Comments? Critiques? Suggestions?
I've had it with minimum wage and living mostly on my parents' generousity.
I'm seriously needing a kick in the pants, a chance for true advancement, and an opportunity to get out there on my own and live my own life. I've been working hard on this most of the day, and hoping that everything included here properly

"Served the past 5 years as Face Painter & Clown, handed out balloons to small, timid children often clinging to their parents, painted faces, danced about and brought smiles & good cheer to otherwise ordinary, somewhat reserved fest-goers"

You probably want to take out the descriptive details. Most employers are just going to glance at your resume for important information and the descriptive details bog it down and make it harder to get the relevant information. You might try rewording it to this:

"Served the past five years as Face Painter and clown"

It looks cleaner and more professional to people reading it. Most of your details look really good, though. I hope that helps :) If you want any resume/interview tips I've got a file from an interviewer that gives a good rundown of what to do/not do. Goodluck!

I thought about that, but I'm not sure about the fine line between making it interesting enough to get their attention, vs... "oh, right. another resume. right then." *puts under the pile* You're probably right though. Argh. The one instance where my detail-oriented nature gets in the way.

Absolutely, anything that might help. Thank you very much! Feel free to send it along ^_^
