I JUST HAD TO CLOSE MY EYES FOR A SECOND AND LIKEâŚâŚ..DIGEST THIS WHA T THE HELL
You know why
clowns actually originated in egypt to entertain royalty- they wore weird masks and imitated gods.  there were also clowns in ancient china, greece, and italy. it wasnât âblack face and then switched to white faceâ like i saw in the notesâ the clown white paint was invented in 1801.Â
the big, red nose is associated with alcoholism/being drunk (heavy alcohol usage can lead to severe rosacea and swelling of the nose), because drunkards in ye olde times were seen as fun for the whole family. the overlined lips create an exaggerated smile). curly or big hair was seen as whimsical and fun, as was a lack of hair (if you look up âvintage clownsâ, youâll see their hair is puffed out to the sides or upwards. nowadays, people probably wear afros because theyâre cheap, and donât involve lots of styling.Â
i am passionate about clowns
They are a terrifying breed of monster, and must be eradicated from the face of the earth, but itâs relieving to know they werenât born from a place of racial prejudice.
