I got my first real clown doll today! I haven’t named him yet, but he’s from a Mardi Gras celebration set and he came with a little sash that said “New Orleans”! I’m so happy with the look and texture, I know the picture isn’t great, I’m new to the community and to taking good pictures, but I just wanted to share!

Hello! Im kinda new to this community and just kinda wanted some help around these parts slsks. Ive been interested in and have loved clowns for so long, and when i found this community i was so happy!!! are there any tips to new people of this community you would give out or share? if not, all is swell!!

I’m not sure what you mean by community. I’m going to assume you mean the small part of tumblr who are clown enthusiasts. Or clown enthusiasts in general.

For that I’d just say:

To find more content, look through clowncore tag.

When making your own clown posts, the main tags to use are clowncore, clownblr, and clowns.

Don’t repost clown pictures that are from other users without asking. They might just be pictures of clown dolls from some point of view, but some clown blogs are amateur photographers and take what they do seriously.

When interacting with other users, just be really nice and positive!

If you wanna learn more about clowns and their art, you can always look it up! There are surprisingly many resources on it. And if you find something interesting, you can post it on tumblr and share it with other clown enthusiasts!

Do you like scary clowns? Great! Me too!! But that’s not the main focus of clown ethusiasts, so try not to post a buncha scary killer clowns in clown tags. It’s ok to talk about them on your clown blog of course!

Just be silly and funny and have fun.

For clown collectors, which is what I mostly do, here’s some little advice for that.

When looking for clowns don’t always rely on sites like Etsy, EBay, etc. You might end up spending than your have to. GO TO THRIFT STORES. Just because a clown is 5 dollars doesn’t mean it’s not a good clown!! Antique shops are another good place.

When taking pictures of your clown, try to make them aesthetically pleasing. It doesn’t have to be perfect and have filters. Lighting and angles are important.

Be curteous when talking about other people’s clowns. Clown collectors can be sensitive about them, and don’t always like when people say they’re ugly or scary. Do you wanna be silly about someone’s clown? Make sure they’re ok with their clown being insulted first, for instance I have clowns where I like to make fun of them (like Snozel).

Researching your clown is the best thing you can do. You might have interesting valuable one who knows!!

Look up how to properly clean your clown before doing it.

When naming your clowns, just have fun!!

As a fan of both clowns and Sanrio, I was so happy to discover that there is in fact a Sanrio clown character! I can’t seem to find much information about them, unfortunately, but they are so cute. Their name is ピエロ (Piero), meaning clown. Sorry if everyone already knows this, just wanted to feature it on my blog.

Little Miss

Her name is Little Miss, because she’s little, Mischievous. Her face says “I haven’t done a thing wrong ever!,” in an obvious lie. Little Miss has a middle aged male clown’s haircut, and a dress. Why? Because Little Miss doesn’t care, gender doesn’t apply to her. She can be whatever she wants, and no one can stop her. This clown is meant to spin her head around while Send In The Clowns plays. Unfortunately though, Little Miss is a bit broken, so her music box head spinning mechanic doesn’t work as well anymore. Poor Little Miss. She doesn’t care though, because she’s always up to something, and being broken ain’t gonna stop her!

This is my personal Spotify playlist that reminds me of clowns.

It is almost nothing but upbeat Jack Stauber music except; The Sign by Ace of Base, Genius of Love by Tom Tom Club, One Week by Barenaked Ladies, and a cover of Mama Mia. If there’s anymore songs that sounds like the music in this playlist, let me know so I can add it!!

A strange clown binded by fishing line and other string that was found in a Goodwill and given to me for my birthday. I plan to review this one once I untie them.

[clownreviews]

I love this tag cause my superstitious sister who found and gave me this clown ALSO thinks it’s cursed or some kind of binding spell. I guess we’ll find out!

Unbound the Clown

(A name has not yet been chosen)

Last night was The Great Unbinding. I gathered friends together late at night, as we recorded a video of my sister, her friend, and I, untying this clown. The video needs to be edited and shortened drastically before I can post it because it took a total of 50 minutes to untie this clown. The string around this clown was so tight and thick, hard to cut even with kitchen scissors. Three different strings were used to tie this clown. We took turns passing him between the three of us to saw the different strings off. As frustrating as it was, we had a lot of fun doing it! Like a big spooky Unbinding party! Here’s a picture of a Safeway bag filled with the string.

It’s clear now though, based on how hard it was to remove all this string, that whoever tied this clown up did not want it to be untied. I do not know why. My original theory is that the clown was broken underneath, and the string was to keep him from falling apart. My sister’s theory was that there was some sort of cursed object underneath, or that it was a “binding spell” but we were both disappointed to find nothing but a naked clown underneath...

To say the least, he seems like a normal clown underneath all the bindings. A foam torso, posable arms, ceramic hands and feet. That’s all we found. If you look at this in a superstitious point of view, perhaps it looks ordinary underneath all the bindings, but once unbound that’s when bad things slowly happen. But a night has passed and nothing happened so far. I’m going to take a skeptical stance on this until something significant does happen. Also I’d like to make a quick correction: this clown was not found in a Goodwill, but in a store called “Bargain Basement,” a large warehouse thrift store. My sister said there was many dolls, and this one was buried under a big pile of dolls. Also one of the only clowns.

But now for the moment you’ve all been waiting for, a picture of the clown unbound. Here’s him next to his spooky big brother, Boo Boo Junior.

As for the quality of the clown: he’s alright. He’s definitely interesting, but out of the context of his binding, he’s a pretty mediocre clown. His paint is pretty worn, but his colors are pretty cute. I feel bad for him that he was treated as such, so I wish to make him some clothes to put on his back, so that’s he’s proper and not so cold. Unfortunately I don’t know how to sew, so I’ll have to either figure out how to make clown clothes, or contact someone who knows. If anyone can help me with that, let me know! As for now he is a naked, and possibly cursed, mediocre clown.
