Pomp and Spectacle #2


............................this what I was given to wear! (the boots I already had).
And judging from the costumes worn by Miss Escobar and Mr. Weiss in the picture shown below, the same guy who came up with this piece of crap is still with the show.

Whatever tribulations that might lie ahead for Ken & Nicole, they will never be considered "wardrobe poor".

We were graciously granted the priviledge of seeing the Ringling Wardrobe warehouse during the CHS convention in Sarasota. What a fantastic collection of history that will never be touched again. I believe they told us there was something like 200 elephant blankets hanging up. The racks were 4 or 5 high. There was an unbelievable amount of wardrobe still in existance. No photos were allowed due to arrangements with Disney and the Ice Shows. Talk about a kid in a candy store, that was it. Incidentally when the costumes do finally meet their demise, the units are incinerated so that no one gets their hands on them again.
This brings the question of why with all of this in existance would there not be anything remotely close in use today? Yes Rhinestones, sequins, and spangles cost more than sweatsuits, but you already have them, why not utilize the costumes? I know the rhinestones and sequins get ripped off and used over.
Alas, that's just my take on the situation.

Besides hateing the color orange, Buckles even you can not make this piece of crapp look good. I think I would have let one of the elephant find it in the hay stack.

Poor John Weiss. He's a hard working guy for sure, but apart from the wardrobe that makes Carson/Barnes look like a Zigfeld production, he does a warm up in the pre-show, balancing a borrowed sneaker on his nose. I guess the era of the elegant ringmaster is gone too. Sigh!

Honest, I am not making this up, but psychologists think the color orange makes people feel hungry (and buy more food).

Can we just call them "psychos" for short?

When I bought my ticket, I was hoping to see mysterious, exotic, beautiful, daring, heroic, or something, please, from outside my neighborhood. Those performers whose personalities more than fill the ring don't need to be cut down to size with what looks like a strange day at the clearance racks.

Not you, not you! You could make anything look powerful [backing out of the room hastily]...Lotl.

I just looked at the t-shirt I was talking about with the funny farm printing. My God it is ORANGE with GREEN letters. I will send a picture to Buckles, not to put on the blog but to show him the ironany [?] of the story about ORANGE.
