Do you have any recs? We went to one in Switzerland but it was a bit lame. On second thoughts, that could be ideal since I would prefer DC have low risk path to social glory - no crazy stunts and not many tragically enslaved animals …. Would you advise training as clowns, trapeze artists or animal trainers ? Which would look effortlessly elegant and old European money?

NP here, but clowns are the LMC of the circus world: anyone can get into clown school, as with the trades, and there are no barriers to entry (ergo, not an elite path). Animal trainers are the UMC professionals: elite, difficult work, but not a lot of money relative to the amount of skill it takes to succeed. Might get eaten by a big animal, as UMC professionals are wont be in corporate buyout/mergers and inquisitions games. So that leaves trapeze artists: elegant, can be somewhat cerebral work, requires lots of expensive lessons (and hospital bills!) and potentially better-than-average sense of balance/coordination (developed through those old money genes that were specifically selected to ensure familial ascent in the financial and physical worlds). Won't be easy, so good luck! I'd even suggest starting at a circus in Canada, using it as sort of a finishing school before you audition for the big boy stuff in Europe or the States.

The secret is to buy an expensive bag that you use everyday and then the rest of the outfit doesn't matter.

Bumper stickers on car related to horse riding in Montana and skiing in Aspen
Sing the praises of your house help who are like family To you. What would you do without them?

This is not old New England money at all. This sounds like Candace Ourisman.

Oh thank you so much for your kind guidance. Such Timeless elegance .., do you think I can find these looks at Episcopalian thrift stores in the Cape as another PP suggested ?

I really want my children to feel at home in the right circus circles …

+1!! You can wear less expensive clothes and still radiate class, because it all comes down to bearing.

Seems none of the royals of Europe have received your memo, as they all still insist on wearing very expensive brands. Maybe you should let them know?

None of the royals of Europe have any class. Surely you can see that?

Ooh good advice thank you.

I love that - Canadian Circus Finishing School . They will hopefully be too nice to snark about our klutz gene.

We do have good medical insurance for the trapeze route. And I can custom order beautiful silk scarves for the floaty sky rope dancing numbers .., I do fancy myself as a silk scarf aficionado and now I can out that to noble use.

Cirque du Soleil, her we come …

I hear there are some Episcopalian thrift shops on the Cape that you can frequent to really look the part for those air acts...

The PP is correct, but you need to be realistic. Your genes can’t beat Grace Kelly’s + Grimaldi’s, so your kid can’t have the elephant tamers(they were bred for the richest families). This sophisticated piece of European meat is out of your league:



P.s: The wrist tattoo is advisable.
