Clowning Around

A little blog/scrapbook where I tell the tales of my clowning adventures

Egg Fest

April 5th, 2026

For me and my chosen family, easter really is about the eggs. For our easter celebration this year, I brought about two dozen deviled eggs as an appetizer, and after a lovely home cooked meal, made by my friend’s mom, we all sat around the table and dyed easter eggs together! (i brought a little circus clownery into mine dancing clown)

We all torched our own creme brulee and this was my first time ever eating one... I fear I may be hooked now, it was so delicious nomnomnom

(This one turned out so cursed lmao)

On a personal note...

Growing up christian, there was always so much pressure to treat easter as a religious celebration. Being a non-religious person, myself, I really stopped caring about easter for a long time, but it's been so healing to spend it with the people I love the last couple years, and I love getting to see my friends’ creativity!

Happy Easter!

Lincoln Park
Zoo/Conservatory

two clowns mirroring each other's whimsical dance

I had never been to Lincoln Park, and for my birthday, I thought it would be fun to go clown around there! It was absolutely beautiful! I love nature, so it was really nice being amongst all the animals and plants. In spite of all the stares and comments from the normies, it was a day full of friends, fun, and whimsy! My umbrella, in combination with the chicago wind, made for the perfect clown gag! One of my friends gave me a cozy clown poncho with bells as a birthday gift, and it totally completed the look! It also came in handy, because I was NOT dressed for the cold

As an avid cat lover, it was so fucking cool seeing the lions up close!

This zebra stood like this for at least an hour. haha

Big thanks to all my friends for encouraging my whimsymaxing and getting some great photos for my blog!
