A Blog designed for discussion of topics related to, but not limited to, Circus, Zoos, Animal Training, and Animal Welfare/Husbandry. Sometimes opening up the dialog is the best starting point of all. And if for nothing else when people who agree and don't agree, get together and start discussing it, it will open up a lot of peoples minds. Debate and discussion even amongst themselves opens a window where there wasn't one before.
Would this girl be required to do a quad, or would we let her slide with a passing leap and cute and charming?

I suspect we'd let her slide just stylin' around the ring curb. And I'm pretty sure you could charge more for the reserved seats.
Wade,
I'm telling you it is a cult !!! now you're devoted followers are asking you---- or it is now new language, " it is an act or is it T & A " ! I am just sharing an observation..
totally with respect,
Rebecca
p.s. this woman has great breasts!! appears to be not too saggy for trapeze!! not all countries are as uptight with nudity as we are in the USA
I have to agrree with Mr. Trumble on this one. It is reminescent of the night in Taiwan when one of the ladies in the flying act I was working lost her top during the act. We had our rigging hung at about eighty feet and the net some 50 feet because we were on a strnage rodeo, circus, ice show and had to get all our guylines in the seats because of the rodeo events. It produced quite a thrill as someone climbed up to the net, got the top, brought it to the pedestal along with some safety pins. We quickly reformulated the remainder of the act and got down, and immediately found a seamstress to fix the problem for the next show.
Whover this aerial act is certainly fits into the Tand A category even if they actually did any tricks at all. Who needs tricks with T&A like that. I never claimed the aerial world was any different from the animal world.
Well now I feel compelled to seek work in some of those more "liberal" countries. I can set a web like nobodies business,,,LOL
Ask me nicely and I´ll tell you the name of the act! Furthermore I can refer you to a "soft porn" movie (what an admission!) in which it appears!
Jim Stockley: A South African flying act, they were with Ringling 1970, Red Unit? I saw them win the Circus World Championships in London in 1978. Freddy did a triple (I think?) and Carol was a great looker and a very nice flyer. She certainly did a whole lot more than "just stylin' around the ring curb" ;-)
They are now in New Zealand www.actionworld.co.nz/aboutus.htm
Jim,
Yes they were a great flying act on Ringling, the Flying Ostlers. Some folks may not know that back in the 60's 70's there was a lot of work in European Cabarets/nightclubs for topless female aerialists and flying acts. Vintage copies of Organ, with the act listings are often way better then vintage National Geographic. I know of one female cat trainer who worked as a similar venue in Miami at the Fountain Blue for a number of winters.
Thanks for the link, I did not know the were still around.

Can we get her to present a ring of elephants? It would bring back the allure of the 'Greatest Show on Earth.' lol
Flying Oslers indeed. Johan, the catcher, is on the left. Freddy, the male flyer, on the right.
They did Great Yarmouth Hippodrome for the 1974 season, Freddy being my guest at the lunch at the rally the CFA held there, so we had a good talk that day.
Certainly they did the Circus World Championships in London one year, and they were the ONLY act to score 100/100 (50 each for content and presentation)in all 10 Championships.
John,
What kind of a scoring system did they use for The Circus World Championships, and what was the criteria?
