Some people offer clients the option of having them come dressed as a non-clown character, such as a princess or pirate. I had a brain wave this morning and thought, How cool would it be to face paint or twist balloons as a Stormtrooper? The visual incongruity would be awesome.

What non-clown character would you dress as that would be totally unfitting?

We do sing-a-grams, so have a lot of different costumes on hand. I could see a gorilla painting faces, although he would need to do it "gorilla style", very primitive and paint going everywhere! Maybe NOT a good idea!

Some of these costumes can get HOT!

I love the looks around Halloween, I can see a really evil, bloody looking character with latex scars, fake blood oozing down the neck, leaning in to paint little kid's faces. THAT would be funny! Not for the kids though. . .unless they were older, then they would probably think its really cool.
