I am running away to join the circus

These pictures are making the rounds but had to share in case some of you haven't seen them, I am currently planning a circus themed party for my niece (she is turning one, she won't care but I do) so I am thinking I need a showgirl outfit. I nearly bidded on a 1930s one about a month or so ago on eBay wish I had now! 











Oh and some images from one of my favourite Burton films, which is also circus related, love a theme don't we?








Circus girl images found here and Big Fish images via google.

  1. Those old circus photos are amazing. Tell us about the outfit you almost bid on, it sounds amazing. I've never thought about searching for old costumes before.

  4. What a grand idea for your niece's bday, but perhaps try to avoid any clowns. You would look amazing in a vintage showgirl outfit; I hope one turns up for you. Love these photos, especially the gal in the bunny ears.

  9. I think I need to see Big Fish again, because I saw it when it first came out and didn't care for it too much! That must be wrong, somehow, because it always looks so pretty in pictures!

  10. When I was little I actually wanted to run away and join a circus. Then I found out that my great-grandfather had worked at a circus - with big cats! I guess it lies in the blood... :)

    Rachel: Oh do give it a second try if you don't like it you can yell at me, I love it. I am very daydreamy though.

    Miss Meadows:Oh wow do you have any photos of your great grandfather at the circus? definitely must be in your genes!

    Have you seen I'm No Angel? Mae West plays a lion-tamer/"hoochie coochie" dancer.
