How long have you been in the circus?

Colorful and bright spectacle can not leave anyone indifferent to this type of art.
But art is a recent phenomenon, despite the fact that the characters of this performance existed long before the so-called circus!
Good afternoon, friend. I must tell you-thank you very much for reading this story about the clown girl, it will be very interesting and you will learn a lot of new and useful things.
Here is a beautiful creature created by me . The girl's name is Toffee. In Russia, this is called-it is very delicate caramel candy-with the smell of melted milk.
The morning was Sunny, and the girl was born with a smile and shows everyone the language!! She's teasing. A beautiful child with soft and soft natural hair . Transition from pink to purple. And the most charming mole above the lip. The doll is amazing and kind.
In this baby, everything is symbolic - the first secret-which is hidden from all eyes-is its inscription and drawing on the back panel-this is an owl. Furry and shaggy forest predator.
The owl is primarily associated with wisdom, but this bird has other characteristics. Often the owl is credited with magical qualities, because this bird is exclusively nocturnal, and the night is full of secrets and riddles.
The ancient Greeks identified the owl with Athena, the great goddess of wisdom. According to the myth, the owl sat on Athena's shoulder and told her what was going on behind her back so that she could see the truth.
And the clown has an owl on the back of his head-it sees everything and tells everything.
I made the inscription correctly in Latin - Quiestis-means-be who you are.
To the left of the owl's head I made a second inscription-live. Love. Laugh. This is the motto of the clown's life.

The Lakota had a "community of owls", warriors who fought mostly at night and drew dark circles around their eyes, because they believed that an owl would give them the ability to see in the dark and kill prey with a single blow.

Black drawings are drawn around toffee's eyes. That no one would notice her that night, as she goes to do good deeds for you, from which you will have fun, and you will smile for a long time.
I used the owl symbol for clowns in 4 places-the back of the head, earrings-2 owls with different tummies-red and blue.
In the evening, when the Moon has already appeared in the sky, hold the clown amulet in your hands and ask for protection from the owl's winged assistant.
And at the same time, the Owl helps you make the wisest decisions and not make hasty conclusions.
• If there is a black streak in a person's life, the owl is able to dispel the dark clouds over the head of its owner. The bird is very wise and insightful and will show the owner the best way out of the circumstances.
The girl's face is very interesting - it expresses surprise and shows its beautiful teeth. On the upper lip is a blue ball-piercing, the clown is a very stylish fashion doll.
I want to tell you about her 4 pairs of eyes-they are all new, you will not find repetitions.
I made these eyes for myself, this is my idea that only you will have, and they are symbolic together.
The first eyes are a large black pupil-the heart , and the iris is cherry. This type of eye highlights the lashes – on the right eye.
There are no lashes on the left eye.
The second pair of eyes is a watch. Time is always with us!!!!!!!
The
third eye is green - Don't be afraid.
All the fears are over, they are forever in the eyes of the toffee doll.
The fourth pair of eyes is - these blue and gray eyes .
The outfit is unique. Striped dress with an embroidered edge, full skirt. The girl is wearing vintage lace panties with a red and blue ribbon.
On her feet are colorful stockings. And the main attribute of the clown are real shoes with big round noses and red bows.
Look at the photo - you will see a cute and charming jacket. Individual sleeves. 20 colorful small buttons-I fixed on the jacket. I tied a polka-dot scarf around my neck. This pleasure. The clown has a circus-style top hat on his head.
I made another eye on the doll's face and added rings and thread. The doll is rare and unique in its kind. The body is also colored.

I told you about my work.
The doll will come to you in a charming gift box with its own story.
Now I'll tell you a story from the circus.
Life and death under the big top of Irina Asmus: the tragic story of the clown toffee from Abvgdeika»
One of the most popular children's TV programs in the USSR was "Avbgdeika", which was hosted by Tatyana Chernyaeva and clowns Klepa, Levushkin, Yura and Iriska (Irina Asmus). It made the kids go crazy. Both children and adults had the natural charm, dramatic talent and incredible lightness of toffee. In 1985, she suddenly disappeared from the program, and a year later it became known about her tragic death while performing in a circus. The audience couldn't believe what had happened.
Irina Asmus from childhood dreamed of becoming an artist, but could not choose between theater, stage and circus. Initially, she intended to enter the Bolshoi ballet school, but the Admissions Committee warned her that, despite her talent, with such a small stature, she would never be able to become a prima ballerina. Then Irina took the documents and submitted them to the state school of variety and circus arts.
While still studying, she starred in the film "the New adventures of puss in boots", and after graduation began working in a circus. Fate gave her signs that she did not consider a warning at the time. Irina worked as a balancer in the feathers - long sticks, with which he performed stunts under the big top. During one of the rehearsals, the actress fell and was seriously injured. Doctors forbade her to work at height, and her disobedience had disastrous consequences.
Then Irina Asmus returned to her passion for theater – she entered the drama Studio at the Leningrad young spectator theater, later moved to the V. Komissarzhevskaya theater. However, without the circus, she could not stand it for a long time and returned to the arena as a clown.
Irina Asmus appeared under the pseudonym taffy. It was under this name that she was remembered by millions of Soviet children who saw her in the program "Abvgdeika". In the late 1970-ies of the toffee has gained an incredible popularity. Once on tour, children gathered under the Windows of the hotel where the artists stayed. Toffee jokingly told them to come back after school and show them their grade diaries. A few hours later, students gathered there again to proudly show off their "fours " and"fives".

In March 1986, Irina went on tour to Gomel. While performing a trick under the dome of the circus, in front of one and a half thousand spectators, he fell from a 12-meter height. The performance continued, and the circus visitors did not even suspect that the actress had died.

The former head of the personnel Department of the Gomel circus Bogomaz later said: "the investigation was conducted very seriously, with drawings and experiments. Colleagues once told me in a heart-to-heart conversation: the actress herself is to blame for the death. A nut was riveted in the rotation machine. For safety reasons, before each performance, toffee herself had to check whether everything was in order with the equipment. She didn't do it that day." At the time, a safety engineer and an arena inspector were blamed for the incident. After the artist's death, this type of rotation machine was banned.
I want this clown, her story, her victory and her fame to be known.
