Ultimate Tiki Halloween Costume - General Tiki

I hope I didn't post those directions for nothing! The costume weighs less than my 11 year old's back pack. It's maybe 15 pounds and wears like a backpack. It's very comfortable and I have worn it for hours without any real discomfort. My hands hold onto the PVC pipe so I can rock it back and fourth and swish the skirt around. Inside there is a fan and a beer holder! Yes it's hard to get into the bars and restaurants because it's 9 feet tall, but in Lahaina we spend all our time in the streets. While standing next to this Hula Girl statue several people thought I was part of the display. At one point during the evening I even had a tourist lean up against me thinking I was a permanent fixture. It's on display in the corner of my office (see photo). the other two I built I sold to a local restaurant for display. Happy Halloween!
