Something Silly Clowns

Photoshoots 101! As most of you probably already know, if you read our 2-year update, that we were unable to finish this photo shoot due to a small accident (no one was injured, at least not any worse than large scrapes and bruises). Nevertheless, all of these concepts still apply there are just fewer photos to show you, but we still had fun. A little under two years ago we did a clowny photoshoot, last year we did another photoshoot but we wanted to bring you along with us so you know both why we do photoshoots and some more specifics on the how. If you have not already, you can watch the parts of our day that we vlogged. Where? As we said in our last post about photoshoots you can do a photo shoot almost anywhere. We like to choose parks that are within 30 min of our house that have a variety of backdrops that we can use. Some things that we like are playgrounds, trees, fields, train tracks, water fetcher. The list could go on and on. For this photoshoot...

Something silly clowns is TWO Hi everyone Dizzy and Cupcake here! It’s been a while, and we’ve missed you! Before we get into our year-end roundup, we feel like we should explain why it’s been so long since you’ve heard from us. The simple truth is that we just couldn’t keep up with everything. Please don’t think that we have lost our enthusiasm for clowning, we haven’t, but underneath the makeup and costumes we are real people with real lives as well, and as we are here to share what it’s really like when your a clown, it’s only fair for us to tell you that sometimes due to circumstances you can’t control (or ones that you have little control over) you can’t always do everything you had planned on. It’s been a busy year for us, personally, and we also had some things crop up in the middle of our clowning that slowed us down, that we are about to tell you about. So we’re sorry that it’s been so long, but sometimes life has to happen, even when you're a cl...

Hey everyone. Today we thought that we would tell you the about the top 5 things that we wish that we knew when we started clowning 5 and 6 years ago.   How much time everything takes. When your clowning there is a lot of time that needs to be put in. You are constantly writing or finding new material. Later on you then often have to tweak it so that it works out perfectly. If you are not finding or writing material then you are practicing for a performance or getting ready the day of it. We spend 15+ hours getting ready before the day of the performance. Then we spend 3-5 hours on the day of the performance getting everything together and making sure that everything will go smoothly. Some performances and topics take more time researching which is not included in that 15 hours. We have seen many clowns drop out of clowning because of the time commitment. We wish that we had known how much time clowning takes ahead of time. 2. How rewarding clown...
