Fashion do's for 2016...

-
First off, a very happy new year from everyone here at the Lady Boys of Bangkok cabaret show! We hope you had a fabulous end of 2015 and a not to hungover start to 2016. We are actually 7 hours ahead here in Thailand, so we were celebrating/being hungover way ahead of you guys - and we're also effectively time travellers - just saying (yes, the below parody of Back to the Future was created just for that terrible joke).


Excuses to photoshop Ole into hilarious situations aside, in case you didn't notice it's a brand new year and with a brand new year comes a brand new set of fashion trends to sink your teeth into. So, stop listening to Justin Beiber, peel yourself away of Celebrity Big Brother, forget about North Korea and the possible nuclear destruction of the free world - kick back and let us show you some of our favourites.

Number 1 on the list - Tie-Dye - that's right, this 60's throwback is making a 00's comeback with countless models rocking the catwalk is these distinctive groovy colours.


Never mind Tie-Dye, did you know that the firework costumes from last years Lady Boys of Bangkok production were hand painted? That's what we want to see the return of!


Now we're not saying we called it last year, but it's not a coincidence that Natty here is wearing what is penned as one of this years hottest fashions - pleats. Some people say they are a bit on the preppy side, but if it looks good, who cares!


BOLD JEWELLERY! We here at the Lady Boys of Bangkok know a thing or two about jewellery that makes a statement - take Jennifer necklace and headdress from last years Frozen number for example. Apparently the world is following suit with bold, statement jewellery being just one of the many trends to hit this year!


We hope all our fans and future fans have an amazing 2016, we for one can't wait to bring our brand new production 'Forever Yours...x' to cities and theatres all across the UK. Tickets are on sale now on our brand new website www.ladyboysofbangkok.co.uk or by calling 0871 705 0705.

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

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 .
