Travel Beauty Kit!

-
You may have seen over on Twitter that the Lady Boys of Bangkok have finally landed in the UK! It was a relatively smooth journey from the homeland of Bangkok for the glamorous Lady Boys, and of course they packed their travel essentials - starting off with that all important make up bag! Obviously for performances the Lady Boys like to glam their look up with as much glitter, colour and wow factor as they can squeeze on to their beautifully contoured faces, but for a 12 hour+ flight it seems the lighter the make up, the better! 

Here is a little wish list of the must haves for the gruelling journey:

lady boys of bangkok tour 2013 benefit, elf, kiko
Kiko BB Compact Glow
Benefit The Pore-fessional
Look Beauty Stretch Factor Mascara
ELF HD Blush
*NEW* Benefit Fake Up Concealer
We are lusting after each of these products to pop in our travel essential bag for a number of reasons. If you're out and about for hours on end then Benefit Porefessional is the must have to prepare your skin for the day ahead. It smooths out imperfections and acts as the perfect primer to make your foundation last the whole day and look completely flawless. Our choice of base comes in the form of the exciting Kiko BB Glow Compact, we have seen countless reviews of this saying what a wonderful all round product it really is, and an added bonus of this is the wonderful colour range that Kiko have in the collection, which suits the Lady Boys skin tone perfectly especially with there being darker variants to the range which can be used for contouring. To add a pop of colour we love the multi purpose product that is the ELF HD Blushes. They are marketed as being just a blusher, but their powerful pigmentation and creamy consistency makes them ideal to be used not only on the cheeks for a flush of colour, but can be built up on the lips for an added wow factor giving a long lasting powerful lip shade that doesn't dry out your lips. For the eyes we love the Look Beauty Stretch Factor mascara, we actually prefer this to our beloved Benefit They're Real mascara for use on a daily basis. It gives an equal amount of length and volume but it slightly more 'lightweight' when you're not out on the tiles (or performing to audiences on stage!) and at the price of £6 it's a bargain! And then back to Benefit wonder products with the brand new 'Fake Up' concealer. How great does this look for on the go touch ups?? A revolutionary design and formula which not only conceals your imperfections but also has a layer of skin benefiting goodness to keep your complexion in tip top shape underneath the make up.

The Lady Boys of Bangkok start their UK Tour on the 29th of March, with the awe inspiring Glamorous Amorous show in Derby! Buy your Lady Boys tickets online now!

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 .
