Randy Constan is a Peter Pan impersonator who posted his cosplay pictures on a website in 2001, in what he stated was an attempt to find a girlfriend.[2] The website became a widely-circulated internet meme, and in 2001 Constan's website, pixyland.org (aka Peter Pan's Home Page) won a Webby Award in the "weird" category.[3]
Constan has made television appearances in costume, including Late Night with Conan O'Brien,[1] Jimmy Kimmel Live,[4] Unscrewed with Martin Sargent,[5] and Because I Said So.[6]
In 2006, Constan appeared in a music video alongside Jay Maynard, Leslie Hall, and other individuals who gained worldwide exposure via the Internet, created for the web site WeAreTheWeb.org. The video advocates for net neutrality.[7]

Constan grew up in Staten Island, New York.[8] He graduated from Staten Island College in 1974 with an Associate of Applied Science in Electronics and worked for Consolidated Edison in New York City[1] from 1974 through 1994.[9] His first marriage was in 1976, during which he lived on Long Island.[8] He later moved to Tampa, Florida[8] where he has worked for Tasnet Inc. since 1995.[9]
On October 7, 2007, Constan became engaged to his girlfriend of one year (who goes by the names Tinkerbell and Princess Dorothy) at a local club "The Castle",[10] and the couple married March 29, 2009 at the Bay Area Renaissance Fair.[11]
