Another surprise moment in my 51 years of being Bingo the clown. While at my eye doctor's office, I made a balloon Mandolin for the receptionist. She remembered that Bingo the clown had made that for her when she was 8 in 2004 and asked if I was Bingo! I really knew it was me when she said she still had the photo button of us that I gave her. When I went on my next visit to the doctor, she showed me the photo button! Then I noticed that I had put a ladybug on her nose. I have always had a ladybug on my nose since 1975. The first one was painted on (without powdering it) and I used to touch noses with the birthday child to transfer it. When that seemed unsanitary, I sometimes gave the child a ladybug sticker. Now I do not do as much clowning, but I still put a ladybug on my Safari Bingo nose. I am 992 months old and hope to keep a lucky ladybug on my nose for many years to come! LOL

When you are feeling stressed , this is a fabulous book to sit own and read a few chapters .Even reading some or all of these 100 chapter titles is worth thinking about

Read on and you will see why entertainers using live animals need to charge more! Hedgehogs are very messy animals. Definitely party poopers! They need their cage and wheel and their fingernails cleaned daily and need a bath before each show to defecate! The hamsters need cages cleaned every 2 weeks using a scraper to remove the dried urine. The doggy needs constant care, grooming, teeth brushing, and walking, Vet bills are high especially for the hedgehog as it is an exotic animal. Purchasing hedgehogs is around $250-300. I try to get rescued animals. Of course, there is the expense of food and accessories. Traveling with animals in very warm weather is a problem. I carry ice packs in their cages! The good thing is that all expenses for animals in your show are deductible. For more info contact me at www.partyco-op.com

Hugs and love to my daughter who sent me her handmade gifts for my belated Christmas /80th birthday ! April just started learning Needle Felting figures and did a FABULOUS job! She made me in my Bubbleologist costume, a darling ladybug and a hedgehog and also sent a lovely card and Hedgie ornament. Thanks so much April for a great job and caring thoughts. I am attaching a video if anyone is interested in how this is done. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnkVLApVejc

Just found the lost photos I had of a great memory! While clowning at a gig at Madigan's restaurant in 2015, Linda Williams approached me and asked if I was clowning in 1992! She fondly remembered a Bingo the Clown at her 4th birthday who gave her this photo button which she still had!!! She mailed me the picture of the button and even told me about some of the tricks I did and how she loved the bunny. We took a photo together now that she was 26! When I got home, I looked up her booking slip and sure enough she remembered correctly! I have a 6 ft. file cabinet of 4 drawers and it is filled with every booking slip I did for myself and others I booked since 1975!! I have fun now when people call from the past and say, "Oh you won't remember me but. my name is....." I stop and say hold on please and I run to my cabinet and pull out their booking slip and ask them about their child or dog or whatever is on the slip and they are shocked! I tell them my secret as I wish I was like my friend JoAnne who has a superior memory and can remember all her friends from her Kindergarten class! Now that I have been entertaining 48 years, I love it when so often I meet grown adults who remember me from their childhood birthdays. Knowing that I made them happy makes me feel very thankful that I can still do this.
