Description
The most delicious visual pun I could think of.Worn at Dragon*Con 2009. The coat and hat, metals and decoration made by me. Yes, that ice cream is fake, no I did not make it.
This costume took me about one week for work and was the most fun to wear because of people's reactions to it. Though some of the people that didn't get it got quite rude in their questioning. I explained it to one guy who obviously still didn't get it because he asked if I needed him to hold my ice cream while I posed for a picture. Heh, silly people not knowing what Neapolitan is.

Regular pink socks from Target or the like. The shoulders were not hard, per say, but sort of finicky.

That's a shame. It's easily the best type of ice cream.

I love pun costumes for the reactions I get when people recognize it. I made some bear arms on year and went as the 2nd amendment one year, but people mostly thought I was a furry, even though I kept yelling "I have a right to these!"

Heh, there was talk among some film friends of mine about doing a Napoleon's ice cream parlor skit.

haha "it is a little known 'fact' that, following the embarrassing events at Waterloo, Napoleon slunk back home to Ajaccio and opened an ice cream parlor where he invented the much famed flavor 'Neapolitan', inspired, it is said, by the striking color combination of mud and blood on his soldiers uniforms at that fateful battle"
(none of the above is true of course, but oh that it were!)

Indeed, and on the way back, he got his inspiration from to mysterious travelers that called themselves "Wyld Stallions"

It does sort of smell sweet because the cone is real and is coated in a food sealant.
