[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I hope all the great advice here is helpful for your aspirations:

1. Children should join American circus 
2. Wear expensive underaged jewelry but not in MC/ LMC areas where you might get mugged; 
3. Don’t name Drop any European fashion designers/ cars etc - Tear charging station in front yard;
4. Try to find a high end American car you can keep for thirty years;
5. Don’t mention that you follow European royals. Leave equestrian and ethical investment magazines lying around.
6. Bumper stickers referring to skiing in Aspen, Horse riding in Montana and summers in the Hamptons or Martha’s Vineyard;
7. Discrete tattoos on ankles or shoulders in Latin (Where there was no way, we found one). This is a subtle cue that old money will Pick up on : nouveau Riche have yet to find their way but you already arrived;
8. Finally, Sing the praises of your home help who are like your family. They even get to come on vacation with you and clean up after you and cook for you! Ideal family!

EUROPEAN circus.

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?[/quote]

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.[/quote]

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 … [/quote]

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.[/quote]

This is why we will go the Canadian Circus Finishing School route - Canadians are too nice to quash my social climbing ambitions. We will need to remember to work on adding “eh” to the end of sentences and pretending to care about ice hockey. I am sure a few nice silk scarves will cover up any genetic deficiencies. [/quote]

Precisely.  Try to get into a francophone Canadian circus.  The Quebecois accent will take some work to get rid of, but simply knowing French will give you that certain je ne sais quoi that new money eats up.[/quote]

Oui oui
Établie à Montréal, l'organisation canadienne a émerveillé et enchanté plus de 180 millions de spectateurs avec des productions présentées dans 450 villes de 60 pays. Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group emploie actuellement 4 000 personnes, dont 1 300 artistes, originaires de près de 50 pays.

Mais malgré tout ce succès, le Cirque du Soleil a un écart. Il leur manque une famille d'ascension sociale de DMV qui sait comment agiter des foulards en soie avec noblesse oblige.

Ils doivent avoir le gène klutz pour un effet maximal.

Viva la sobre fabuleusement riche du DMV. Laissez-les manger du gâteau et travaillez-le en dansant avec des foulards en soie.[/quote]

Nouvelle posteur ici. Je suis entièrement d'accord avec le sage conseil de PP. Je ne suis pas née riche, mais j'ai fréquentée l'école de cirque canadienne et maintenant je suis constamment confuse pour quelqu’une avec les vielles fortunes, surtout quand je m’habille en les foulards en soie.

Et la prime: Les familles DMV recevront des points de plus et des sièges de troisième rangée pour payer les frais de scolarité internationaux.[/quote]
