Tara Ogren, flyer (From Don Curtis)


Tara Ogren, flyer (2), originally uploaded by bucklesw1.

Hello Buckles,

I recently took these pictures of some folks on Ringling Blue pre-show. As you well know, these talented, but perhaps lesser known young performers assist patrons in trying on costumes, sign autographs, do short routines, etc. before the main show.
I told them that if they were to faithfully check in on "Buckles Blog", there might possibly be a chance that they would see there photo posted there.
Best regards,
Don


"Don, how thoughtful of you to inform the artists that they might appear on Bucklesblog, giving them ample opportunity to dig out the good wardrobe.
Buckles

Buckles,
Thanks for posting these photos on your blog. These young performers have now officially "arrived".

Sure looked like "rainy day"

One of my favorite stories

about Miles White long ago

when he asked some performer

about some rather shabby

costume the reply was that

it was "rainy day" to which

Miles replied "It could never

rain that hard"

Seems like another drunk was

setting the blue vinyl globes

Reminds me of Tommy Cooper

running a couple hundred silk

screened license plates (and

I still have one) "Ringing

Bros." bla bla bla

He cut a second silk to try

to overprint and save them

I just remembered Tommy Cooper's

shop was named PBR Signs which

stood for "Pabst Blue Ribbon"

Tommy did a lot of the signage

at the Venice quarters and some

of the rolling stock

Before that I believe he was

in clown alley

On second glance it seems that

the missing letters are hidden

in a fold of fullness (maybe)

Chic,
I would think that anything that as important as a great name would have someone to check up what the drunks had done before the show.
I know, good help is hard to get, but one would think with millions to spend , someone would check what the thing looks like, before it is seen by the public.

Tommy had worked on the show

for many years and had probably

painted the name three and a half

million times (sometimes even

in a semi sober state) and this

was not a "sanctioned" project

Anybody can make a misteak

Oh Bob

If you are talking about the

calabana that's another whole

issue of probably starting

from both ends and overlapping

wherever they meet
