|| Behind painted smiles (Part 2) || ⭕Clowns are one of the most misunderstood portrayals in history. Hollywood movies, musicians and writers have done its fair share to daunt and misrepresent clowns. They now have an objectified name specifically for fear called Coulrophobia. So what if bank robbers and serial killers dress up as clowns, they also wear sports mask and President's faces. But, whether it be entertaining a child's birthday party, blowing balloons at a street corner, being chased by angry animals in a ring, or kicking each other in a circus, clowns are a part of life. Always adding humor and laughs for us at their own expenses. Try googling a clown's job description. Yet an international franchise like McDonalds is rolling in billions using a them as their mascot. ⭕Susan is 69 yrs old. Last year, she was forcefully retired from her job of 37yrs without a decent pension. Her 73 yr old husband was bedridden after a stroke. He is a veteran. Even with their pensions and social security, they could barely make ends meet with the rising cost of healthcare and overall the cost of living. Susan now works as a low-paid greeter at Walmart and moonlights as a clown. This is her story. She is a clown. You can either laugh at her or fear her......
