Hiding products in plain sight

It seems that having products listed on a website without a photo is like hiding a product in plain sight. Nobody wants to touch it even when the description says exactly what it is. Very interesting lesson to be learned here in regards to marketing. This is what I currently have on my costume renting website.

Sleeping in a Zentai suit

Recently I tried to sleep during the night in a Zentai suit. The suit covers the entire body. I tucked the mask in at the front of the suit. Sleeping in the suit was quite nice and the temperature was right, especially since winter is quite cold. In the morning my hands were a really small amount numb due to the pressure from the gloves throughout the night. The pressure was nowhere near enough to cut off circulation.

New dinosaur suit

Yesterday I finally received a new dinosaur suit from a local manufacturer. The suit itself is a mission to get into, but it looks really good when finally in it. No way to tell it a man or woman is inside due to the foam inside that gives the shape. As expected, it does get hot.

The annual crazy "40 days" season

As every year, the matriculants have their annual "40 days" event. Just like last year, a lot of them are coming for costumes, which keeps me rather busy.

Laserquest and bowling

Yesterday evening my work had a laserquest and bowling event after work. Several could not be bothered to show up or had other engagements. At least two of us were quite sick. The event had to be booked in advance, so we could not shift it.

Laserquest was nice, I had a gun failure for a while. My aim was terrible. In the bowling I actually had one strike.

Both were in the same premises downstairs at Stadium on Main in Claremont. Between laserquest and bowling we had beers as well.
