Karneval - SRCC

Karneval Season is upon us, and the German clubs will be celebrating.  Here are some photos from the festivities of one such club, Saalfd-Rolschter-Carnevals-Club, from years past.

The ladies of SRCC show their cancan skills in traditional black and red costumes.  The SRCC site:

These photos and many more (including some you might prefer not to see) can be seen at:

Finding cancan photos from the karneval parties is a hit-or-miss proposition - mostly miss.  Hopefully, though, we will be able to find some nice photos this time around.

The France Show 2014

 

The Dynamic Dancers clad in colorful costumes entertained at 2014's The France Show.  Most of the photos I have seen, including a sampling shown above, are on the show's Facebook page and its Flickr page, which are linked below, but there are more on Demotix that can be viewed at the link also given below.  Perhaps more will turn up.  The Dynamic Dancers also performed at last year's show in different costumes.

Le Cancan Bijou at the Edwardian Ball - Alex Stover/Darkenship Studio

And the deluge continues!  A new batch of LCCB performance pictures from the 2014 Edwardian Ball just popped up from photographer Alex Stover.

http://www.darkenship.com/Events/Edwardian-Ball-2014/36165679_9nM2xT#!i=3032947721&k=FTjFDQz

The "relevant" photos are on pages 1, 12, and 13, but there's plenty of Edward Gorey/steampunk-esque debauchery throughout.

And all I can say is "magnifique!"
