So what to wear?

just wondering if you have a "outfit" that you wear while twisting, or if you dress as a clown... etc?

I found this on Cafepress.com

I believe a twister has to stand out in a crowd, so watch the colors of my outfit (protect your eyes...)
This is the outfit I generally use outdoors


This is the outfit I wear the most and like the best. It's more for indoor events


But I'm flexible, I can were everything the customer wants me to. Except for a tuxedo, that's were I draw the line. But that's only because I don't own a tuxedo, if they are willing to pay for it I put one on, no problem.

I forgot to mention that my wife made these outfits, she also made my busking bag (wich is not on these pics). I have to mention it or else she will never make me anything again.....

Here is my clown costume.  I haven't figured out what to where yet if someone doesn't want a clown.  I figure my fashion sense is quirky enough their must be SOMETHING in my closet that would be suitable.

I dress in a suit when I make balloons.  I try to convey professionalism and I am trying to get balloon artistry away from the "clown" image.  Nothing wrong with clowning, but clowns have been used for years in the States to give away things (such as handout for car dealers).  People who see a clown often think  "free give away".

Since I have taken this attitude, I have been able to increase my price nearly 50%.

Here is me as a clown "Professor Winston P. Gigglesnort the 3rd",  It is an older photo back to 1993.  I just wanted to show I don't hate clowns.  I was President of my Clown alley the next year.

I'm still working on my costume but so far I've got a grey suit jacket, a white button-up shirt with rainbow strips, a crazy pink tie which I tie in a VERY big knot, and a balloon hat(well actually I make that just before the gig so I don't actually currently have one). I'm thinking for my pants I'm going to wear some kind of crazy golf pants.
