Unknown: Hi, I'm Michelle Pears, and I live in Sorell.
So I'm Michelle from Sorell.
I make a living out of being a children's entertainer.
So I'm usually buzzing around as Mrs Bee or fluttering off as the
Purple Fairy.
Going to schools as Scarecrow doing make believe on the farm
shows.
I'm a singer songwriter. So I've written songs since I was a
little girl.
I'm hear in the purple house.
That Mr Pears and I built just out of Sorell, on the banks of
the Orielton rivulet.
When I first found this little paddock, I walked over the bank
and here were five swans swimming down the rivulet, and I
just knew that this was my place.
I'm lucky to be able to look out the back window and there is the
rivulet.
The Purple Pear Cottage is full of pears, I have a pear
collecting fetish.
I also sing in a jazz band called ThylaSwing.
And my jazz band members can also double up and come in and
perform with make-believe as we did at the Taste of Tasmania,
this year.
We were Mrs. B and the Jazz Bugs.
I've got three rooms of costumes and retro outfits. So I would
say I have a bit of a problem.
I'm a bit of a hoarder with costumes. I think all up I would
have thousands and when I'm too old to be bouncing around or
buzzing around as a bee, I think I'll open my own costume shop.
Bzz bzz bzz. Good morning. Are you ready to have fun?
The most popular character that I do, and I think she's my
favorite, is Mrs Bee and keeping that buzz going as Mrs Bee, I
need lots of coffee.
Bzzz and sing together.
On the way home I often call into the supermarket to get my
groceries dressed in my uniform, which can be a fairy, might be
Mrs Bee, might be Rainbow the Clown.
We'll all have fun with Mrs. Bee.
During COVID-19, I decided to not put myself hid under the
pillow and cry because I couldn't go out and perform.
So I created a magic land in my back bedroom.
The world of make believe was going to go online and I've had
children watching from all around Australia.
It's been very exciting.
Come on in to my make-believe grden. It's make-believe with
rs. Bee.
I'm the most, probably, famous clown in Sorell but there are
quite a few others living in Sorell, I think.
Don't sing through your nose. Th t's not where it goes.
Yes, I'm very much a clown.
I like to see the funny side of things. We shouldn't take life
too seriously.
