If you\u2019re in the mascot world, that name is going to perk your ears up. You see, Doris is to mascoting as the Wright brothers are to flight. She is a pioneer of the industry, to the point where her work is still in circulation today.<\/p>\n<p>Doris comes from humble beginnings; a seamstress by trade, starting her official career in the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> floor playroom of the family farmhouse. Much of her early work included sewing costumes for local theaters and making clothing for herself and family.

She started taking on all manner of sewing projects. If you needed something sewn in Waco, Texas, you called her. Eventually the news of her handiwork spread, to the point where she was contacted by several chapters of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baylor.edu\/studentactivities\/index.php?id=943397\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Baylor University\u2019s Greek life<\/a>. Seven different Sororities\/Fraternities needed her sewing expertise for Baylor\u2019s upcoming \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.baylor.edu\/studentactivities\/index.php?id=944516\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sing<\/a>\u201d competition. Sing is a series of short musicals in which teams of students compete with one another; a campus spectacle that has been going on since 1953. The Sororities and Fraternities reaching out to Doris were looking to have her make their costumes for the competition. Given the size of Greek life on Baylor\u2019s campus, this was quite a tall order. After all, each of these 7 teams were around 30-40 members. Despite these odds, Doris pulled it off, leading to a firm relationship between her business and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baylor.edu\/theatre\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Baylor\u2019s Theater department<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Baylor\u2019s consistently huge orders propelled Doris\u2019 business forward. Her family moved to a bigger home in the city while also keeping their little house on the farm, which became the official headquarters of Custom Costumes of Waco. Orders kept coming, and the modest three-bedroom farmhouse required expansion after expansion; each addition being built by her husband, Paul.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element

Baylor found her work to be quite impressive. Year after year Doris designed and produced hundreds of costumes for Sing. It\u2019s no surprise that the higher-ups at the University started to take notice. Recognizing her ability to create and sew, Baylor decided to offer her a chance to create their first ever mascot, Bruiser the Bear. (Technically he was known as \u201cman-in-bear-suit\u201d at the time according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.baylor.edu\/baylorproud\/2020\/06\/a-quick-look-at-baylors-costumed-bear-mascots-through-the-years\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Baylor\u2019s blog<\/a>, the name Bruiser didn\u2019t come till later)<\/p><p>A mascot involves plastic molding, interior rigging, and weight management; a challenge that Doris had yet to encounter in the costume world. Nevertheless, she set to work. The body itself was pretty easy, as it was just a furry suit. The head however, was quite a bit more challenging. <a href=\"https:\/\/olympusmascots.com\/custom-mascots\/custom-mascot-heads\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mascot heads<\/a> are typically made of ABS plastic and often require a harness to support their weight. Being that Doris didn\u2019t exactly have any plastic thermoforming equipment, she opted instead to outsource the molding process to a dedicated mascot company. After finishing the mold the company sent it to her, she would then begin the process of covering it with fur to match the suit.<\/p><p>News of Doris\u2019 achievement spread, and soon she found herself working on mascots from several other Universities. Eventually her company started expanding their business by offering mascot costume rentals, <a href=\"https:\/\/olympusmascots.com\/mascot-services\/mascot-cleaning-and-repair\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cleaning services<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/olympusmascots.com\/mascot-services\/mascot-cleaning-and-repair\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">repair work<\/a>. Paul headed up the mascot repair division. His experience running a drilling company and building airplanes managed to translate into mascot repair. His workshop was conveniently right next to the farmhouse, and anytime his wife needed some help, he cleared his desk of P-40 airplane parts and broke out the dremel!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2453110

Her daughter Paula reached out to us regarding a previous project of Doris\u2019s&#8230;<\/p><p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lionsclubs.org\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lion\u2019s Club International Foundation<\/a> is a service organization whose districts and members are spread throughout the globe. Originating from Chicago, Illlinois back in 1916 with only a handful of members, it is now one of the biggest non-political service organizations in the world, boasting over 1.4 million members. Houston, Texas is home to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lions2s2.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">District 2-S2 of the Lion\u2019s Club<\/a>, and the district\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/e-clubhouse.org\/sites\/daytonnoon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dayton Noon branch<\/a> had asked Doris to create their district\u2019s mascot several years ago. Their lion mascot was in the need of a restoration, and looked to Paula for some help.<\/p><p>Wanting to help out and be a service to her community, she took the project on with open arms. Unfortunately, the mascot was in need of some SERIOUS work. It would be one thing if the fur just needed a touch up, but unfortunately there were several internal parts that needed repair, refitting, and re-adjusting. She searched her mom\u2019s files hoping to find what company molded the original head. Despite her best efforts, she had no luck.
