My first clown name was Lily. That was 9 years ago. I picked that in honor of my cousin's aunt Lillian that I met only once at my cousin's wedding. She was very nice and very funny. I started clowning right after that.
After a 7 year break from clowning, I decided to get back into it. For VBS this year, our church is doing "power lab". the script calls for a Professor Wilma, but I didn't like that name, not interesting or funny enough. So I am now Professer TruLeigh Smart. She is a character clown. No makeup, just lab coat, glasses, and an old-fashioned hat.
My main clown character is named Petunia. She has yet to make her first public appearance. I will contact a local nursing home this week about visiting a couple times a month. I picked the name because I have flowers in my costume and I bought some petunias a couple weeks ago to plant in my flower beds. I think Petunia works for my character.
