Autumnal Fashions....

-
You may be clinging desperately onto the last remnants of Summer but Autumn is most definitely upon us with a couple of Tuesdays ago marking the beginning of  Autumn Equinox. No more long warm nights, no more summer clothes and no more cheaper heating bills - the last one of which hurts us the most....BUT don't despair, Autumn has it's own merits - there's.....those....errrrm....beautiful colours and....you know....the....crunch of leaves under foot - but most importantly of all there's a chance to change up your fashion décor with a more wintry aesthetic. If  crunchy leaves and colder fashions have got you a least a little bit more excited for the winter don't you worry - The Lady Boys of Bangkok have got you covered with our breakdown of the hottest fashion trends circling the runway - the web and our wardrobes over the next few months.

Number one on the trend setters Autumn wish list is the rather asymmetrical solo earring; this rebel chic is all the rage with celebrities and models this autumn. The lonesome ear look has been rocked by Cara Delevingne the modelling worlds current it girl and even the more classy and debonair Emma Watson has taken the the red carpet with the look. However unusual an asymmetrical look may look (showing off the vocabulary there) in this relatively symmetrical world, we here at Lady Boys HQ rather like the look. Too many of today's high fashion trends never make their way to the high street, but with celebrity endorsement from fashion icons like Emma Watson we hope this one does, and the ladies love a bit of difference in their attire so watch out for those solo earrings glistening in future shows.



BELTS....who doesn't love a good belt? It one of the accessories that can make an outfit...adding or subtracting colour accordingly and tying an outfit together with some midriffing originality. Belts are also on the conveyor belt of 'in' this Autumn, we weren't entirely aware that they were ever 'out' but the internet assures that they are most certainly 'in'. All this inning and outing may have you macarena-ing all over the shop, but before you shake it all about take what do you think to our favourite belts of the season? Slightly lacking if exposed to elements - but they certainly fit the bill for us inside the Sabai Pavilion!

We also loved Abbey Clancey's daring belt/dress combo on the Pride of Britain Awards red carpet - very Aztec-y (definitely a word), wonder if they sell them in Primark?


Now our last ear to ground fashion tip we is colour themed - now those of you who have seen our shows may have noticed that there is a faaaaiiiirrlly significant splash of Pink in our costumes - lighting and basically everything...needless to say WE LOVE PINK. It therefore gives is great pleasure to announce that Pink is in this autumn - not just any pink mind you, no no. The rather subdued pale Pink is the colour of choice, so keep that In mind the next time you think that pink may be to garish for an outfit....and just to let you know the Pink Tartan Skirt coupled with a Pink Beret is a timeless look - but shhhhhh don't tell anyone!

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

-
Image
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 .
