Clowning Around In Times Square
Street Performers often gravitate to Times Square, New York City, where the nightlife is booming even on a cold day. You can hear musicians trying out their new lyrics, you take a photo with the Lady Liberty, someone dressed in the Statue of Liberty outfit, or see the Naked Cowboy in his undies. Last Fall, I saw a one-woman clown act. The exposure was tempting to this performer, however since the New York crowd is tough, she had to stand on her head to attract attention.
