I decided to celebrate the classic mouse that started it all. Did it suck carrying that helm for 6 miles? Yeah it did.
But it was well worth it. I received a lot of shout-outs from Disney fans and that just tickles me so much. The helm is actually a hollow plastic toy from a playground set (from Amazon). I had to spray paint the helm white. But in order for the paint to not chip or flake, I based the wheel first by brushing gesso and used a white primer spray paint. The bandleader hat actually fit on top of my running cap with some u-glue glue dots. I keep telling myself that I'm going to stop having gloves or any hand props because my palms get so hot and sweaty. But as you can see, the wheel really makes the whole outfit!
