LadyJasmine: Well long story short, I used to have a bit of clown phobia myself. I found out that my dad actually went to magic school, and it got me thinking about how awesome it would be to get into theatrics. I started noticing photos of clowns on the internet that were actually really stylish, artsy and beautiful and not at all like the horrible, scary kind of clowns I'd imagined in my head. (What's weird is I love Killer Klowns, and always have, but the idea of a "normal" clown is what freaked me out the most!)
Anyway, I'm not all the way there yet... just starting out, really... I can barely juggle or make decent balloon animals! But I might actually get to go to clown school soon, it's expensive but I hear it's so worth it
