6 - wardrobe, originally uploaded by bucklesw1. Lolis, whose husband Alex is head of the animal department on the red unit, was born on her parents’ show in Mexico but grew up in San Antonio. She’s fourth generation circus and her family, the Osario’s, spent many seasons with Carson & Barnes. Here we see Lolis, a former flyer along with her husband, working on a new costume to match one used by a member of the high wire act. A series of ring binders—“costume bibles” as they are known and so identified—line the upper shelves of Lolis’s roadbox near her light. There are binders of measurement charts, costume sketches, vendor catalogs, and one just for shoes alone. Below, against the back wall, hang some personal snapshots of her husband, grandchild, son and daughter, and other family members.
