The Lighter Side of Life

At the sideshow I steal peoples lighters. I do this a lot. During the show I have them throw one up to me and I just never return it. Doing the show eight to ten times a day I have started quite a collection.
Some people get very bent out of shape about a 50 cent lighter but I did keep some great ones. The Obama is my favorite.

By the end of the year I should have well over a hundred. What should I do with them all?

Freak night out

On July 20th I performed at the Slipper room for Nic Sin's birthday party bash.

This is Nic. That is the straitjacket that I had made for him on his birthday last year. I can't wait for the next chance to hang him from something. The show was filled with great burlesque and many friends came out.




I had the chance to do some fire eating in the show. The ceiling was made of tin tiles. The fire created a great ring that only the front row and I were able to enjoy.



All the freaks came out in support of Nic. In this photo Black Scorpion,
Mat "Sealboy" Fraiser, Nic Sin, Me! and Tim "Torture King" Cridland.

Had some other great burlesque adventures this week, should have more soon.

Circus Posters

The other day the boss, Dick Z. was going through some of his old posters.


These are just a few. I love the look.

I wish that I could get a hand on these. They would be a great gift for my nephew.

New Hat Day!


I went to a costume rental shop that was going out of business. The warehouse was pretty picked through by the time that I got there but did manage to find some neat headgear.

Bellhop Donny.
I am going to use this as the center piece for a new circus act that I am working on.




Old Time Catcher Donny.

And then there is this thing. I have no clue, I just knew that I needed it.
