[Mr. Dazzle]

Very Good Tip Miss D. I went to Goodwill today in Full Costume and I had so much fun searching for clothes... looking at the ties, I even ventured over to the womens section to look....

One thing I had never considered before was the use of scrub bottoms or tops... Used together or apart both would work with the outfit, be fairly breathable, add a vest hat, shoes, and other accessories and your good to go. They also come in pretty loud colors and prints. Or you could visit walmart and pick up a simplicty or Mcalls pattern.

One thing I can't stress enough when it comes to costumes are POCKETS! I wish I had more in mine. I have one pocket on the inside of my Grandmother Made vest, and four pants pockets... but I still wish I had more pockets.

Today I was in the process of searching Goodwill for new Hats and a Brightly colored Fanny Pack... I didn't find either but I still had lots of fun in the store...

Some of the great comments of the day came from Children and Adults alike:

Q:"Are You a Real Clown?" ...

A:" I'm just as real as you are... I've never met a fake one"



Q:"Don't you Belong down the street at McDonalds?"

A:" No... thats my good friend Ronalds establishment... I went to visit him today but he wasn't home... Also for future reference ... McDonalds won't accept Monopoly Money"




Q: 'You don't have a squirting flower do you?"

A:.. "Nope I'm harmless and unarmed"




Q: "Where did you get your Clown Training"

A: "Well have you ever heard of Ringlings Circus? (Yes?)... Well I got my training at the Circus next door... with the Dinglings.
