Angels in London....

-
Well last week saw the return of the Victoria's Secret Catwalk Show return to London - taking place this Tuesday gone at the fabulous Earl's Court in London! The world famous femme fatale's known as the Victoria Secret Angels descended on London to show off both the svelte figures and the fashion statements that are covering them! Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Doutzen Kroes, Candice Swanepoel, Lily Aldridge, Behati Prinsloo, Karlie Kloss, Elsa Hosk and Lindsay Ellingson were all there! 


All of the ladies looked undeniably gorgeous in their rather scimpy outfits and giant prop wings, but here's a pick of some of our favourite outfits from the catwalk!

First up we have the beautiful Candice Swanepoel (we're not sure how to pronounce it either), the golden angel (no pun intended) of the Victoria Secret girls. She rocked the catwalk donned in lavish golden wings and cream lingerie which we loved! But what pondering most intently is where we can get a pair of those glamorous boots, they certainly wouldn't look out of place on the Lady Boys of Bangkok stage!


This was another one of favourite costumes of the show - this angel was wearing a fabulously exotic ethnic outfit! You know we are rather partial to a colourful garment and this definitely ticks the box in that regard! Does this costume remind anyone of Jacqueline's tribute to Nicki Minaj from this years show?


Another outfit we loved was this devilishly delightful outfit worn by the beautiful Alessandra Amrosio! What springs to mind when looking at this outfit is Ole's outfit that she wore during this years show finale! Is Victoria Secret secretly paying homage to the Lady Boys of Bangkok? We certainly like to think so!
 

Last but in no way least we have this sultry silver number worn by Jourdan Dunn! We love this spage age fairy kind of look - especially how delicate the wings look! A costume for Trevor in next years production perhaps?? 

Well sadly all good things must come to an end, and much like the Victoria Secret Fashion Show The Lady Boys of Bangkok Red Hot Kisses tour has finished for the year! We humbly bowed to our audiences one last time and with a fabulous shimmy off stage the curtains drew for the last time in 2014. DO NOT FEAR however - we will be back in 2015 with are brand new show BEAUTIES AND THE BEATS bringing our audiences to the highest level of frantic fun that only the Lady Boys know how! See you all next year!! Mwaaaaaaah!

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 .
