51 Circus Innovations

From Fashion to Funerals, There is No Need for a Tent

— May 20, 2010 — Fashion
Could Britney's Circus album be the start of all these circus innovations? Whether the answer is yes or no, people seem to have an interest in the strange and the carnivalesque. With things like circus-themed editorials and brick balancing robots abounding, it looks like the world is looking for some entertainment. If that's you, check out these circus innovations, but especially the Britney toy with a straight jacket...

Implications - Other awesome circus innovations to be found in this compilation include quirky clown portraiture, circus fashion editorials, as well as some truly freaky sideshow art. It's almost as good as going to an actual circus!
