Review on Men'S Black Lightweight Rasta Penguin Costume By Imposta by David Sharma

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Penguin for a night

Oh and sorry its so long it was part of an english assignment so i needed to add a lot of fillerI bought this penguin costume for a costume/gaming event my friends and I had over winter break. The rules were simple pick a country, dress up like a citizen of that country, and get your country’s flag. I picked Antarctica as part of an inside joke amongst our group. I realize Antarctica is not a country it is its own continent but it was part of the joke. Unfortunately there are not any natural citizens of Antarctica so I had to dress up like a penguin for the night. This costume was perfect. It is lightweight so you do not over heat while playing whatever game you happened to be partaking in at a that time. Additionally there are handholes in the flaps so you can hold your beer or controller easily, as the night went on I found out you can also drink/play without the handholes it is just a lot harder. One problem I found with this costume was when the head was pulled up the beak tended to fall into my face blocking my view of the screen impairing my ability to counter or attack in Super Smashed Bros., race in Kario Mart, and land stunts in SSX whiskey. Luckily however it did not impede my fluid intake which was the main goal of the night. Another bonus of this costume is it looks good. I realize that penguins are classy looking animals what I failed to realize is that wearing a penguin costume is also classy because it doubles as a tuxedo complete with a big red bow-tie. I originally realized how good I looked in this penguin costume during the closing ceremonies. The closing ceremonies were not anything special and mainly consisted of all the participants that were still able to walk going down to the local 24 hour Mexican place, getting burritos, and reliving the best moments of the night. On the way to the Mexican place I received several compliments on my costume from different groups of ladies, including an invite to a party the next night, the guys we ran into were a little more negative but the costume was not to impress them anyway. One extremely nice feature of this costume is the bottoms kind of like a dress. Meaning its open so its easy to walk, and one size fits all. All the wearer has to do is have a pair of pants underneath. Reading about others adventures in this costume I realized theres two ways to go about it you can just go with jeans and look like a trashy penguin or be an adult and have a nice pair of black dress pants. Being the adult I am, and already having a pair of nice pants from my senior homecoming, I went with the classier look and wore black pants. The black pants were definitely the way to go they blended seamlessly with the rest of the costume if you were to purchase this costume definitely fork out a little extra cash and get black pants. Now you may be reading this wondering well this is all cool but I don’t know is it really worth it? Yes, yes it is. For the low price of $28.70 this costume is yours to keep forever. What that means for you the buyer is years of entertainment and as long as you hang out with different people on halloween each year you can just reuse it again and again. But wait this product may be sold on Ebay but Billy Mays ghost must have had a say because there is still more! If you sign up for the free Ebay Prime trial it qualifies for free two day shipping! In summation this lightweight penguin costume is great for parties with friends, easy to wear, cheap, and most of important of all ladies dig a guy in a penguin costume.So overall this costume is highly deserving of the five stars I gave it and I would highly recommend to anybody looking for a fun costume for halloween or any costume party you may be attending in the future.

Pros
  • The black and green design of the costume is flattering on all skin tones.
Cons
  • Costume may be too commercialized and lack creativity or uniqueness
