I love Halloween. It was always right up there with Christmas and July 4th for me.
Makes me sad that people are afraid of clowns and don't like them. I collected clown costume items for many years.
It was fun to design a different face each year.
But BEST OF ALL - I obtained various items that "squirt"
When you're a clown, it feels So Free, anonymous - in my huge borrowed way-too-large sneakers and clothes/socks that Did Not Match, people never recognized me, even after they knew I often dressed as a clown. They said I didn't look at all like myself.
I had a flower, big sunglasses, bowtie, hat, and nose - all squirted water. I had pretty good aim, too.
I changed every year, adding a new wig or another joke item to my collection. It was fun painting my face weird.
My boyfriend and I would arrive at different times & entrances to avoid detection.
As a clown, I could be silly and ridiculous, turn cartwheels or do slapstick comedy - No Dignity Required! LOL
I could prank people and do crazy things, act totally the fool - and believe me, I did.
It's funny I remember how after people were "squirted", they were so eager for me to get the next new person arriving and see them squirted. I was always at the hub of pranking at Halloween - innocent but fun stuff.
SO MANY Fantastic memories of being a clown. Dam* Hollywood for making them creepy.
I loved watching them at circus when I was a kid - NEVER felt creeped out by them. Slap stick humor fine by me.
Sorry, but you have a clown among you...
