I had so much hair!
I’m sure it’s no surprise to many of you that Halloween is one of my favorite holidays and always has been. Take for instance the year I dressed up as Wolfman. The year was 1988, and I was heading off to the high school dance dressed as a giant fur ball. As you can see from the pics, it wasn’t the highest quality Wolfman costume on the market. Quite a number of people thought I was a gorilla or Chewbacca (I had to do Chewie’s yell all night). It was funny. One thing was for sure though, it was super hot in that outfit!! I guess I hadn’t thought about how hot I’d get from dancing while wearing it. But I was soft and cuddly, and all the girls wanted a big, furry hug from the wolfman/gorilla/chewbacca creature. So the costume worked its magic and was well worth the rental fee!!
When I created the Yowie character for “Welcome to Monster Isle,” I knew I’d seen a giant, furry beast before. And it was me! I never understood how the Yowie could be all smiles in that hot fur of his. But then I remembered the day I dressed up in my Wolfman costume. The Yowie is all smiles because he gets lots of hugs from cute female Yowies! And I bet he’s a better dancer than me, too.
