Where to rent a panda suit?

Binomate · 2006-02-02 19:17:07

Anyone know any places, preferably in Dublin that rent out Panda suits or other charachter/mascot suits in general (Mickey Mouse etc.)? And the answer is no, this is not to act out a sexual fantasy.

I'm not going in to 'Miss Fantasia' for a costume if that's what you are going to suggest.

Hehehe, I just think it would be pretty cool to walk around town for a couple of hours in a mickey mouse suit or a panda suit. But they're all about €1000+, so I'm thinking there might be a place to rent one for the larf. It would just be so much fun!

Hehe. Yeah sure. All are welcome to come, including others in more costumes. A herd of Pandas walking down Grafton Street would be fantastic. I think Daithai wants to video it as well, or so he said on IRC.

My plan would be to wear it in to college during rag week then head to town for a wander. Hop on a few buses etc, maybe a trip to the zoo.

Either that or if I had a video crew we could do "Sexual Harassment Panda - The reality TV show".

Panda beers. I' can't wait. Maybe with enough support we could get our own private forum for planning panda marches, raids and events in general.

I'm afraid not. Thanks for the tip, though. I might take a trip up the mountainous regions later and see if I can find a suitable panda to make in to a Panda suit.

There must be somewhere that rents them. I've seen people in giant sperm suits and condom suits in town before.

don't have exact addresses, but there is a costume shop in clondalkin village and another in clonsilla. shouldn't be too hard to find once you get there. both town centres aren't too big.
in know the one in clondalkin has a large selection. haven't been there, but my friends did go. i have pictures to prove it.
