Class Act: Circus Arts
As a little girl, who didn't dream of flying around on a trapeze dressed in dazzling spangles. Some childhood dreams can come true, but maybe without all the sequins. Chances are high that you can find Adult Circus Arts Fitness classes (also called Aerial Arts) in your neck of the woods, since these classes are becoming increasingly popular.
Take That Bring Their Spectacular Live Show To London!
Take That are still touring around the country, playing to some huge audiences, and last night I was one of the lucky 80,000 people at Wembley Stadium to see the band as they finally brought their The Circus: Live show to the capital! Along with their hits, and some dance routines they did in the early 90s, the boys had an incredible number of dancers and gymnasts bring the circus theme to life and did it all in the absolutely sweltering heat that we're being treated to at the moment in the UK. These new photos from last night's show expand on the amazing clown photos from the beginning of the tour, with a detailed glimpse at the spectacular elephant that transports them from the stage in the centre of the arena to the main stage, and the ringmaster and fire that make up the stage set for "Relight My Fire".
Take That Are Happy To Be In Their Home City
Take That are enjoying some time in their home city of Manchester at the moment, playing a handful of shows there as part of The Circus live tour. Mark Owen, Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Jason Orange will be there until next week, when they move on to London for their final stretch of tourdates. Their five sold out nights in the northern city are getting rave reviews so far, although that's no surprise after seeing the spectacular photos of their circus themed shows.
Inspired: Vintage Circus Posters
I love the excitement, color, and sense of the unusual that's conveyed on vintage circus posters. These old posters, with their awesome illustrations, must've been a thrill for small-town kids, who probably waited all Summer for the big tent to set up in their town's park. While my favorite circuses today tend to not involve animals, I've always been drawn to the animal images from these circus posters.
Britney Gives Us More Details on Her Circus
Britney Spears loves wigs, so it's no surprise to see her wearing one on Halloween, before returning to her routine on Saturday. Britney stopped at Starbucks with her cousin and former sidekick Laura Lynn Covington, who seems to be back on good terms. While Kevin got to spend time with their bumble bee boys for the holiday, Britney revealed details about her new album.
Take That And The Circus Live Afterparty
A tired and happy looking Take That made their way to Kensington's Roof Gardens after their final show of The Circus: Live tour at Wembley Stadium last night. Gary Barlow, Jason Orange, Howard Donald and Mark Owen were joined by celeb buddies like Will Young, Kimberley Walsh and Jason Donovan for a celebratory bash after their month on the road, playing to 1,080,000 people. I'm sure that they also celebrated their prestigious Silver Clef award win too!
Britney Spears "Circus" Video — Love It or Leave It?
Britney Spears's "Circus" video leaked and here it is! Most of you loved the preview clip we saw last week and now check out the full thing. We're familiar with the theme from her performance yesterday and of course, the album title and circus artwork.Take That's Live Show Isn't Just A Lot Of Clowning Around
Take That's most recent album is called The Circus, and Gary, Mark, Howard, and Jason are certainly taking all the fun of it with them as they tour the UK at the moment. Whether they're dressing up as clowns, dancing in the rain, or being carried by a spectacular animatronic elephant from the main stage to the centre of the stadium, the show looks like an absolute spectacle! The boys also show off some rather nifty unicycling skills — well, all of them except Gary who rides a kids' bike...
Still Checking Out the Circus?
Going to the circus when I was a kid was as American as apple pie – its talented animals and trapeze artists made a stop nearby almost every Summer. Now that I'm older (and wiser), I know that many of these animals live in deplorable conditions so when I read about the elephant who escaped from his big top duties and was found wandering into someone's Kansas yard, I was kind of surprised – there are traveling circuses still in operation?
I guess I just assumed they went the way of the dinosaur, but when I checked out the Ringling Brothers website, they have a whole slew of cities and dates for this year's shows!
