Clowning Around.

So at the risk of sounding over confident the three of us were well pleased with how our skitzo clown vision manifested itself....

I was quietly nervous about how we would pull off the make up... the make up was key to looking like clown freaks but we managed to do it. We have learned the trick with the almighty 'white face'.... many make the mistake of just putting the 'paint' straight on.. this then cracks and looks crap by the end of a night out. The trick is to firstly apply a light foundation then powder... THEN use a sponge to apply the white paint... you won't need much. I digress..

What worked really well about our clown collection is that we were a set yet still individual.. each with our own clown materials, make up, masks and other finer details. This is great as it allows us to apply our own individuality while still having a big  group impact.

The masks on the back of the head freaked people out all night.

Our ring master (Kerry's boyfriend) is mad with us!

Halloween Outfit Decisions

So the question remains what are we going to go as this Halloween? Loads of pressure as Halloween is one event when everyone (even non costume fanatics) get involved.

I think we have three options.

1. A Tomb Stone - think big tomb head piece with rosette/blood outfits...

2. Vodoo Witches - think skeletons meets feathers and blood...

3. Clown girls - when I was in Buenos Aires earlier this year I went to a cool club called 69. There were these amazing podium dancers who were dressed as wicked crazy clowns. Think harlequin pattern meets lace and afro.... mmmm

Thoughts girls?

Let's do the clown thing fow show!

Tomb stone=too clunky - always annoying when you have a big cardboard box stuck to you.

Voodoo = too similar to Bitch Fairies

But instead of being normal clowns maybe we be SCHIZOPHRENIC CLOWNS.  Have a nice clown face painted on our faces and then a scary twisted clown face painted on masks that we wear on the back of our head?
