There was a model at the video shoot yesterday who was terrified of clownsUnfortunately for her, 2/3rds of the scenes involved the band members in creepy clown masks. We managed to keep her separate from the masks for the most part, but there was an 'incident' where someone was pranking a band member by wearing one, and she saw. Poor girl lost it, and ran off crying.
It's hard to understand just how crippling a proper phobia can be when you don't have one.

I love those spray painted statue people.Purely because back home everyone looks at them with utter disdain and hope they fall over, whereas if there's one on Northumberland Street up here about four hundred people stop in wonder going "is it a real person? Is it a statue? This is a-MAZING!".

Needles, because it's like trying to thread a needle, and thread snaps, and the thread is what is letting blood go into my arm or my hand or whatever, and it needs the blood, it will die without it. And I have no idea how on earth it would re-attach if itcomes appart inside you. And they hurt, a bit, well, if you don't have emla creme.
And eyeballs, eyeballs should be inside eye socets 100% of the time, minus pugs and camilians. I heard that pugs eyes sometimes falls out and I don't want one now because I'd have to pop it back in.
