Elfing at Company Christmas Party

Christmas is Lovey's favorite time of year. Last night's event was spectacularly elegant. We, at Magic Ladder Entertainment, are always delighted with the places we have the opportunity to entertain and with how well our clients and their guests treat us! The most special part of last night's event for Lovey the Clown was having children recognize her as Lovey even without clown make-up. I think that makes her a real clown.

I hate to give away my costuming secret, but Barb is just too good not to share! I am sure anything she does for you would be totally original. So check her out.

Lovey the Clown had the best weekend evvvverr!!! Thursday was the start of it all at her favorite burger joint, Backyard Burger in Cumming where she ran into old and new friends. Too much fun with the tiger faces. And then, Hampton...always a hoot. Lovey loves Ben,Spen,Britt and Jen! You rock with rocket balloons and your friends are the coolest. Then on to the tea/pj party in Marietta with the sweetest girls ever. Lovey has the best job in the whole wide world. Hi Ju, Kiana and Akina. The sister's names are the same, but different. A clown's gotta love it. The Teagues, what a lesson in time management, thanks Barrett, Sarge and GG! Nicholas uraqt! My precious, precious Yaeger family. Lovey the clown can't remember ever being so happy and loved. What a thrill when sweet Jordan sang Hannah Montana with/for her friends and Tiger loved the rocket balloon.

Festival Season for Magic Ladder and Lovey the Clown

Wow! What a Fall Festival Season this has been for Lovey the Clown and Magic Ladder Entertainment. There have been no posts in over a month of festivals. Lovey has run into her new friend "Hamp" at the last three festivals. That is always a hoot to run into new and old friends while Clowning around. We'll do a better job of posting on the blog from today forward, even thought November and December are shaping up to be pretty action packed.

Thank you to Twinklz for always being a supportive and encouraging best friend!

Magical first Birthday with Lovey the Clown in Fairburn, Georgia

Huge first birthday celebrations are the coolest. The entire family, friends, church community joined together in celebration of little Rikeah's first birthday on Saturday afternoon in Fairburn, Georgia. The food was incredible, sweet Victoria. The guests were the warmest and friendliest! The enthusiasm and participation of the children blew Lovey the Clown away. Lovey the Clown says, "I love face painting, but I love it even more, when I see, out of the corner of my eye, kids flying by through a yard full of bubbles." Lovey loves for the kids to play while they wait their turn to be painted. The best part she says, is when they couldn't keep their seats during the magic show. Oh yes, and the boy that hugged her four times as Lovey was leaving. Nothing beats it when they look up and say, "I've always been afraid of clowns, but I love you!" Oh the joys of being a Clown.

Harbins Park - Where Lovey the Clown Plays

Happy Birthday Will, Lovey's newest clown friend and her dear, sweet friends Olivia Grace and Wendy! Lovey prides herself in being the Clown that kids and adults alike can not be afraid of, even if they try.

It breaks her heart that there are clowns out there in the world that frighten children, whether it's intentional or not. So, to Lovey's delight, by the end of the party, Will, Lovey and his guests were launching Rocket Balloons! Will was "doing the Allen"! Gotta love it. And we even got some excellent Photo Ops together. Thank you all for allowing Lovey the Clown to entertain your family and be apart of the celebration of your boy's special day. Yoshi, you are awesome, I enjoyed painting such a lovely canvas!

Magic Ladder Entertainment sends Lovey the Clown to Mix-It Up Camp Gwinnett County Georgia www.magicladderentertainment.com

Today is the last day of Mix-It Up Camp at Mountain Park in Gwinnett County, Georgia. Lovey the Clown will miss all of her new clown friends, but surely Lovey the Clown and her new friends will get together at other clown camps, festivals and birthday parties. Maybe some of the campers can do it again when Lovey and Magic Ladder Entertainment have Camp this fall at Shorty Howell Park in Duluth, Georgia. Lovey taught the kids the different types of clowns, she taught the campers how to make balloon animals, creative movement, and there was even a day when everyone became clowns! One of the most important things we learned at Camp is to "PLAY" hard everyday. Everyone of the campers are special to Lovey! Check back next week so you can see the photos of the awesome week of Clowning around. www.magicladderentertainment.com And don't forget to "bump a nose".

Lovey Face Paints and Clowns for Relay for Life Hall County

The best part about being a Professional Clown is the ability to express emotions and creativity. The face painting that goes along with it is the icing on the cake. On June 5, 2009, Lovey the Clown was blessed with yet another opportunity to experience and express every single emotion thanks to her being a part of Hall County's Relay for Life at the Atlanta Roadway. Perhaps the deepest emotion Lovey the clown felt and expressed while clowning at Hall County's Relay for Life was Gratitude! Gratitude for life, love and friendship. Gratitude for the Doctors and Nurses that fight our battle with us, for family members that love us well and gratitude for the art of clowning. Not many people expect to see clowns at a potentially somber event like Relay for Life, but Clowns express love, hope and joy. That's what Lovey expressed last night, as well as gratitude! Lots of tears were shed at the Relay for Life in Hall County, tears of sadness from missing someone that is no longer here and tears of joy for battles fought and battles won. Say yay for love, hope, joy and gratitude!

Lovey the Clown face paints for Gwinnett Chapter of Arthritis Foundation in Dacula Georgia

Magic Ladder Entertainment sends it's favorite clown to face paint at the Gwinnett Chapter Arthritis Foundation Walk in Dacula, Georgia. Lovey the clown's favorite part of the Gwinnett Arthritis walk was meeting her new friend Paige. The two new friends had to create and face paint a flower design moments before Paige took the stage to give a speech to the enormous crowd that gathered for the walk bright and early Saturday morning. Paige spoke eloquently regarding the challenges of Juvenile Arthritis while Lovey the Clown sent her love and confidence from the audience. Lovey's favorite part of the day was Paige's hug when she came down from the stage! and face painting the young star, of course.

There were so many memorable moments throughout the morning, dancing with the girls as American Idol Star, Diana Digarmo sang favorite songs. Gabbie, who was afraid of clowns, until she met Lovey! Was Lovey ever surprised to turn around and see Gabbie waiting in line to be face painted. Gabbie is extremely creative and decided she wanted to be painted like a fire star, together the two created an incredible design that got a great big "Wow" from Miss Gabbie! Another highlight of the day was the artist mom, who assisted Lovey in creating an Eagle design on her daughter's face. It was awesome! Thanks mom. The staff could not have been more accomodating and gracious. Lovey the Clown felt like a star all day! Lovey the Clown is so grateful to Lisa Bielstein, who organized the Gwinnett Arthritis Walk. What an awesome lady! Oh yes, Lovey the clown also had the good fortune to clown with Pizza and Nifty. Such kind, generous clowns. Santa Rusty got his groove on to the smooth vocals of Diana Digarmo.

It was a perfect day for clowning and walking for the awareness of Arthritis. It can effect anyone at any age! Luckily, there are Doctor's like Doctor Lawrence, who fights the battle with her patients. Dr. Lawrence' daughter, Shirley seemed to thoroughly enjoy hanging out with Lovey the Clown throughout the day. Shirley pretended she was at the spa each time she got her face painted. By the end of the day, Shirley's little sister allowed Lovey the Clown to paint hearts all over her face. What a perfect ending to a perfect day!

Barefoot in the Park

Thanks to everyone who joined Magic Ladder Entertainment, Lovey the Clown, Fan E. Tastic the face painter and Twinklz the Clown last weekend at Barefoot in the Park in the beautiful City of Duluth, Georgia.

I think the entire weekend served us with some powerful lessons on expectations, the art of being in the moment, valuing our service and talent and the necessity of pacing ourselves when we end a day at a festival with birthday party celebrations. We were blessed with perfect weather, even though the entire week we had heard predictions of rain. We all believe that we create our own reality. We prayed for beautiful weather and that's what we got. We also learned the value of blinging out our work area. We got tons of complements on our entertaining colorful stage that we created for Lovey, Twinklz, and Fan E. Tastic to perform in.

It was the first time that Lovey, Twinklz and Fan E. Tastic had ever worked an event together even though we are all crazy about each other and paint together at jams, and workshops all the time. This is where the lesson about expectations came to all of us. We had anticipated every aspect of the event all week long. Were we surprised when we found out that our "pay per face" vendor location was to be set up right outside the Children's Park where there were tons of "free" activities. Yes, "free" face painting, airbrush and temporary sticker tattoos.

Our first customer of this glorious morning greeted us with much disatisfaction and a raised voiced protest to our charging for face painting since the event web site stated the face painting was free! What on earth do we do? Well, I did the only thing I knew to do, as President of Magic Ladder Entertainment, Lovey the Clown painted the sweet child for "free". It wasn't full face and I don't do cheek art well at all! All I wanted was to make that little one smile and that is exactly what I did. They were both happy with the outcome and so was I. Sometimes we have to remember that we do what we do because we love it. And it's better not to have someone upset. The final result was that the mom found out the free stuff was inside the tent and came back late that afternoon to apologize.

That was the only conflict of the entire two day event and I truly believe it is because Lovey the Clown handled the situation with grace and dignity for Magic Ladder Entertainment and for that little boy and his mom! Now, about pacing ourselves, Lovey the Clown, Twinklz the Clown and Fan E. Tastic the Face Painter are working at staying hydrated and having their snackerel like they are supposed to. Lovey took time to snack and hydrate on the way to the birthday party and therefore did a fine job at Andrew and Anthony's house. Fan E. Tastic was left by herself to finish out the festival because both Lovey the Clown and Twinklz the Clown had to leave early to attend birthday parties in Atlanta. Aren't we lucky to stay so busy and for families to allow us to come into their homes to entertain family and friends! Fan E. Tastic had an enormous line for three hours, made lots of new friends.
