It's the Bubba Gump Shrimp
As I was walking back to my car from the Santa Monica Pier, what did I see coming towards me? It was the Bubba Gump Shrimp mascot. If you are not familiar with Bubba Gump, it was a character from the movie "Forrest Gump" and have since been made into a restaurant with the same name.
Here is a close up of the live shrimp. Should he be so happy dressed like that? I guess it's a job.- Karen
I bet it's hot in there but maybe he'll be rewarded with fried shrimp, boiled shrimp, shrimp salad, shrimp on rice, and so on....lol!
ReplyDeleteThe costume looks soooo much fun in deed!
ReplyDeleteI wonder how silly they feel. I love it
ReplyDeleteHe looks like a flamboyant little bugger doesn't he?
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments. He/She sure looks like a happy bugger on the outside. Don't know what's his/her expression on the inside, but I can't help but smile when I look at it.
ReplyDeleteThe way jobs are going maybe the shrimp has the right idea.

ReplyDeleteMust be hot in the summer with that outfit, I always wonder what the person looks like under these costumes.
ReplyDeleteI have added you to my Photo Blog Roll of Honour on my photo site as I really like your photo blog which I found through entrecard dropping. You can see it on yamboldailypicture.blogspot.com
wow, it is my first time to see Bubba Gump Shrimp Mascot. The picture looks fun.
ReplyDeleteWhat a hoot! I know you were thrilled to have your camera with you!
ReplyDeleteKaren Santo Monica must be a very nice place. I had ideias of moving to California once. Never did, probably one day I will regreat it.
ReplyDeleteThat's the first time I saw the mascot in-person too. Maybe they let him/her wear the costume when it's not very hot. There is also something called a cold suit that keeps the body temperature down.
