Default Sleaze 2007 - ZIRCUS!
Love the theme. Cant wait for the DJ's to be announced.

Just had a look at the Mardi Gras website and while they haven't revealed all the details there is this teaser...

This year's Sleaze Ball is called Zirkus and is a dark, sexy and gothic tale of circus, lust and whimsy.

It seems a bit too playful and not dark enough

We don't need Sleaze to see a lot of hideous clowns running about in this town wokka-wokka...





You'll be right jackie. Something will come to mind. Perhaps go into Google image search @ your leisure and type in words like "circus", "clown" then "trapeze" etc for some inspiration. Personally I'm not big on themes, but I do think this one is good.

I wonder how many Showgirl-like harlequins but with a gothic-twist front-up Some big bears could do the 1/2 man, 1/2 woman bit successfully.

Oh I reckon there is a pretty dark side to the circus.

Think all of the sideshow freaks, the inbred traveling carnies, the leather straps, the animals in cages....I could go on.

If I was to attend how much effort would i have to go to in the costumer area......Would a red clown nose and a trumpet hitched over my shoulder be enough? Or am I seriously under clubbing it......BTW i cannot sew to save my life nor have i ever applied make up and to clear any confusion my body is not suited to lyrca in any way shape or form!

Time for some inspirational pics....just Googled @ http://images.google.com.au

You would have to make it glam as well as dark, otherwise you could end up looking like 2 mid-western American Gothic teens, or a 70s horror movie about killer clowns.

That second clown looks awesome - great artistry. I think I have found some costume motivation.
You can play the leper boy and I can play the healer

Yes, I thought so too. If you're a big lazy bear not wanting to go too much trouble, the strongman would be easy enough.

Here is Cirque du Soleil's website. Plenty of inspiration: http://www.cirquedusoleil.com
