from Team Rocket (Pokemon)
Designed by Belle

Pika Bug Designed by Klassix Car Museum

  Her inspiration was:

I played the role as Jessie at children's birthday parties alone without James, well kids were always asking me where James was and that there was no Team Rocket without James. I always had to come up with excuses. One day I got a phone call from a guy named James who had seen some of my murals that I had done for a children's play place and wanted to see my other artwork. We met and that very day Team Rocket became a reality.

Now we both do children's parties and constantly play out the roles of Jessie and James, (some times too much). After parties we hang out around town, go to the movies and restaurants and enjoy the looks people give us as we're in our costumes. Kids loves us and we love to see their faces (although some are scared of us,after all we are the bad guys)

  On Cute Stuffed Yellow Things:

I love Pikachu, he is soooo cute! How can you resist him? I have over 600 Pikachu collectibles, both American and Japanese, and I've seen the original Pikachu VW Nintendo made and I never thought I'd ever have one, but now I own one and it is the ultimate Pokemon collectible I'll ever get.

Her favorite thing is:

I love my car, it gets a lot of attention and I just love the looks people give me when they see this big yellow rodent with wheels driving past them!

My car has been featured in several magazines and newspapers including: POJO Pokemon, VW Trends and VW Dune and Buggy, local papers and more.

It took me 5 months and I spent about $38,000 but it's retailed at $60,000.

The trouble she had was:

Money! Money! Money! Pikachu is cute, but he's expensive...That's why it took so long to happen, I could only afford to get the transformation piece by piece.
Next time I'll: Play the lottery more.

The costumes took me about a week and I spent around $300.00 for both plus our props.

The fan I made is my favorite part of the costume It keeps James in line and lets him know who's boss...(o:

Constructing my long red hair was the hardest part. It's made out of foam insulation you would find in a sofa. I had to buy about 18 bags of red hair, I had to weave and sew and glue it into place on top of the foam I constructed. But the biggest challenge is to wear it. It weighs about 3 pounds!

Next time:

I'll come up with a better and lighter wig, but I don't think it's possible. Jessie has alotta hair and it definitely sticks way out.
