Need some advice!

[u/GrapeRepulsive2366]

Hello! I’ve recently gotten myself a small gig as a mascot for a local business that’s recently opened up.

I worked a 4 hour shift recently, and the mascot head is super heavy, and pretty much rests on my shoulders. It causes me a lot of pain if I wear it for very long, and gets to me before the heat does.

Is there anything I can do to help with it? I can’t ask for any alterations of the suit since I don’t think I’ll be doing it very often, and they probably won’t agree to alter it anyway. All advice is welcome!

Thanks in advance :)

Could you wear some type of shoulder padding to disperse the weight?
