Jan 09 - London Calling
Mid Life Crisis Man Wrote:The command was to wear a tutu ... not to be a convincing ballerina! Just wear the tutu over your running shorts. Tutus, by the way, are very light-weight: except for the outrageous stares and raucous laughter of the crowd, you'd probably forget you were wearing it.
It's more the wind resistance I'm concerned about - the drag effect...

Quote:The wig, on the other hand, is going to be your main problem. Of course, the RC tradition is to wear a long, flowing red wig. But given the circumstances, I think a short blonde affair with a nice fringe would suffice.
The plan is to use the charity's own bright orange affair. But they've suggested I collect it at the Expo - not exactly much time for road-testing or adjusting.

Quote:Even so, pray for cold weather. I'd suggesting lining the inside of the wig with some moisture wicking tech-type material, otherwise the damn thing will just keep slipping off due to the sweat.
Do to my total smoothness on top, it would actually be possible to use double sided tape! No chance of occasional removal though (in the water shower for instance).

Quote:And don't forget to call yourself Desmond. That's gotta be worth an extra ten quid from your tutu friend.
I appreciate the suggestion, but I'm sufficiently egotistical to get a big boost from hundreds of people calling my real name...
