Last Minute Clown Costume! 
Sent in by Debbie Hughes

“This is very appropriate as what I did was silly, and I should be sent to the silly farm. It was my first paid job and I was to face paint at a 5yr olds party. I had everything ready, but at the last minute decided that I wanted to be in costume.

So I ran down to the local OpShop and purchased some material to make a clowns outfit, this was the day before, so without a pattern I ran myself up a costume, looked pretty good too, so the next day I painted my face got into the costume and went to the party.

It was a great day and I thoroughly enjoyed my first outing. After painting about 14 faces, I packed up and waved goodbye to everyone and walked down the driveway to my car.

When I got home and took my outfit off…horror…all the stitching at the back had come undone and all I was wearing underneath was my pink knickers…I’m not sure if anyone noticed, but I made sure I ran them up on the overlocker and sewing machine a few times after that…”
