clowning around.

when i grow up i want to be a 9 foot tall fire breathing clown.
quick snap shots before and after my performance last night. left is full costume on just before putting on the mask. i came out in full costume, then stripped, and transitioned to the photo on the right. pulled up the long pants to create a bloomer look showing my striped and fishnet tights. once shirt was off i unwrapped a piece of lace holding up my skirt and it dropped down. i had another flat satin clown collar i also ripped off, and pulled off my long gloves, tossed one and tucked the other in someone's shirt with a little dance. i also had a plastic pumpkin full of glow sticks i threw out to the audience, and three balloons.
for having a head cold i think it went rather well. good thing i requested to go on early, i was 4th up, and the 5th actually was planning on using my same song. i only had the one song and act planned, luckily she was able to quickly change since she was dancing, i apologized, but still felt rather lucky i was up first. i went home early where i settled down with a box of tissues.
i love clowns, creepier the better. the fallowing three images are of me at various times. fist is my halloween costume in 2008, the first time i ever dressed up as something not "pretty" it was a blast. a man at the bar was convinced i was the devil himself (he was deffinetly on some drug and kept crouching near me hiding & staring). 2nd i'm holding a ceramic clown doll, i actually have a collection of porcelain pierrot clown dolls, but they are currently in storage somewhere at my parents. i hope to dig them out soon, and have a place to display them at my new home. the last photo is one of the first times i played around with clown make up.
