More wardrobe pictures #2


This wardrobe was worn by the riders of the seven pay-off elephants in Spec. Each costume matched the elephant's blanket.

Someone needs to put out an APB on Clifford Vargas. I'm sure it was a pure coincidence but It just seemed like the other two big tented circuses sure seem to upgrade their appearances when the mighty Mr V came on the scene. I was unaware anyone knew how to make sequined garments other than Brooks Van Horn. Mr. V, What a character. I'll bet you he had no idea what a baseball stich was nor how to splice a rope? Never the less, for all you who know what this means, at the time the mighty Ringling Bros actually hung full page wait paper on the Vargas show. At the present, ball park shows beware.
