Día 24. Siameses. Violeta y Daisy Hilton fueron dos siamesas inglesas, actrices de vodevil, músicas y cantantes ocasionales. Fueron rechazadas por su madre y puestas en exhibición por su tutora, Mary Hilton. Su vida fue bastante documentada. Terminaron sus días en Estados Unidos, prácticamente indigentes y víctimas de la pandemia de gripe del 68, llamada de Hong Kong. #octubreskine2021 @drinkndrawdf @mike_sandoval_ @epicmoleskinemx #SiamesesPigópagas #DaisyAndVioletHilton #Dibujo #Vodevil #Tinta #Guga https://www.instagram.com/p/CVb5FE3Lw3m/?utm_medium=tumblr

Daisy y Violet Hilton (Inglaterra 1908- Estados Unidos 1969) fueron unas saxofonistas y actrices. Eran gemelas siamesas, las primeras en ser documentadas. . 🎷Al nacer su madre las rechaza y las compra la partera, quien les brinda su apellido. Mary Hilton quien no tenía una buena posición económica decidió ponerlas en exhibición. . 🎷Aprendieron a tocar el saxofón. . 🎷Cuando Mary murió en Estados Unidos, fueron legadas a la hija de Mary y su esposo. La pareja comenzó a manejarlas. Teniendolas prisioneras la mayoría del tiempo, eran violentadas físicamente si no hacían lo que se les ordenaba hacer. Las mantuvieron ocultas del público un tiempo y las entrenaron para que toquen jazz. También tocaban violín y piano. . 🎷Más adelante le hicieron juicio a la pareja y pudieron trabajar de manera independiente. Participaron en vaudeville, burlesque y cine durante el resto de sus vidas. . #MujeresMúsicas #MujeresSaxofonistas #Saxo #Sax #ClasesDeSaxo #Música #Music #Feminismo #Historia #MujeresEnLaHistoria #HistoriaDeLaMúsica #DaisyAndVioletHilton #HiltonTwins https://www.instagram.com/p/CCxB5lrguh6/?igshid=tzh94kg4jbub

Featuring last week's 'Freak Show Friday' profile stars, Daisy & Violet Hilton, in their own subplot, 'Freaks' (dir. Tod Browning, 1932) is a horrifying thriller that survives only in heavily edited form. Unravelling into a tale of revenge, the story centres around an evil able-bodied aerialist who plots to deceive a sideshow 'freak', affording Browning the opportunity to explore what it means to be human. Contemporary reviews criticised the film for being repulsive & unbelievable, revealing nothing but their historical prejudice. Starring true carnival performers as the eponymous 'Freaks', it was banned for decades in the UK on grounds of exploitation. ❓: What do you think: is 'Freaks' a work of exploitation or empowerment for dis- or differently-abled circus performers? 📸: 'Freaks' Lobby Card, 1932, MGM.

Born fused together at the pelvis in Brighton, England, in 1908, Daisy and Violet Hilton were the first documented conjoined twins to survive beyond a few weeks (in the UK). Raised by their single mother's abusive employer, Mary Hilton, they began touring and performing aged 3. On Mary's death, the sisters were passed into the care of the former's own daughter, who continued her family's tradition of exploitation and abuse, now in the USA. In 1931 Daisy and Violet finally gained their freedom, entertaining in first vaudeville then burlesque circuits, and eventually becoming two-time stars of the silver screen ('Freaks', 1931 and 'Chained for Life', 1952). Over the decades, interest dried up until eventually their tour manager abandoned them, penniless, following their final performance at a North Carolina drive-in cinema in 1961. With no choice but to remain in North Carolina, the Hilton sisters lived out their days as a greengrocer's assistants. 8 years after their last public appearance, the twins were found dead in their home having failed to show up for work. Daisy is believed to have succumbed to the Hong Kong flu first, following by Violet up to 4 days later. Last week, 100% of you voted for the sisters to be featured on Generally Gothic today - through this profile their legacy continues. 📆: Each Friday whilst the 🎪Circus of Horrors🎪 is here throughout June, a different historical 'Freak Show' performer will be profiled. 👉: Head to stories to vote for who you'd like to read about next Friday. 📸: Daisy and Violet Hilton, via Wiki Commons. . #generallygothic #gothic #circusofhorrors #circus #circusisintown #thecircusisintown #daisyandviolet #daisyandviolethilton #thehiltonsisters #conjoinedtwins #siamesetwins #circusfreaks #freaks #freaks1931 #circusperformer #disability #abuse #exploitation #profile #chainedforlife #vaudeville #burlesque #sideshow #freakshow #blackandwhitephotography #northcarolina #poverty #circushistory #bigtop #academic https://www.instagram.com/p/Byt45W9ACM8/?igshid=1th3cjl1v80d3
