Sunshine The Clown

Amazing. She just walked up to is and made the funniest collets balloon figure I’ve ever seen.

The first time I came across Sunshine was last winter, she was a elf; rosey cheeks and nose with her rhyming talk as she works on pet balloons. Recently we spotted her at Fisherman’s Wharf and Union Square.
I don’t have little kids but she’s one of San Francisco’s wonderful characters.

i agree totally.
sunshine is indeed the creepiest person i have ever seen. she definately gives clowns a bad name. this troll has no business being anywhere near children. we had a very similar experience with her today at the noe valley fair. she reprimanded no less than 5 children for doing nothing and several parents.
my kids sat patiently for at least 45 minutes before she announced who the next 4 or 5 children would be. mine werent included. i grabbed my daughter and a chair toppled over in the process. she stopped what she was doing (as she had done several times before) to ask me to fix the chair. as i was still holding my daughter, she asked again. i set my daughter down and said, i heard you the first time as i fixed it. she then asked the crowd to applaud daddy for being so polite. at this point, i chose to just walk away. the crowd looked on in horror at her.
i found another balloon animal twister a few booths down who immediately whipped out 2 animals for my kids. we walked back by creepy the clowns area and all the other parents from our crowd had also left.
worst experience my poor children have ever had.
i will also call the fair co-​ordinater to let them know.
stay as far away as possible.
one star because it wont let me do 0 stars. i would actually give negative stars if i could.

Sunshine is hands down the creepiest, scariest, and meanest clown I’ve ever encountered. It’s clowns like her that give kids clown nightmares, I’m not even joking.
She was working at the West End Festival in San Rafael today. My 4 year old son saw her making balloon animals, and he asked me if he could have one. I asked him to ask Sunshine if he could have one. You know what she said to him? «SIT.DOWN.And wait your turn, like everyone else.» in the coldest, most threatening tone I’ve ever heard anyone use with anyone else. My son found a chair and sat down obediently. My sister and I were in complete shock…
My sister has a 2 year old son who also wanted a balloon animal, so he found a seat next to my son. My sister’s son accidentally knocked down one of Sunshine’s small orange cones, and Sunshine nearly had a cow. She interrupted whatever she was doing, and yelled into the microphone, «Hey, Don’t knock over those cones!!» First of all, he wasn’t knocking over cones, he accidentally knocked over one cone, it was right next to the chair. Second, she wasn’t even using any of the cones for anything. they were just sitting there without any purpose.
At this point, I thought, «Wow, this lady does NOT like kids». Then, she starts her show, and asks the girl in front what her name is. the girl says, «Ruby». Then, Sunshine says, «Ruby, where are your parents? No answer from anyone. So, for the next couple of minutes, Sunshine keeps asking over and over, into her microphone, «Ruby’s parents, where are you? Ruby’s parents?» Ruby’s mom finally comes over (she was at a nearby booth), and then Sunshine starts to rhyme and make a balloon animal. A few minutes later, the balloon animal is done, and Ruby has a fabulous balloon bumblebee.
It was at that point, my sister and I realized, (1) Sunshine is too creepy, and (2) it would be about 40 minutes before either my son or my sister’s son might get a balloon animal from Sunshine. we pulled the kids out and left. I felt *really* bad for the kids; they really wanted balloon animals, and were willing to sit down quietly for so long, even after being mistreated by Sunshine. Fortunately, there was a cookie-​making table just across the way…
