This spread from Hercules issue 9 is a lively collection of lusty clowns, big burlesque girls and piled-high hair. The [non-conventional spread](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asos-inspired-by) simply screams fun, making my last party seem like a complete yawnfest.

Complete with [cross-dressing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren), Mickey Mouse ears and [couture clowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-looks), this spread may be a little on the weird side, but it's a completely blast! Check out the featured gallery for a sneak peek at what Hercules issue 9 has to offer.
