From BoingBoing.net today:
"Here is a fascinating slideshow of cabinet cards, postcards, or cartes de visite from 1900 Germany. The collection appears to be mostly circus performers, escape artists, sideshow freaks, and other curious humans. If you speak German, please summarize the text in the comments!" FREAKSHOW 1900 I think it's high time someone revived the act shown in photo #2 |

Photo #2 is a Living statue act...Cliff Vargas had one in the early '80's...this act was so old it was New!...Now statue acts are a dime a Dozen...Just check Denny's restaurant in Sarasota Florida...I am sure as many as you want can be had cheaper than the price of a Dishwasher...Showbiz...aint it Grand!!...
You come to a point in your life when you really don't care what people think about you, you just care what you think about yourself.

You know, the way the season is going, maybe I can hire some out of work customer service reps and paint em up and stand them outside the show... worth thinking about... the question is, silver or gold?

Someone in Venice has revived that act.....unfortunately, he's a big black guy instead of a lovely lady. He is incredible, but it's not the same.
