A while back my wife decided sideshow acts wern't for her and I didn't want her to work with me if she wasn't having fun. But now the Salida Circus is starting to book up for the summer,I needed a new assistant and they found two belly dancers to work with me. I invited my Wife to see our FIRST show and she said it was very good but didn't like me working with two scanteley clad females who touch me, one with here bare feet and the other with a sledge hammer. Well to make thing worse I went to a photagrapher friend of my Wife's to make promo photos, and they are touching me in the photos. I don't understand WOMEN!
Dear Abby, How can I have a female assistant without my wife thinking I'm going to be tempted to be bad. DON'T pick on my wife she's only being female.
Signed,Confused

Not a problem,,,get rid of wife !!!
Old UK saying,,,2 birds in the hand are better than a wife in the bush.
Now if it had been three assistants then that would have been another story.

Just remember a landscape gardener is cheaper than a lawyer and you'll end up with a really nice patio once he's finished his work.... Blimey, I've only been married 9 months. Been hanging with Ken too long.

Alright, since just about /everyone/ is being goofy I guess I will do my best to be serious.
I went through something similar, working a fashion show while in a relationship. There was never anything said outright but I could tell it made my girlfriend a little uncomfortable, especially when I got my two lovely assistants.
Reasoning that transparency was the best option, I just kept my girlfriend informed of how the show was going, all the behind the scenes stuff, the stage hand's drama, the audience... stuff like that. Stuff besides /just/ me and my assistants. It seemed to help.

I am haveing a Cinco de Mayo couples counseling special one third off from now until May 11th. That would be $133.00 per hour. Free parking. Bring the belly dancers. PM me.
If you don't want to show up, send the belly dancers, I'll see what I can do.
P.S. I'm not as old as I look.

Maybe if she met them in a relaxed environment, like at dinner, and could get to know them and see they were nothing to worry about, it might help?

When you take your wife to dinner with your assistants just make sure you sit between the two girls and all 3 of you are facing your wife on the other side of the table.

By far the best advice yet. Be sure to smile, and avoid playing footsie until after the wife leaves.

Get rid of the girls and hire two really good looking female impersonators. It might not solve the problem, but if she does sue for divorce you will get TONS of publicity.

While playing Tucson 3 years ago, a girl came up while it was slow and asked if I would take her picture posing on the Bally, I said "Sure"..and thought nothing of it...2 months later Lori (My Girlfriend) posted this picture on my FB page asking "whats this all about?"

After some nervous thought I replied "you should know! you took the photo!, I put 2 and 2 together since she was visiting during this time and She did admit she took the picture while visiting w/ the Sea-lion folks across the Midway, We both Laughed...What it comes down to is Trust...I've been very Blessed w/ Lori as she trusts me...and I trust her...

I was given some advice back in junior high: "Sometimes you just gotta' give 'em a little smack so's they remember who's in charge."
My school wasn't in a very good neighborhood.

Nice... wasn't expecting a callback to the "fist show" thing.
My advice?
Make sure your wife gets to know your assistants and vice versa.
Invite them all to dinner and let your wife scope them out, off the clock.
If your wife still has reservations, let her find you some new assistants.
You might end up with fugly assistants but your home-life will be better.

Reassure her that your female counterparts are harmless and she should be more worried about the swarms of hot young starf#@ckers that stalk dapper male sideshow performers! Especially, the strong quiet types. No seriously, I venture to guess relationships between performers in a troop are far and few between and most likely don't last long. Once the illusion is trampled and they spend ungodly amounts of time with you they learn ever intimate detail of your personality and personal habits, if that's not enough to deter them any additional baggage involved in the complexities of running a business will certainly destroy any interest. A wise man once said, "You never sh@t where you eat" and vise-versa I assume.

Right on. I've seen more than one performer throw away his career (not to mention friendships) over such details.
Not. Worth. It.

My wife dosen't want to go to dinner, she wants to damage the girls. So Ive found the daughter of a friend that my wife likes to work with me locally. And the belly dancers can work with me when we're out of town. The Divas want to work with me at the State Fair and the Big Circus Sideshow,should be fun.
