La Sousa Clown Band, Luna Park, 1909

I don't know if I'm exactly afraid of clowns but they give me the willies, a little bit.

This was before people smiled for photos??

I can only imagine this group playing funeral dirges. They look like they are doing the clown marching band thing under duress. 🤣 🎃 👻 🦇 💀 🤡 👹

I cried a lot today. Not sure what sparked it really, but I apparently needed the release. #grief #tearsofaclown

Tears of a Clown - Iron Maiden

All alone in a crowded room. He tries to force a smile. The smile it beamed or so it seemed. But never reached the eyes, disguise.

One feature I really appreciate on Mastodon is the ability to mark sensitive material. I feel like I can probably post this here without losing any followers because nobody will see this weird thing unless they want to. 'Cause weird art (well, and weirdness in general) is part of what makes me get out of bed in the morning.
