How to Pick a Clown Costume

Video Transcript

"On behalf of Expert Village, my name is Paul Anderson from the ABC Circus, here in Hollywood, Florida. We're going to do, How to be a Clown. So what kind of costume are you going to wear? This is kind of an Auguste, a combination Tramp Auguste. It works for me, and I feel very comfortable in it. I wear a full unitard to keep all the body sweat contained on one piece; It's easier for maintenance. Remember, you're going to have to maintain your costume, at least wash it once in a while. Well, there are a lot of different styles. This is the costume of a Court Jester, a medieval type of clown. Ha, ha, ha, a tri-jester hat. Perhaps we'll be a modern clown with a big modern hat and stuffed collar. As I mentioned earlier, this is the most famous of all; Harlequino ( known as Harlequin today), with his purple and silver diamond shapes. Of course a modern circus, or Mardi Gras."
