Sarasota Livin'

I have seen something like that in a museum in Los Lanos de Aridane, La Palma, Spain, but there were some saints belonging to a far away century. They looked very real, alive I mean, since they were man height. I love them and I think they will love that as well.

[TALK] The Clown Doctor Is In: Due Mostly To Vandalism, Nine Clown Statues Have Needed Treatment In The Last Two Weeks

Frank Creaturo owns a downtown art gallery, but lately he’s spent much of his time in the medical field. Yesterday afternoon he fixed two cracks in Princess Cliffaget Calliroles’ leg, but that was just the first of three patients that day— Creaturo’s patients are the downtown clowns that are part of Tidewell Hospice’s “Clowning Around Town” program.

Two weeks ago, the program began displaying its 50 clown statues around the downtown Sarasota area. The clowns, which Tidewell Hospice will auction next May, have had a rough past fortnight. “It’s horrible what they’re doing, because it’s for the kids,” Creaturo says of the vandalism of the clowns. Props, such as a slingshot, a microphone and a cane, have been ripped off of different clowns. But Princess Cliffaget was the worst yet, Creaturo said yesterday.

“It looks like someone must have been swinging on it or standing from it,” he diagnosed from his art gallery turned emergency room. “They didn’t expect this much damage.”

I wish that the powers that be would have chosen something different like some character...maybe one of the characters from the Goodheart place fountain downtown. Well they didn't ask me. Send in the clowns.
