    Don't think that this "imaginative make-up" is found only on the continent of Africa.

    I present to you "The Juggalos". This subculture began and is found primarily in the USA. See:

    "Beautiful" doesn't begin to cover it. Enchanting. Captivating. What's a word for magical and graceful that hasn't been imprinted to death on a charm bracelet?

    Breath-holding delightment of laughing beauty...

    7:03 PM Anonymous: I have followed your links and I find your comparison distasteful.

    To compare Juggalos to the children pictured here is to compare Play-Doh to marble. Or CheeWhiz to Red Leicester.

    I hope you offered the comparison as a joke.
