in-the-dark material so it actually lit up. Oh and I got too excited at mile 1 and knocked one of Eve's flippers off. I tried running back to go find it with no success!
