It's gonna be the elephant's eyebrows!

We're hard at work here in circus land preparing for our first event this Thursday, in order to help introduce the Sarah Lawrence community to the world of the Wild Westlands show.  The Van Duzer Sisters and their team have certainly got their work cut out for them-it's finals season and everyone's a wreck.

How can we lighten the mood? How about some 20s fun and a charleston?  Here's an clip from a vintage documentary about the life of the flapper.  Do you know what "Cash or check" meant at a speakeasy? How about the "black bottom"?  Take a peak at the fringe and the fast feet!

But it wasn't all black and white...we're mixing tumbling with our charleston, and flights of fancy with our front man's work.  Check out this lovely recording of a circus in the same period!
