Like most kids born in the 1980s, I grew up with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I think I ate nothing but pizza for lunch for a solid year in 1990. And while Raphael is my favorite character (naturally; he is the best turtle), when I was looking for a fun nostagic costume to do, I wasn't quite ready to make the leap to crossplaying mascot suit, so April O'Neil made a lot more sense. Now between you, me, and the lamppost, I prefer the first live-action movie over the cartoon, but April's yellow jumpsuit is just so iconic. And I certainly did spend my share of Saturday mornings watching the cartoon on T.V.
