A Grinch in Sunny Escondido, California!
Here we have a Fantabulous Grinch who emailed me with these pictures and requested to be added to the "Grinches Around the World" section of grinchlover.com. As you can see, he put a lot of good work into his costume and I am happy to add this fellow Grinch to this prestigious section of my site!
Name: THAT'S MISTER GRINCH TO YOU! - PATRICK JACOBS
Email address: ThatsMrGrinch2U2@hotmail.com
Location: ESCONDIDO, CALIFORNIA USA
Public Appearances as The Grinch: ON THE STREETS DURING HALLOWEEN NIGHT & AT A FEDERAL CHILD CARE CENTER
Normal Day Job: FEDERAL GOVERNMENT - LOGISTICS
Age: 33
How the costume was made: EVERYTHING WAS MADE FROM SCRATCH (BY HAND) EXCEPT FOR THE SHOES AND SANTA COAT (NEW PICS ON THE WAY!) I WAS INSPIRED FROM THE GENTLEMAN ON THE GRINCHLOVER SITE WHO MADE HIS OWN (That would be Nastyoldgrinch). AS HIM, I DID THE ALGINATE, PLASTER, SCULPTING, ETC. FUR, HANDS AND BODYSUIT WAS ALL SEWN BY HAND.
Why I did this; how I came to be a grinchlover: THIS IS HOW I IDENTIFY MYSELF WITH XMAS -- THROUGH THE GRINCH! HONESTLY, I DON'T LIKE XMAS VERY MUCH, AS IT CAN BE COMMERCIALIZED AND MATERIALISTIC, BUT THINKING OF THE GRINCH ONLY MAKES IT MORE TOLERABLE.
