As I was looking at this story online someone walked by and asked “who is that guy in the Tony the Tiger suit?” Without missing a beat I answered “That’s not Tony, that’s Tigger” and began looking for Tigger pictures on the web.
“How do you know?”
“Know what?”
“How do you know that’s not Tony?”
“Tony the Tiger has a red bandana.”
“But the costume isn’t zipped up yet and the bandana goes on last.”
She had a point. On further reflection, the costume doesn’t quite fit either one. The ears don’t match either character and neither one has striped hands. Without the mask you really can’t tell.
“Maybe it’s a real tiger costume.”
Without seeing the mask I am still not ready to commit but I definitely think the costume is closer to Tigger than to Tony or a real tiger. If the costume has no mask then all bets are off.
I think no matter how you slice it that is a strange costume for an adult to wear.
Now that is Tigger for sure.

Mr. BTR’s Blog Notes
1- Need more proof that grown men should not dress like tigers? Sigfreid and Roy.
2- Mr. Blog wanted to work Catwoman into this post but left her on the cutting room floor. Sorry Julie Newmar.
3- The only adults who can dress as tigers are sexy women at Halloween. The skimpier the better.
4a- This blog was a last minute replacement for what turned out to be little more than an angry rant about politicians, adults in furry animal costumes, and oddly, the Rice Krispies guys and the Keebler elves.
4b- There was a time when that would have ran.

Weird – we must be sharing some odd Furry vibe today. I did a little poking around to attempt to locate the hoodie/costume in question, but couldn’t find its equal.
I did, however, find this – it isn’t photoshopped, it’s from a place that sells (disturbing) spandex bodysuits.

And then there’s the outfit with which I ended this blog:
I had the same picture in the last post and took it out- too creepy.
