Circus Princess

These pictures from Ditte Isager’s Circus Princess shoot have got me reminiscing about my childhood.

 

My dad would take me to the circus every year. But I have to say, he seemed to enjoy it far more than I did. I could never fully get into it. I guess all those big animals and clowns can be slightly overwhelming for children. And yet somehow those trips to the circus have made their way into my fondest memories from childhood…

Did you like going to the circus when you were young? Do you have any vivid memories from back then? I’d love to know.

  10. I thought the clowns were silly and I did not like feeling smarter than the entertainer when I was a child.
    But, I am loving these adorable mixed up pictures feeling I could not compete with these combinations:)

  17. All things bright n beautiful with a splash of colours...
    So uplifting, na?
    I went to the circus a couple of times too...but it is a dying art in the current times...can’t say I am complaining coz they kept those animals in terrible conditions...
    But still, the circus did provide loads of fun to the young mind!
    Hope they remain in some vestiges!

    I also enjoyed going to the Circus, was always in awe at how everything was so bright, and the animals so big and the clowns funny.

  24. I love elephants so the circus was great for seeing my favorite animal =)
    We didn't have the circus nearby so I've only been once. It sounds like it is a good memory with your dad; how sweet of him to build a tradition with you.

  29. I always wanted to be the lady in the sparkly bra and panties riding the elephant! I imagine that girl would be happy to adjust her feather headpiece sitting at that red dresser!
