Mining for Dickens Fair/LCCB 2013 Pictures

Even though new videos of Le Cancan Bijou at the 2013 Dickens Fair have been few and far between, that shouldn't stop you from strip-mining photo-hosting sites for recent photos.

F'rinstance, here's a link that'll give you anything tagged "Dickens Fair" on Flickr, and posted after mid-November:

http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=dickens+fair&d=taken-20131114-&ss=2&ct=6&mt=all&w=all&adv=1

...which yields this nice pic of LCCB in the middle of an end-of-the-night blowout:

...as well as in "final formation:"

A similar search may be performed on SmugMug thusly:

http://www.smugmug.com/search/?q=dickens+fair&c=photos#s=recent&i=64

Since the above search preloads with a LOT of Dark Garden window models (many of whom are LCCB dancers anyway), the next link brings up SmugMug pictures tagged with both "Dickens" and "cancan:"

http://www.smugmug.com/search/?q=dickens+cancan&c=photos

Alternately, if you follow any of LCCB's dancers on Facebook, they'll frequently post direct links to their pictures on these gallery sites.

Finally, if you're not following the great Raymond Van Tassel (the OFFICIAL Dickens Fair photographer!) - what the HELL is wrong with you?!?

I've been looking for videos of the 2013 performance with only limited success.  Here are two that I found:

Anime Cancan

 I'm not normally much of a fan of anime art, but I thought this was a nice image.  It is by Arukatopia whose site is:

Show Ballet Black Berry from Khmelnitsky, Ukraine, shows off their different cancan plumages.   See their VK site at:

Here are their videos, which show off their cancans as well as the range of other routines in their repertoire, including, among others, Bavarian girls, gardetanzers and, for those with a sense of humor, Red Army girls in black panties, garter belts and stockings:

Cabaret Rouge

A couple of more recent photos of the dancers of Cabaret Rouge in performance at the Wam Bam Club and Mineral Line.  These photos and many more from the same performances can been seen at Flickr.  (Cabaret Rouge is a burlesque-influenced dance troupe, so expect to see a lot of skin and pasties in the photos.)

Pecos Goofy's Frontier Revue

 

 

The dancers of Pecos Goofy's Frontier Revue at Tokyo Disneyland.  The cancan may no longer be a fixture at the Golden Horseshoe Revue at the US parks, but it lives on in Tokyo.   Despite all the Disney characters wandering around and getting in the way, this is quite a nice cancan and a plus if you like colorful costumes.

All except the last of these photos are the work of the Japanese blogger at:

Once on the above page, if you continually click on the Japanese characters to the left and right of the character group below, that will take you to the original of the photos in this collection.
