FASHION: Kimono Crazy

-

Kimonos are a hot trend this season, hurrah!


If there's one thing the Lady Boys of Bangkok adore doing whilst in the UK it's SHOPPING. Each city has it's own haven of high street joy for the glamorous group to peruse and purchase, and it's no wonder when the UK High Street is so HOT right now (not temperature wise, of course). Autumn is now upon us and it's time to think about layering up and looking gorgeous at the same time, and what better way to do that than with a beautiful bold kimono?! Kimonos are a go-to garment for most seasons - whether it's lazying around a pool in the evening as the sun sets, or a night out on the tiles as the season changes, they're perfect for throwing on and keeping the breeze at bay. 

Here's a beautiful selection of Kimonos you can find on the UK High Street right now!

Fashion blog post; Kimonos a hot trend for Autumn/Winter 2013 www.gandeyworld.com
Blue Block Print 3/4 Sleeve Kimono Jacket £40
Black floral kimono £16
Black Waterfall Kimono Tassle Cardigan £25
Pink Smudge Print Sheer Kimono £30

With prices in this selection starting at a mere £16(!!) alongside the range of bright, bold and beautiful designs on display, it's no wonder than Kimonos are going to be MASSIVE this season. No longer an item for traditional Japanese wear, the kimono can be dressed up or down for any occasion!

How will you wear yours?

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

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
