Rec'd on 🎪 WHAT WOULD YOUR CIRCUS ACT BE [AND WHY]

fun fact about me: i’m a clown girl and i always have been. as long as i have been alive i have absolutely LOVED clowns. my favorite childhood toy from age 2 onward was a large handmade stuffed clown doll i named “clowny.” i had clown decor in my room, i would draw clowns. i had small clown dolls that had sad little faces and tears on their cheeks. I loved the clowns so much and it made me sad that they were sad so my nana painted smiles on their faces for me. i have been a clown for halloween multiple times. i love clowns and maybe someday ill be one.

I really loved doing weird things with my body aswell as fitting into tiny places as a child. I wish my body could still do it lol, also my partner is in professional circus school for trapeze! it’s so wonderful and crazy to see what humans can do!

Well

First when I was about four I wanted to be a standup comedian, then I wanted to work with Greenpeace, then I wanted to be a novelist, then I wanted to be a Broadway star but I have literally no ability to dance, then I wanted to be a clinical psychologist.
by high school my grades were tanking because I was skipping school a lot and not turning in any work and I saw Cirque du Soleil Quidam and wanted to move to Montreal and be a circus clown despite having no athletic skill.
Then I wanted to be a hand model which is what I would tell my school guidance counselors when they would angrily ask what I was going to do with my life. Would have said a regular model but I’m short so I wanted to be realistic but now I am a hair model (not as a career) so that’s fun. I think I’ve made out pretty well for myself for a girl with no direction…
