Default We all started Somewhere! BEWARE!

Ok ... I've been toying around with the idea of posting this for a while... part of me wanted to wait until Halloween because I know mine is rather scary...


If you have them, I want to see pictures of your first clown makeup/character attempts

I have a picture of mine... and I'll admit this was way before I had a clue wat I was doing, I didn't know much about makeup or how to set it ... so Beware!

YEARS AGO I created a clown character at the last minute for VBS ... I had most of the costume already since most of it was pulled from my closet ... except for the pants, they were a Goodwill find.

I didn't even have a name when I went to VBS. When I got there I was deemed "Squeaky T Gospel Clown" This was his first and only appearance and by the next summers VBS "RD" had been created after much research and a little more time and money put into the costume.

Here is the picture... I know it is scary... That looks like a clown that would eat small children for breakfast.



Don't you think I've come a long way??

Now lets see yours! Drag those pictures out of the dark... shake the dust off of them and post them!

You have definitely improved. It's fun to look back and wonder ... "what was I thinking", isn't it? Anyway, you're awfully CUTE now and that's what counts. You've learned!

It's too bad my current make-up and costume (or in some cases, lack there of) IS my first attemp. I really don't even ahve a single finished costume yet. A picture now would look like selections from a costume magazine: someone modeling just one thing.

RD,

To think they let you come back after seeing you look like that. OK, other than the mouth being a little on the way to big side, it isn't that bad....

Nettie, other than the first picture which is a little fuzzy, they all look great!

Oh, Clowns. I told Dazzle I was going to make all of your first pics look like Ringling clowns compared with my first make-up job. But I just dug the photos out of an old scrapbook, and they're SO unbelievably hideous that I don't think I can share them with you. (You should have heard my husband and children howling with laughter when I showed them.)

Sorry, can't do it!!!
