She was a traveling sideshow performer (“The Monkey Girl”), singer, dancer, actress, and advocate for other “human oddities”.
She was born in Puerto Rico with two rows of teeth, and hypertrichosis, which causes excessive hair growth.
She married Emmitt Bejano (“The Alligator Boy”) in 1938.

Frantisek and Marie created Cirkus Rozkvet (which means "blossom" in Czech), and together they had seven children.
The Faltynkovi children performed many acts, such as knife throwing, juggling, rola bola, hand-to-hand balancing, etc.—and of course, unicycle.
Here are their descendants in 2014!

I’m just getting started with it honestly so I got a little Nikon D3100 ! I wanna get some better lenses for it, but it’s been fun to work with so far, my favorites are the ones I took at a carnival last year

I love how checking out a book from the library sometimes feels like getting a prize in your cereal box. Found this sticky note inside.

Your posts about immigration policy! Very relevant to the Carnival industry.

I wanted to play a little carnival game and I won a little star. Then we went on the ferris wheel and the silly symphony swings.

My first job I had at 8 years old, I was a Carnie.

Setting up the carnival with the other carnies.
Every time there was a big ride they would rally everyone to help lift and put it together.
I was just a lil kid at 8 even though I was big for my size.
Most of those who worked years had biceps the size of my head.
