Twinkles has
been clowning around and bringing joy to the world
for over 28 years. Twinkles inherited her funny
bone from her mom - Jingles (in Missouri since
1989).
In 1984 Twinkles won 2nd Place at the World Clown
Association Convention for MakeUp and Costume in
the Whiteface Category.
Twinkles' has two main goals:
(1) to provide quality family entertainment and
(2) to provide positive memories that will last a
lifetime!
Twinkles has attended five clown camps at the
University of Wisconsin at LaCrosse Wisconsin,
learning lots from masters like Lou Jacobs, Mark
Anthony, Buttons, Pricilla Mooseburger, and many
more. Half Pint has also been an incredibly
inspiring role model. All were Ringling Brothers
clowns with BIG hearts, BIG talents and a HUGE
willingness to share. Clown Camp at the University
Wisconsin-La Crosse is the largest clown training
program in the world. Clown camp began in 1981 and
was held every year in the summer; 2009 was the
LAST year Clown Camp was held at LaCrosse.
Twinkles has developed skills through frequent
attendance of World Clown Association Conventions,
Clowns of America Association Conventions, local
training sessions and regional conferences.
Twinkles believes clowning is about face painting,
magic, balloon art, respectful interaction, and
most of all, wholesome and fun entertaining!
Twinkles’
party children remember her fondly into their
adulthood and love running into her 5, 10, and 15
years later. They tell her she is one of their most
cherished childhood memories. These “grown up
little kids” greet her with squeals of delight and
warm hugs, often sharing pictures of their own
children with her.
In 1993
Twinkles won recognition for the BEST Business Plan
at TVI-Albuquerque submitted to SCORE!
Twinkles'
carries a two million dollar liability
policy.
