I was voted class clown in jr. high. I wonder if my old classmates are aware they were experts in foreshadowing. If they’re out there reading this- thanks for your votes of confidence. Hope I’ve done you proud! 💖🌈 🌟wig- @wigsandgrace 🌈Dress- @fashionnova 💖 Coverup - @beabimbo 🌟shoes - @dollskill 🎪🎟🍿🎈🎪🎟🍿🎈 #pcsalumni #circusisintown #partyentertainer #classclown #proudclown #wigsandgrace #fashionnova #beabimo #dollskill #ootdfashion #ootd #queenofblending (at Toluca Lake, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5s6jqjn12L/?igshid=kek5z171welu

"In the spring of 1835, Barnum bought the rights to exhibit a frail enslaved African-American woman named Joice Heth. He plastered New York with posters advertising the old woman as George Washington's 161-year-old nursemaid. Though Heth had little choice in the matter, she played the part and the rouse worked. Barnum hoodwinked the press and thousands of others who paid 25¢ to see her." - 'Circus', S1E1, Netflix, 2018. By the time he reached New England, interest was dwindling, so Barnum made the radical decision to publically accuse himself of fraud through anonymous newspaper notices. These new adverts claimed Heth to an automaton composed of Indian rubber & mechanical springs... In other words, a robot. The genius of this trademark strategy was that Barnum now had cause to invite the public to the attraction in order to make up their own minds! 📆: Each Friday whilst the 🎪Circus of Horrors🎪 is here throughout June, a different historical 'Freak Show' performer will be profiled. As the first of her kind, Joice is not subject to these constraints... 📸: Poster, c.1835, via Wiki Commons. . #generallygothic #gothic #circusofhorrors #circus #thecircusisintown #circusisintown #bigtop #carnival #gothiccircus #circushistory #sideshow #circusperformers #circushistory #history #socialhistory #freaks #freakshow #joiceheth #publicitystunt #marketing #automaton #vintageposter #ptbarnum #barnumandbailey #barnumandbaileycircus #barnumsfreaks #robot #exploitation #circusdocumentary #netflix https://www.instagram.com/p/ByoyZ0jgMeB/?igshid=xo0i1airz96h

The carnivalesque is a literary mode first observed by Russian philosopher and literary critic, Mikhail Bakhtin (1895 - 1975). Along with the grotesque body, subversion and chaos are at its core - in style & content - allowing otherwise marginalised voices to speak up & claim power. All of this is apparent in the frenzied atmosphere under the circus' big top; the assumed power of the ring master, the mocking commentary of the clown, the popularity of the Freak Show. Bakhtin offers French author François Rebelais' (1494 - 1553) 'Gargantua and Pantagruel' (1693) as a perfect example of the carnivalesque. In the novel, a transgressive subculture threatens to disrupt a structured society from behind the façade of which it flourishes. Born in the black shadow of the Second World War, Bakhtin's literary theory is commonly read in two ways. Firstly, as a utopian response to wartime oppression & a celebration of revolution. And secondly, because the circus is its expected playground, as nothing more than a representation of transgression; it is merely the replacement of one façade for another. 📸: 'Two Fools of Carnival' print by Hendrik Hondius I of Pieter Bruegel The Elder's original 1642 engraving, via Wiki Commons. . #generallygothic #gothic #circusofhorrors #circus #thecircusisintown #circusisintown #bigtop #carnival #gothiccircus #circushistory #circushistory #history #socialhistory #carnivalesque #literarymode #literarygenre #literarytheory #linguistics #literarycriticism #bakhtin #mikhailbakhtin #russianliterature #frenchliterature #academic #scholarly #gothicliterature #booknerd #bookworm #books #literature https://www.instagram.com/p/Byd1bQNgr7E/?igshid=gq0p7w1t8n66
