Figgy, I just so happen to share your same phobia about CLOWNS. There are only 2 things in my life I am absolutely scared of and they are Clowns and Rats. The worst was when I was in St thomas and looked down the alley and Saw a rat the size of a Jack Russell creep out from underneath a clown hat left from the Carnivale celebration. Yipes!!! It took hours of bar therapy to overcome that image! Anyway, what helps with me it to think of that loveable chronic clown in the Simpsons KRUSTY. His foul mouthed, smoking exterior takes the edge off the giddy demonic appearance of most clowns. So there. On the fashion sense, I think BH is right, I think if I drove about 20 miles outside of portland and on a mountain road and tried to sell BURberry. I am sure most would respond with "A'int it too late in the year to pick dem?" Or "Can you make a pie or jam out of dem?" Revel in your fashion sense and find granduer that you can replay a "sick" version of "Pretty in PInk". A teacher no less in the leading role...just simply stated...rocks! peace
