China Glaze CIRQUE DU SOLEIL™ Collection

-
The China Glaze CIRQUE DU SOLEIL™ Collection certainly looks as good as it sounds doesn't it? We were super excited to see the launch of this range at Gandey World Class Productions HQ. It's quite simply the epitome of everything we believe in - The beauty, the glamour, the colour and the glitz of big top productions!

Cirque Du Soleil™ is a dramatic mix of circus acts combined with street style entertainment. Capturing the essence of its origins in traditional circus techniques bought into the modern day with exotic style and sophistication, it is clear the the China Glaze Cirque Du Soleil™ Collection has ticked every box imaginable for this collaboration. China Glaze haven't just released the collection because the show is so utterly brilliant mind, it's actually in homage to the new Cirque Du Soleil™ movie that hit the cinema's at the very end of 2012. Cirque Du Soleil: Worlds Apart is a film which follows a young couple who are separated and journey through the astonishing and dreamlike worlds of Cirque du Soleil™ to find each other. Audiences can enjoy the Cirque Du Soleil™: Worlds Apart experience in the immersive 3D technology, that will allow them to leap, soar, swim and dance with the performers. It sounds brilliant doesn't it?!

The China Glaze Cirque Du Soleil™ collection features enticing shades such as 'Creative Fantasy' and 'Def Defying' which are superbly colourful in their own right, but our hearts belong to the stunningly glitzy 'Running in Circles' and 'Water You Waiting For' which are both absolutely fabulous! The show stopped of the collection has to be 'It's a Trap-eze' though which it's creamy consistency containing big chunks of colourful glitter. It reminds us a little bit of the W7 Lava Flow polish which is a very exciting 'dupe' for the Nails Inc 'Sprinkles' range. The China Glaze Cirque Du Soleil™ collection also features a wonderful range of eyelashes too.

This got us thinking about the range of possibilities we could start to brain storm for some of our shows, I mean imagine how amazing a range of make up would be for The Lady Boys of Bangkok, particularly with their Glamorous Amorous 2013 Tour Or even the Chinese State Circus™ could produce an awesome range for occasions like Chinese New Year and the like, with traditional colours like red, gold and yellow being the predominant shades! We'd better get our thinking caps on....

A brief history of clowns to celebrate Andreea's birthday!

Hip hip hooray! It’s our crazy clown Andreea’s birthday! The lovable Andreea has been appearing in shows with Gandeys Circus for nearly a decade. Now Andreea is actually French – so perhaps we should say ‘bon anniversaire’! We’re proud to have Andreea as part of our current team in the big top at Butlin’s Skegness . While our other clowns – currently performing at Butlin’s Bognor Regis and Minehead – Bippo and Chico Rico are more traditional, Andreea opts to show off her sense of style with an offbeat modern look. We think her pink tutu / Converse / blazer combo is pretty iconic… especially paired with her blasting boombox! (she’s never been shy of making an entrance). Andreea likes interrupting the action with her silly routines. And you know something else… she is the UK’s only female clown! So you could say she’s a bit of an innovator when it comes to clowning around. With that in mind, let’s look at how much clowns have changed ov

Origins of the Chinese Circus

200 BC – 200 AD – Han Dynasty, Sichuan Province – Juggler with balls and knives – Carving, stone of the “Hundred Games.” [source: Chinese Acrobatics Through The Ages, p15] The origins of the Chinese circus are not entirely crystal clear. There are debates and differing opinions when it comes to the exact history behind the circus, which is not a surprise when you take into account how long it has been around! First records of the Chinese circus - including carvings and mural paintings - date back more than 2,000 years to the Warring States period (475–221 BC), with evidence of performances developing further during the Qin and Han Dynasties (221 BC - 230 AD). Although it is believed that the art may have actually started around 3,000 years ago! One theory is that the acts originated in imperial courts, with performers entertaining the houses in a manner similar to western court jesters. However, it is more likely that the circus was a folk art that was later adopted by

In honour of International Women's Day and the 'Women in Circus' movement, we would like to share these photos of strong women with whom we have worked - past and present. Women who inspire us here at Gandey World Class Productions , and who influence and empower other women across the world. There are many strong circus women who we have not mentioned here. Please be aware that this list is by no means definitive – there are so many more strong women whom we would have loved to include, and who remain an important part of the Gandey family. The pictures can also be found in a Flickr album here .
