Flashback Friday - #121 Dress up as a Mascot

Kiteman - The Big Red Kite Guy

I'm a Sydney Swans fan. For those not from Australia, the Swans are an Australian Rules football team and despite the fairly unintimidating name they're pretty good. But most of all they have an awesome mascot and yep, he's a swan. A big one, and his name is Syd. Syd the Swan. His full name is Syd 'Swannie' Skilton but thats a story for another day.

As a kid (and I know this is a little strange for a little girl), I wanted to be Syd the Swan. I guess its because as a vertically challenged female I was highly unlikely to ever get to play full forward. So was born a strange little dream to one day get to dress up in a giant mascot costume.
