Guess what!? My boss at Mongo's loves that I'm a clown, and asked if I'd be willing to work in costume! I'll be the starter (I greet people, put their food on the grill, and generally get to be chatty.) on Saturdays as Dottie. I told Jim (my manager) that I was going to adjust my makeup a little bit, just to make sure that it's grill-friendly. Today I bought a few new costume pieces after work since some of my other stuff just won't work in that environment.
If Dottie is popular, then I may move up to hosting (y'know, greeting people at the door and seating them and such.) as Dottie. I told him that I am planning to learn how to make balloon animals this summer, so I think once I can do that (and will have to brush up on my close-up magic tricks....) he'll probably let me host.
Wahoooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love that my clown job will be the same as my regular day job.
Just more fun.
So, I should be starting as Dottie within the next couple of weeks....I told him that I want to make a few costume and makeup adjustments first, just to be on the safe side, and then we should be good to go.
Ooh, that means I'll have to go get contacts, since I can't wear my glasses in makeup.
We have a crew meeting tomorrow night....if I can get Dottie all figured out and ready to go, then I'll probably go to the meeting as Dottie.
Ooh, I'm so excited!
