...two pairs of special made clown shoes, one a pair of size seventeen hightop boots with a yellow saddle and green toes and heels and green laces, the other bubble toed red Mary Janes covered with white polka-dots.
"Oh good!" said Samantha as she picked up the green and yellow shoes. "Now our costumes are complete!"
Samantha and Ruby were semi-professional clowns. They had gotten into the hobby a few months ago and were now at the stage where they were buying the more expensive custom made stuff.
"Let's put them on now!" said Ruby.
"Yes, but first let's put on makeup and the rest of our outfits," replied Samantha.
The two girls got out their makeup case and began applying greasepaint. Samantha painted white around the hollows of her eyes and her mouth. Next she patted her face with a powder puff, then brushed away the excess powder. Inside her muzzle, she painted a red smile and a small red dot on her chin. Powder then brush. Inside her white eyepatches she shaded the lids orange then mascaraed her eyelashes. Samantha poured pink greasepaint into the palm of her hand, which she then applied over the rest of her face. Powder then brush. Finally she painted black arched eyebrows over her white patches.
Ruby was also apllying greasepaint to her face, but in her case she applied white paint all over her face. Then she powdered and brushed like Samantha, and applied the rest of her face-blue triangles underneath her eyes, a dainty red mouth over her lips, and arching black eyebrows. She also painted pink hearts over her cheeks.
Their makeup done the two girls next glued on red clown noses-Samantha's was nearly the size of a tennis ball and bright red while Ruby's was smaller and covered with red glitter.
After the two pinned up their hair Ruby pulled on a white hood that covered her red hair and neck the roommates put on two curly clown afro wigs-Samantha's was green with orange highlights while Ruby's was fire engine red. After Ruby put on long fingerless white gloves that reached her elbow they put on the rest of their costumes-Samantha a green dress covered with pink roses and an lace orange apron, then pinn a pink prose on either side of her wig. Ruby got into a similar dress of red covered with white polka-dots border with white lace and a white apron. Both pulled on white gloves, then color codinated petticoats, bloomers, and socks.
As they put on their new clown shoes....
