Dottie Lux? This one's for you...

Hooray - finally get to see what the clown act looks like... and so can you. I think the tracking is off (why does youtube always do that?) so imagine that I do everything to a very premeditated, exact beat... Big thanks to beautiful glitterknickers who filmed it and magicked it onto the interweb.

Where's my troupe of burlesque clown acrobats?

The "FAKE" gun is my favourite part...great to see the perfromance again.

I really wanted one of those ones that has a flag pop out with "Bang!" written on it... but it seems that clown props aren't what they used to be - couldn't find one anywhere.

Nice to hear the audience's reaction a bit as well - heehee... x

I'm surprised you couldn't find one with the flag. Guess they must be hand me downs within the Clown elite. ;) x

I thought it WAS going to be a 'BANG' gun so it was even funnier when it said 'fake' onit.
I used to have a 'BANG' gun as a Harley Quinn prop....not sure where it is but if I find it, it's yours. They don't look like a real gun AT ALL though as the barrel sort of flaps open to allow the wee flag to unfurl.
I'll keep my eyes open anyway. I LOVED your clown act- especially the very, very sad way you took the gloves off!! : )

You live in New York - you must have seen burlesque of the best quality! I'm fairly sure Dottie Lux does a far better clown act than me... but thankyou anyway. :) x

Heh. I'm *so* sorry I couldn't make it :( Just as well....it was fine without the custard pies :)

Looking back, I think it may have detracted from the water-squirt... but I dunno - I really like the idea! And hey - plenty more gigs in the sea (err... or something). xxx

Gosh, that glitterknickers girl is very good, isn't she?

Although I hate to praise myself I'm quite impressed it came out as well as it did - all thanks to my funny wee digicam! The sound thing might be my fault - or at least my camera's - because I noticed Imelda's was out of sync when I played it back on my telly. I also discovered I seemed to have been frequently putting my finger over the mic on the camera. Gosh, I'm professional!!!

I think it's just one of those technical blips... and youtube does notoriously fuck tracking up (playing the audio faster than the visual, which you can see at teh end of the clip when Al talks when he isn't really talking...). I think it's awesome and I'm very pleased.

:D
