  • An adult business window displays the naughty underwear worn by five mannequin models of a Soho sex shop on Old Compton Street in London's West End. Tilted slightly to the left, we see the 5 models posing in various positions of suggestive stances, all demonstrating the shop's array of erotic clothing for the Good Time Girl! On the far right is the artwork of a topless woman, wearing only knee-length stockings. See from behind, the line-drawing of the female suggests a dancer on a Parisian stage act such as the Folies Bergere or Paradis Latin - variety performances for the male admirer. She looks over her left shoulder as if to wink in our direction, all part of the illusion of coquettish desire and greedy eroticism. Old Compton Street is known for cafes, bars and especially the gay, trans-gender scene and for sellers of erotic toy 'accessories'!

  • The circus animal trainer leads two of his elephant friends one morning after a Gerry Cottle show the night before. Riding a bicycle across a field in London, he leads one beast, its trunk holding his white stick while another follows behind. Peters is topless, wearing a wide-brimmed hat and bright blue trousers. Marcel Peters is a circus animal trainer who has worked in the ring for many years, starting with Billy Smart's Circus and working with Polar bears, tigers, lions and elephants. Gerry Cottle sold his elephants and Peters moved with them to the Spanish Circus Mundial. His real name is Marcel Peter Hodge.

  • Against the strong spotlight of the Big Top, a ringmaster announces the next act during an afternoon performance by the Gerry Cottle circus in North London. With his top hat perched firmly on his head and holding his microphone, the leader of his troupe smiles confidently and speaks with authority to the unseen audience who eagerly await the skills of acrobats or clowns who are about to enter the ring. In his scarlet red coat and holding a pair of gloves in his other hand, the man is the epitome of showmen – a picture of show businesses and variety, of the presenter from another era.

  • On stage, a beautiful topless dancer with a gentleman admirer during a variety show at the famous Parisian cabaret company Paradis Latin, Paris France. In front of glittery stars, the ladies of the night are dressed in leotards and ballet tou-tous, flirting with this male dressed in top hat and tails with front row audience at the bottom of the picture like a male 'Gentlemen prefer blondes' fantasy.

  • On stage, two beautiful topless girls stand semi-naked with a gentleman admirer during a variety show at the famous Parisian cabaret company Paradis Latin, Paris France. In front of glittery stars, the two ladies of the night are dressed in satin stockings and suspenders, flirting with this male dressed in top hat and tails, holding the hand of one lady and the about to kiss the cheek of the other, all the time lit with stage spotlights and the silhouetted heads of the front row audience at the bottom of the picture. The two girls appear to be twins but are probably wearing blonde wigs to make them look like a male 'Gentlemen prefer blondes' fantasy. (From a story about travelling through 6 European countries by coach in 7 days).

  • A circus family poses for a portrait outside their big top tent before performing at another local show in south London. The family members are from the well-known Czech Faltiny Troupe who are travelling here on a European tour with Gerry Cottle's Circus in 1990. Wearing traditional the costumes of east European performers, the adults and their children look happy with their lives in the circus ring.

  • At first glance, we see an angry male holding the severed head of another man in his right hand. But this is a circus act from the Archaos troupe, a french company of oerformers who tour the world with their anarchic version of big top entertainment. With a dark background and with the apparent  murderer wearing black, it is an image of raw, homocidal thuggery: A massacre and attack on another human being. Despite it being a pretence, an act for the sake of an audience with a thirst for the macabre, it is still very disturbing.
