    Clowns deserve more respect. Yeah, yeah, we all have fun with scary clowns in movies, but most clowns are just looking to entertain children.

    I really hope that one day the real clowns will make a comeback. Not the horror-themed mockery of the concept that runs so rampant now days.
    I mean the kind that brings back some joy and innocence to the world, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant.
    We really need that now more than ever I think.

      Miri Golden maybe dressing up will give you the courage you need. Something changes when you get into costume. Try it. Not once. Not twice. Keep going if it's really what you want. Find your identity!

    • @hellbenders87

      same actually! my dream is to be a clown. the colorful outfit and face makeup, the glowing positivity and goofiness, making others laugh, the preforming and work aspect of it, it all is just my absolute dream.
      dont let shyness stop you man! you can do anything you set your mind to, just be determined and ready to work for your goal of whatever it may be. stay positive and if you want to that badly, you can do it dude

    @ChestersonJack Před 5 lety +61

    Gosh I love clowns. I used to have this weird aversion simply due to the idea of the white facepaint. I have autism spectrum disorder and sticky stuff on my skin always was an issue for me, sensory-wise. Even seeing it on other people set me off, like as a kid and when I saw other kids put little stickers on their face I would physically recoil. But I’ve gotten a lot better about sensory stuff, really going headfirst. And now that I’ve gotten over the makeup, and the idea of what it feels like to wear the makeup (and that practically no one uses greasepaint anymore) it helps a lot.

      I used to think clowns were creepy, but There are creepy, perverted old men in every profession- it’s just that it’s easier to judge a clown by the cover.
      Pediatricians and social workers for example, some are so perverted and devious and yet they get away with it because of the white coat. Don’t be fooled by your eyes

    Clowns are not scary. It's just those people who doesn't have anything to do with their lives that makes everything complicated. I hate those people who uses clowns to do bad things and tarnishing the names of the professional ones who just want to make people happy with their job as clowns :(

    When you really think about all the contributing factors that go into being a clown, its clear that its not "easy money" by any means. Its arguably one of the most difficult jobs out there if you decide to do it professionally.

    If clowns wore less makeup and kept it simple like you they won't be as scary. It's when they have a big painted on smile that makes it scary.

      The light Auguste makeup is getting more popular these days. Similar to 0:11 Very little white, just a bit of eye and lip makeup, maybe some rouge on the cheeks. Much easier to put on, better for a small audience, and less frightening to kids. 😎
