Design-O by Ann “Tuttles” Sanders An Interview with Richard Smith “First place Senior Makeup, Richard Smith.” When Competition Chair Cathy “Tots” Mackey spoke those words April 24, 2010, during the awards ceremony at the COAI Convention, a new page was added to the COAI History Book. Richard “Design-O” Smith of Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, holds the distinction of being the only member of COAI to have captured first place in every COAI makeup category. His first Top Ten came in the White Face Makeup category in 1995 while attending the COAI convention in Houston, Texas. Appropriately, he completed the monumental task in Houston at the 2010 convention. When asked about his historic journey into the record books, Richard said, “When I began clowning, I was a member of Classy and Sassy of Massy - Alley #232. One of the members told the Alley about a cancer treatment center for children and suggested the Alley help raise money for the center. In order to make the fundraiser a success, it was recommended we attend the (1992) South Shore Joey’s Winter Weekend Seminar in Plymouth, Massachusetts.” “I was encouraged to enter competition so I could be critiqued by the judges. Truthfully, I had no idea what an Auguste or White Face was. I hadn’t read the rules. I thought all you had to do was put a face on.” ”I didn’t think it mattered what the design looked like or even if it was a different face each time you put on makeup. I was however, always particular about costumes.” “I entered Auguste and wore a costume I had made. For my makeup I put white in the center of my face with Auguste behind it, put blocks of color over my eyes, and wore a nose.” “Jeanne Woska (COAI’s 2010 Clown of the Year) was one of the judges. She wrote on her judge’s sheet, ‘Do you want to be a White Face or an Auguste? One or the other is trying to fight to get out. Make a decision.’” “I asked Jeanne what she thought of my face. She looked me straight in the eye and said, ‘Do you really want to know?’” “When I assured her that I did, she proceeded to tell me, continued on page 5 “Clowning Is A Blessing” His attraction to clowning started in 1966 when he assisted his magician brother, James, at birthday party performances. He made his own costume, never talked while on stage and always had a different look each time he got into makeup. Below: Richard looks in a miror at his 2010 1st place Senior Senior Makeup costume.
