98 Ways to Be Unidentified

From Camouflage Body Painting to Creepy Clowntography

— April 22, 2010 — Unique
I’m going to come clean: my biggest fear isn’t heights, Entourage being canceled or even death. It’s clowns--yes clowns. I don’t know, it’s something about the unknown. Just who is that unidentified man in the makeup and big floppy shoes, and why is he smiling at me? Other times, the unknown is cool, and makeup, Halloween costumes and cosplay are all fine by me. Check out this collection of ways to be unidentified, which ranges from creepy clowntography to masked musicians.
