I have officially jumped on the Halloween bandwagon. And it's about time. My friends have been making fun of my obsession with this great, old holiday for years now! So.....
Meet Mortie. He's a sad little guy. He wasn't always a clown. At one time, he was a successful businessman who was never satisfied with his humdrum 9-5, six figure a year life. He wanted more. He wanted the dreams of his youth. He wanted to be a circus star. So, he left it all. Walked out on his job and his old life completely. He was ready for a simpler, more fullfilling world. He donned makeup, made his own clothes, even a fun little Halloween sign. But when he looked at himself in the mirror, full of hope and anticipation, he realized something about himself he had never, ever known before......he had coulrophobia......yes, he was afraid of clowns.
Oh, bother. What's a coulrophobic clown to do? Dear, sweet Mortie.
Mortie will be up for auction when I return home from Mexico. I'll be off August 2 and will be home August 9. Will hopefully have some fun new stuff to offer!
See you soon!
