Update: The Moscow Grand Circus in Abu Dhabi

Image
It has been non stop at Gandey World Class Productions headquarters recently. With preparation for next years Lady Boys of Bangkok show in full swing and the all new production of the Moscow Grand Circus about to begin, we're lucky if we get a moment to update the blog! Luckily we've managed to grab a few minutes this morning to give you a little bit of an insight though. The UK crew have now left to begin the set up in Abu Dhabi, whilst the Lady Boys tour is now in Newcastle Upon Tyne. The "Moscow Grand Circus" is set to take place at  Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre in association with  ADNEC Live Events from Wednesday 25th until Sat 28th September 2013. Following the success of the Chinese State Circus  in Abu Dhabi last year, Gandey World Class Productions have put together a stunning show for this event, featuring a full line up of non stop talent. There will be no 'fillers' within the production with each performing artiste as strong as the form

K-Beauty and....Snails?!

Image
Korean skincare products are huge in Thailand right now. From the revolutionary BB cream to lotions and potions containing extracts of SNAIL (yes, you read that correctly) the popularity of 'k-beauty' is growing by the day. Gone are the days when the 'western' look is desired by young female's (and males wanting to be females like our lady boys!) in Thailand. The new breed of fashion and beauty icon's include Korean actress, singer and model Yoon Eun-hye alongside the equally as desirable Korean actress Song Hye-kyo .  Snail has been an unlikely addition to beauty products for many years, dating back ancient Greece snail 'slime' was used to treat burns and other skin conditions. It seems in recent times there has been somewhat of a 'snail revival' with brands such as Skin79 using it in their BB creams and Dr Jart's Time Returning Serum which contains 77% Snail Mucin. There is also the increasingly (un)popular snail facial, wher

A Celebration of Diversity!

As you will know if you follow our blog and our shows, here at Gandey World Class Productions we love anything and anyone who celebrates their own individuality and unique style. Channelling what's on the inside and creating your own unique celebration of who you really are is what we love. When we read about transgender catwalk model Nicole Gibson, who recently whipped up a storm on the catwalk, we were in awe of her confidence and beauty. Nicole was born in to a males body and named Glen, but is now celebrating her feminine curves and look, recently taking part in the phenomenal catwalk show arranged by  Edita from Pret-a-Reporter   in association with Models of Diversity called Catwalk4change .   Models of Diversity gives all races, ages, shapes, sizes and abilities the opportunity to break the fashion and marketing industries 'norm' by arranging modelling workshops and events to celebrate equal opportunities and diversity beyond the stereotypes. Nicole was

It's that time again where the Lady Boys of Bangkok join forces with Stargazer Cosmetics to challenge some of the UK's best beauty bloggers to a make up challenge, and this time the theme is HALLOWEEN. After the success of our last make up challenge, which saw Beauty's Bad Habit take the crown for the most beautiful ladyboys inspired look, we couldn't help but have another round of fabulous bloggers to take on the challenge!

FASHION: Kimono Crazy

Image
Kimonos are a hot trend this season, hurrah! If there's one thing the Lady Boys of Bangkok adore doing whilst in the UK it's SHOPPING. Each city has it's own haven of high street joy for the glamorous group to peruse and purchase, and it's no wonder when the UK High Street is so HOT right now (not temperature wise, of course). Autumn is now upon us and it's time to think about layering up and looking gorgeous at the same time, and what better way to do that than with a beautiful bold kimono?! Kimonos are a go-to garment for most seasons - whether it's lazying around a pool in the evening as the sun sets, or a night out on the tiles as the season changes, they're perfect for throwing on and keeping the breeze at bay.  Here's a beautiful selection of Kimonos you can find on the UK High Street right now!

If you're a fan of the Lady Boys of Bangkok UK show then you will have undoubtedly have heard all about our support of the Pattaya Street Kids charity . The UK registered charity was started in March 2000 and aims to give the street kids of Thailand a better quality of life by providing essential clothing and equipment, whilst also helping the children to gain a better education.

If you visit the  Kids in Pattaya Facebook page  you can see for yourself what kind of supplie

Moscow Grand Circus in Abu Dhabi

Image
From the 25th to the 28th of September 2013 Gandey World Class Productions take their unique brand of entertainment across the pond to the capitol of the United Arab Emirates - Abu Dhabi. The 'Moscow Grand Circus' is the newest venture to add to the Gandey portfolio of international productions and débuts at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre following the success of the Chinese State Circus which performed in the region last year. The show itself will demonstrate the 'varied shades of life' throughout the performance, which consists of an electric mix of circus acts, acrobatics and even clowns to add a zany spice to the mix! Phillip and Carol Gandey, who are both Directors at Gandey World Class Productions, are experts in taking traditional acts and delivering them to the audience in a contemporary style for the modern day, and the Moscow Grand Circus is certainly no exception.  Duo Charm set to perform as part of the Moscow Grande Circus in Abu Dhabi
