Clowning around

I've been facepainting for several years, but I finally decided to get serious about it a little over a year ago. I have had a very successful year, and I'm hoping to get my business rolling even more this year. I've been having fun mixing work and play lately as I've been creating some new characters for my birthday parties. Princess Katrina has been in the back of my mind for a long time. It only seems fitting that I would sing and play a character. It's great that I can make money doing something that I absolutely love. I'm working on writing a story about my character that incorporates face painting. Those of you that haven't seen me in a while will notice that I am now a blonde. I think it works well with my character, so I'm going to keep it for a while.
This is my clown character. I was originally going to call her "cuddles", but I recently learned that there is another Cuddles the Clown in Utah, so I'm toying with the idea of "Kit Kat the Clown". I think it's kinda fun to incorporate my real name. If anyone has any other ideas for names, let me know!! I decided to start clowing because my dear friend moved to Seattle and basically left me her clowning business. She has clients calling nearly once a week looking for a clown, and I was missing out by not offering balloon twisting and clowning. I have my first party on January 7th and I'm working on getting a good list of balloon animals to offer!
