I dressed as a partially
eaten gingerbread man.
Inspired, of course, by Shrek.
I did another movie-inspired one
two years later
the leg lamp from
A Christmas Story.
Look at that
fishnet stockings
I got the pump on
the light is functional
in the skirt.
After that I dressed
up as a flamingo
wait for it.
This is my foot.
That's my face down there.
It's sort of a
crutch handstand.
I took it to the zoo.
I tried to go like stand
by the regular flamingos
just to see if they would like
I don't know,
try to mate with me
or talk to me.
My favorite part about it
is this child
who is so much more
interested in me
than actual flamingos.
I dressed as a
foosball player
the Halloween after that.
I did an IHOP sign.
Wait for it
it's like a double pun.
Dads?
Where my dads at!?
I know you guys
like that one.
I did Lumiere
from Beauty and the Beast.
A Blizzard from Dairy Queen.
So this was actually
not Halloween,
this is just here
in Santa Monica
on The Promenade
right before Christmas.
Look at that lady's face
I love her face.
You remember fidget spinners?
Yeah
I did a one-off random
fidget spinner costume.
This is Halloween 2017.
Tigger
T-I-double-Guh-Er
And Halloween 2108
I dressed as Genie
from Aladdin.
Down here at the bottom
that is my tiny dog Mushu.
He dressed as Abu
of course.
Aww, aww
When I did the Christmas tree,
he dressed up
in this dog Santa outfit.
What I love about this
is these people
are just
not impressed at all,
they're like,
"Oh yeah,
just a tree
out walking a dog."
But this kid over here,
he's like,
"Something's weird over there."
I got these custom
semi-invisible
clear crutches made.
So that I could
walk with my costumes
and sort of float
above the ground.
There was, for some reason
a local news crew
walking around
so I was interviewed
by...
And what I love
about this
is how seriously
she's taking her job.
She's like, "Yes,
I'm a professional news woman,
and I'm just interviewing a tree.
Like, I went to journalism school
to be able to do that.
Hey there,
I'm Josh Sundquist.
I lost my leg
to childhood cancer,
but I grew up to become
a paralympic ski racer,
motivational speaker,
bestselling author,
comedian,
and, of course,
Halloween enthusiast.
So here it is,
My 2019 Halloween costume.
It's easy to get above it.
Unfortunately the X popped.
We have a bunch of I's
because that's the one
I intend to pop,
but I didn't have
the foresight
to buy extra Xs.
A medium gluten-free pizza.
And do you have jalapenos?
I do.
We're trying to
figure out if we can
fill the balloon
with something and
prop it up somehow.
I just filled this thing
with so much toilet paper.
The center part of the X
we will tape onto the tripod.
Baaaaa.
Just another day
at the Sundquist house.
Hey Mushu.
Baaaa
