About
I have been face painting and balloon sculpting since 1999. I was Blinkee the Clown up until 2015 and now entertain out of costume as Mz. Donna. I’ve entertained for numerous different events through the years, birthday parties, company events, day care centers, grand openings, nursing homes, festivals and fairs.
I need nothing but space, I bring everything with me including chairs. Payment is received at the end of the party. No deposit required. Acceptable payments are cash or Venmo or Zelle. I also confirm the Wednesday before your event to make sure everything is all set. Thumbtack supplies most of the information.
The only information I would need, would be the birthday child’s name and age and the address of the party. I can then send you a confirmation and put you in my schedule. Thank you

We had the absolute pleasure of having Mz. Donna at our community cookout. She was hands-down the highlight of the entire event! She brought so much joy, energy, and vibrant color to our gathering. Her facepainting is true artistry, the designs were absolutely stunning, detailed, and exactly what the kids asked for. From animals to fun swords and crowns, her balloon twisting kept the kids captivated and thrilled.
Mz. Donna has a magical way with children. She was incredibly patient, kind, and kept a warm smile on her face the entire day, even with a long line of excited kids! She arrived on time, completely prepared, and brought a wonderful, upbeat energy that elevated the whole atmosphere of our event and most of all, created wonderful memories. We can't wait to have her back!
