    I registered for this, but would advocate against biking in capes as I discovered last year as Wonder Woman. With the wind, the cape was a literal drag when it wasn’t whooping around my face so I couldn’t see. Given the overwhelming response to TMNT, perhaps another (in addition to the turtle power team) 90’s TV show team could be considered so we don’t end up with 10 people dressed as pizzas. Any ideas? Thundercats?

    This is a good reminder to think of possible weather and how to modify your costume for the weather so that you’re safe and comfortable. It was VERY windy last year. LSG, Komorebi and I had cardboard foxes attached to our bikes which acted like sails. At one point, LSG and I were pushed three feet to the side during a gust. The gnome hats also acted like sails and our heads were blown about most of the day.

    The past two years have been chilly in the morning with a warm up during the ride. Last year was super windy.

    I’ve just signed up for the pumpkin snugglefest. Not sure what I will wear… my standard costume for years was a mini-skirted tennis outfit wrapped in heavy chains with cigarettes dangling from strings. This was for street theatre protesting tobacco industry sponsorship of sporting events (like the Virginia Slims tennis tournament). It also made a fun Halloween costume. But I think the Pumpkin Ride will be a bit chilly, so I’d best find an option B. Costume suggestions welcome!

    Also…I don’t have a bike rack. Grateful if I can hitch a ride to Warrenton if anyone has space. Happy to contribute gas $$ and treats.

    Thanks! w&w

    You should dress up like a sexy pizza.

    At first I thought this was funny, but then I googled it and found out there is such thing as a sexy pizza costume. God help us all.

    Just a do a google image search for pizza costumes. It shows up on the first page.

    I’m not providing the link to the specific site since that’d require me to click on it. Last thing I need is for my agency’s IT staff to come to my office asking why I was looking at pizza-themed lingerie while on the clock…

    Sorry for my ignorance, but I’m unclear on the connection between TMNT and pizza.

    Basically there is a “sexy” version of every costume ever. I’m hoping to see a couple of sexy ALFs this year.

    Oh my… I see what you mean, Emm. ‘Til now I’d just assumed Judd was just hungry. :)

    Let’s just say, if I ride as a pizza I will be a vegetarian slice… none of those, um, pepperoni’s.

    Other ideas welcome. :)

    You’d make a good tooth fairy. A sexy tooth fairy.

    Registered. Umm…tooth fairies and pizza … outfits … really aren’t going to work. Any ideas for a 6’3″ guy who knows next to nothing about TMNT?

    What about going as sexy chewbaca? It’s like Chewbaca but with a lot of bikini area waxing.
