im having a hard time coming up with a god layout for my clown face his year and wa slookingfr some insite from te local whitefaces out there. se, lst year i did a dirge face and noone got that i was a clown excet for when I did my toy walk and stuf (I have a little chatter skelton that I pull the cord to and then act like a wind up toy hoppinarund) and I loved the dirgeface but i wannaspice it up tis year without ending up lookig like a juggalo lol. any ideas?
I"ve found that i can paint my face however i want, so long as i wear the big red nose.... otherwise i risk lookin' like a mime...
...skull face+big red nose=clown...
i haven't been able to find the right noses for about 5 years now though, all they want to sell are those terrible foam ones, and i like the red rubber kind, with nostril holes... bah!!
we sell thos but they hon when you squeeze em. and im gonna be wearing this set of pimp dentures with skulls all over em. glad to know someone knew what Imeant by dirge. i tred to explain it to someone and thy looked confused. thankx for the input.Quote:

How do you define "clown"? I believe it is often used as a misnomer. You can do a lot of tricks with whiteface and makeup without falling into the formal definitions of a clown.
Clown (kloun)
n. 1. a. A buffoon or jester who entertains by jokes, antics, and tricks in a circus, play, or other presentation.
b. One who jokes and plays tricks.
2. A coarse, rude, vulgar person; a boor.
3. A peasant; a rustic.
intr.v. clowned, clown·ing, clowns 1. To behave like a buffoon or jester.
2. To perform as a buffoon or jester.
[Of Scandinavian origin (akin to Icelandic klunni, clumsy person) or of Low German origin.]
im thinkng more along the lines of a circus like clown who runs a business of fleshly delights with a very jeweled iron fst kinda thing.
Why not transcend clownery altogether?Quote:

you could be a vampire pimp.
"my bitches will suck you dry, i will too if you dont pay up!"
no really. dont do that. thats so horrible i had to slap myself just for thinking it.
omg. ZOMBIE PIMP!!!
"hoooooooooes......"
*slaps self* i am so very, very, very sorry... :(
Well, I gotta say that going white face is the way to go in my opinion. The way I came up with my make-up was trial and error. Also, I took old magazines and drew designs on people faces till I came up with a design that seemed to fit my character. I'd keep it traditional if you want not look like a ICP guy.
As far as a nose goes, you should just paint on a nose. Especially for white faced clowns. The big red nose is more of an auguste clown thing I think.
I would not worry about looking like a ICP dude though. As long as your makeup is not all black and a super huge design you'll be fine.
fuck... weirdest thing ever... i had a dream where a friend of mine had those noses that you like, buster, and i was all like "omg i should buy those off you, i got a friend that loves that shit!"
creepy hehe...
Dinna be sorry, Laddie, for givin' a good chuckle or two.Quote:

I have a major aversion to that aesthetic, but Roberts is solid. In particular, make your clown an enhancement/exaggeration of your own features (the natural tendency is to make a "fantasy" character almost like a mask)

rofl at "hooooeessssss..."
thats tre. the skuace i di ast year was awe! it actuall mved with facia expresionstheway i painted itonbut since i upgraded the outfit (it's the lacksgrdady pimp costume and im playing around with either my big black floppy hat, a tophat or a full leaprd fedora) i figured i'd upgrade the design to the face too. another question....has any of the resident clowns ever puontrasluent powder and if so, is it just like using amatte powder s in itll keep the grease pain from ubbing off immediatelyafter touch it?Quote:

Sure no problem. I haven't actually struck a clown since I was a kid. It's a block. I just have fun with it now. You're gonna end up at whatever tone u wish to use. :thumb:Quote:

I've always wanted to do the escaped asylum patient costume. I even have a friend that can make a straitjacket for me. (she made one for an escape artist that wanted a black one with a wipe-clean panel. What would he want a wipe-clean panel for?:confused: :1orglaugh )
This Halloween Party at the club, I'm doing the Black Knight from Monty Python's Holy Grail. The left arm comes off as well. :1orglaughQuote:
It's only a flesh wound!
