Okay, this is a really weird question, but if this exists in Louisville one of you weirdos will know about it. I'm usually good at digging up things for this kind of unusual request, but I'm at a brick wall on this one.
I'm doing a cake for a birthday party later this month for a 2-year-old. The party has an Elmo theme, with the added attraction of the Tumblebus (never heard of Tumblebus before? me, neither, until now.) The mother has pretty specific visions of how this party's gonna go, and one of the things she wants is a live, person-sized Elmo to show up at the party and cavort with the kids.
Well....I called Blue Apple Players to ask them if they could give me any direction on this, but they just suggested I call Caufield's - which I did, but they don't know anyone that does kids' parties (?), and they don't rent costumes, and they don't SELL adult-sized Elmo costumes.
I have a call in to "The Event Company", a company downtown that does all sorts of corporate parties and weddings and what have you, and am waiting for them to call me back.
So, any of you have an Elmo Costume in the back of your closet? If so, I don't want to know why, just get it dry-cleaned and tell me how much you'd charge. I'm not making anything off the Elmo segment of the proceedings - I just love a challenge, and I'd love to find Elmo for her!
