塞尔达·拉·弗里克(Zelda La Freak)恐怖秀化妆套装
塞尔达·拉·弗里克化妆套装是拉·弗里克秀系列的一部分。塞尔达·拉·弗里克化妆套装是一款非同寻常且极其细致的化妆品,精心绘制而成,旨在捕捉 16 世纪中叶至 20 世纪期间怪胎秀中那些令人费解的奇异景象。这款异国情调的化妆品展示了华丽的前卫粉底、浓郁的眼影和腮红叠加效果,以及专为多余手指甲设计的凝胶指甲油 ;)……最后以珠饰酒窝和胸骨穿孔饰品完成整体造型。 这款化妆套装的灵感来源于怪胎秀,这是一种展示怪人、畸形和自然奇观的展览,是维多利亚时代欧洲和美国巡回展览的重要组成部分。维多利亚时代人类奇特现象的展示方式因 P.T. 巴纳姆及其著名的异国情调景点而发生巨大变化。1844 年,巴纳姆抵达英国时,英国的表演者们惊讶地发现,他竟希望仅通过展示令人费解的奇特事物就能吸引大量观众。怪胎秀也是美国马戏团表演的重要组成部分,比如林林兄弟与巴纳姆及贝利的杂耍秀。这些表演的明星被托德·布朗宁 1932 年的电影《怪胎》永载史册。在 20 世纪的大部分时间里,活体新奇表演继续在美国的嘉年华会和集市上,以及英国的巡回集市上上演。汤姆·诺曼(又名“银王”)是巴纳姆在英国的对应人物。他在商店橱窗、巡回集市上展示自己的演员,或担任演员经纪人。诺曼于 20 世纪 70 年代开始从事杂耍表演生涯,当时他管理着伊莱扎·詹金斯“骷髅女”以及一系列怪胎秀景点。诺曼在自传中写道:“那时你确实可以展示任何东西。从针到锚,从跳蚤到大象,从肿胀的尸体到鲸鱼。关键不在于展品本身,而在于你讲述的故事。”对于英国杂耍表演者来说,他们的鼎盛时期是在维多利亚时代,那时表演者家喻户晓,深受公众和皇室的喜爱。维多利亚统治时期出现的许多表演很快就被最新奇或神奇的事物所取代。然而,蜡像展览与怪胎秀或许是 19 世纪最受欢迎的巡回展览类型之一。1865 年,巴纳姆退休时,他的博物馆被烧毁至灰烬……尽管巴纳姆曾并仍被批评剥削演员,但他支付给演员的报酬相当丰厚。有些演员的收入甚至与当今一些体育明星不相上下
Zelda La Freak Makeup Kit is part of La Freakshow collection. Zelda La Freak Makeup Kit is an Unusual and highly detailed makeup delicately painted to capture the Unfathomable Oddities of The Freak Show In the Mid-16th to 20th Century. This Exotic Makeup exhibits gorgeous Avante Garde Powder Bases, Rich shadows and blush overlays, designer gel polishes for those extra Phalanges ;)...and Finishing off the look with Bead Stud dimple & Sternum Piercings. This Makeup Kit was inspired by The Freak Show which was an exhibiton of freaks, monstrosities and marvels of nature, an essential component of travelling exhibition in Europe and America throughout the Victorian Period. The presentation of human oddities in the Victorian era changed dramatically with P.T. Barnum and his famous exotic attractions. When Barnum arrived in England in 1844 the British showman were amazed that he was hoping to attract so much money for simply exhibiting Unfathomed Oddities. Freak Shows were also essential components of circus shows in America Such as The Ringling Brother Barnum and Baileys's Sideshow. The Stars of the Show were immortalised in Todd Browning's 1932 Film Freak. Living novelty acts continued on carnivals and midways in America and on the travelling fairs in the United Kingdom for most of the twentieth century. Tom Norman also known as "The Silver King" was the English counterpart of Barnum. He exhibited his performers in shop fronts, on his travelling fair or acted as an agent for the acts. Norman started his career as a sideshow exhibitor in the 1970's when he managed Eliza Jenkins "the Skeleton Woman and a whole range of freak show attractions. He stated in his autobiography "you could indeed exhibit anything in those days. Yes anything from a needle to an anchor, a flea to an elephant, a bloater you could exhibit as a whale. It was not the show; it was the tale that you told." For the British Side show performers their heyday was the Victorian period when the performers were household names and patronised by the general public and royalty alike. Many of the shows that appeared during the reign of Victoria were quickly superseded by the latest novelty or wonder of age. However , the waxworks display with the freak Show was perhaps the most continually popular travelling type of exhibition in the ninteenth century. Barnum retired in 1865 when his museum burnt to the ground...though Barnum was and still is criticized for exploitation of the acts, he paid the performers fairly handsome sums of money. Some of the acts made the equivalent of what some sport stars make today!
