Last Minute Halloween Costumes

-
You were adamant you were staying in for Halloween weren't you? But suddenly fancy dress fever has hit and you're raring to get dressed up in your best, most creative outfit! Alas, the stores have sold out of all the fiendishly fancy witches outfits and there's not a single cauldron in sight.... You've taken some inspiration from our Halloween beauty bloggers challenge, but it's not quite ticking the boxes. 
So here's our:

 Last minute Halloween Costume ideas!




An obvious option for your Halloween Fancy Dress this year is becoming a Lady Boy! Literally! One of the acts in this years Lady Boys of Bangkok show features the fabulous half male half female costume. This would be super easy to achieve, all you'd need is some male and female clothing you don't mind cutting in half. Perhaps get a friend to join in to, so the other half of the clothing isn't wasted!


Along the same theme, the human chameleon also known as Lady Gaga has stepped out this week with a rather sophisticated looking moustache. We're not quite sure what the theme behind this outfit is, but we love it! Slick your hair back and pop on your best facial hair ladies!


You could also go for a subtle Poison Ivy inspired make up look similar to the one Phee created as part of our Halloween Make Up Challenge. We love this look as it's so glamorous and pretty yet still keeps within the Halloween theme without being scary at all!


And for any men who fancy being hilariously ironic by doing the 'anti costume, costume' here are our two favourite last minute 'costumes' for you! The 'nudist on strike' T Shirt really tickled us, and if you're a fan of the American version of 'The Office' then you would have seen Jim Halpert rocking the classic 'Face Book' costume as seen below.

What are you dressing up as for Halloween 2013?

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

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 .
