Costume!

Since I was so eager to start my project, I began putting together my clown costume a few weeks ago. During my interview with Crossroads the Clown, he gave me some great websites to order clown gear from. My first shipment came from La Rock's Fun and Magic and I made sure to get some pictures of the first time I wore my clown gear. I ordered a properller cap, nose and the sticky tabs needed to keep the nose on your face (clowns either use stickers or gum/latex glue to keep their noses on) as well as 100 of your classic balloon animal balloons. For my pants I took a trip to the local salvation army and found the most perfect pair of clown pants. My sister helped me put elastic in the bottom, but we decided they needed a little spicing up so I have sewn about 6 of 400 flower buttons in all sizes and colors on the pants. If you'd like to help sew buttons, please feel free to volunteer! I still need to find my clown shirt to go under my bright red suspenders but I'm not too worried about that. Shout out to Safira Amsili who is lending me some clown shoes, thanks! The whole costume has to be perfected by March 5th for our school carnival. I'm still trying to decide what I would like my makeup to look like, or if I would like to wear any at all. Your input would be appreciated!
