Shockingly, Percilla Bejano does not have an English Wikipedia page (just on Spanish Wikipedia). So, we made one. Fingers crossed it gets approved soon! You can check out the draft version here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Percilla_Bejano

Here is another shot from my night at the carnival. Again, I felt that it worked best as a duotone. I really like this shot. Shot with my beast Fujifilm GSW690III and Portra 400. Converted in Lightroom and Photoshop. #analog #filmphotography #kodak #portra400 #filmisnotdead #shootfilm

Today in Circus History 🎪 On May 1st, 1934, Marie Novotna was born into a Czech circus and worked as a contortionist and wire dancer. Marie’s act inspired Frantisek Faltynkovi to perform again. His own family had already retired and sent him to the army. They married and started a new Circus ❤️

Carnival Evening — Henri Rousseau, 1886

Getting really tired of having to scroll past tons of political posts to find professional entertainers, carnival workers, clown makeup artists, showmen/carnies, bc 80% of the posts are just using our job titles to insult the government. Nobody in the White House is smart enough to be a Carnie.

Clown makeup is nature's danger signal it's true across every species the clown is the deadliest of every one

wild to see so many of the top posts with the word “carnies” are about politicians. They don’t deserve that title 😂 And we don’t deserve the insult ❤️

only time i want to hear about stupid games and stupid prizes is when you’re coming back from the county fair with a giant stuffed garfield

I love going through my old procreate stuff and finding sketches that really didn’t go anywhere, but County Fair Chicken might be one of my favorites. #sketchbook #kidlitart #illustration #chickens

nothin like shoving your hand in your apron and getting stabbed by a stockhook 🥲

Proud to have been a carnie! (Not at CI, but Seabreeze) MT: @LIFE Coney Island: Classic Photos

on thursday i went to the rodeo/ carnival with my mother and we both had fun! i saw bunnies, ate amazing food and won a game prize! 😊

My favorite story to tell: When I was maybe 7, I went to the town carnival, played a game where I had to pick a number, and was too overwhelmed and overstimulated to choose. The kind teen working the game said, “My lucky number is 23. You can borrow it!” I did. I won. 23 is still my favorite number.

Fun fact about me: I'm really into arcades! Started when I was young since the safety rail flew off a rollercoaster mid-ride so instead of rides, I focused on carnival games and arcade games. Found out my hand-eye coordination helped a lot and the rest is history! I've won 10-15 consoles in total!
