80's clown faces

[Sherry]

We went on a family trip out west when I was 12.  One stop was Las Vegas.  Not always a lot for a kid to do in Vegas, at least not in 1980.  They had Circus Circus and that was about it.  We found a face painting clown.  She would face paint a clown face on us for $5 each.  Me and my cousin Jackie both got our faces painted and didn't want to wash it off.  We loved it!  We wore them all that day.

I wonder if the face painting phenomena started with the clowns?

I'll attach the picture.  I'm the one on the left.

Well I was born in 1980, so this clown face has to be about 86 or so.

My sister and I at Circus World in Haines City, Fl, just southwest of Orlando, before it became Boardwalk and Baseball.

I am the younger one on the right, and if you have seen any Logan (my son) videos then you know who he looks like.

Nice!  I love to see these early face paintings.  How cute!
