i’m joining the big apple circus (for a very brief moment)
The Big Apple Circus is in town. And apparently I’m going to be in it.
It’s just a bit part. Nothing fancy. Just the GUEST RINGMASTER.
You see, the nice folks over at the Big Apple Circus generously invited some of us NYC area bloggers to one of their shows and then they graciously invited me to be the guest ringmaster. Which means I get to wear an authentic ringmaster coat and introduce the second act.
My first thought: I will throw up, hyperventilate and die.
My second thought: Hey, if I don’t throw up, hyperventilate and die, this will totally be fun. I hope the jacket looks cute on me.
My third thought: If the ringmaster coat looks cute, will they let me keep it?
My fourth thought: Of course they won’t let me keep it. Don’t be so greedy Kelcey
My fifth thought: Maybe I should wear my Priscilla Presley/Amy Winehouse wig.
My sixth thought: Put away the wig. I’ve suffered enough humiliation with that beehive.
I figure at the very least my appearance could make me a contender for Bello the Clown’s understudy.
And this is sure to snap Rick out of his post World Series Phillies’ blues. When your favorite team doesn’t come through, you can always count on your wife to join the circus.
And if something goes wrong, I can always just jump on one of those show horses and gallop back to Westchester Julia Roberts’ style.

Do you get to wear your hair like the guy depicted at the top of the circus website? Cuz I think you could rock that look!
Tell your husband I said sorry about the Phils. I tried to get my cat to make them win again. I’m sure she was responsible for them winning Game 5. But she’s old, so she couldn’t pull it out for Game 6. Maybe next year.

Ringmaster-shmingmaster! Anyone can don a top hat and a glitzy jacket and say some stuff into a mike – get in the wonderwheel and THEN I’ll be impressed! ( : We went last week – I particularly enjoyed the ping pong ball guy. Alex is going this weekend – how cool will that be if she sees you!! Hey, maybe you can spice it up, do a cartwheel and become a new gymnast! I WANT VIDEO!! Enjoy ( :

Beyond awesome blog perk.
Guess they figure if you are a mom, you can most certainly handle a frickin CIRCUS.
Make us proud.
And give them my name.
I totally want to ride an elephant.

Your kids must be losing their minds. Forget every other achievement in your life, “My mommy is a ringmaster” is definitely the coolest thing in their minds.
Performance hint – Eat before you go on. Not enough to make you throw up, but at least enough so you won’t pass out. And don’t lock your knees – or you might pass out. And don’t forget to breath. But don’t breath so much you hyperventilate. Okay, I’ve frightened you now haven’t I. Sorry. Break a leg!

Let me know if you see the Octomom performing with her Magic Vagina; out of which a total of 14 CLOWNS emerge. Wait, I meant to say ‘BABIES’.
[Reply]
Gobsmacked with jaw drooping. That is too cool.
[Reply]
Wow! And that’s just for your new website look.
Double Wow for your ringmaster gig.
[Reply]
What fun! have a great time. Leave the wig at home.

1. Go Kelc go!
2. You will look cute in the ringmaster coat.
3. If they let you keep it you are set with a Halloween costume for life (ok, at least for next year)
4. I am sure this will cheer Rick up
[Reply]
that’s so fun! i bet your daughters are so excited!
[Reply]
I’m jealous. I’ve always wanted to run off and join the circus.
[Reply]
awww man! I can’t believe I will miss this! Good luck and I am totally coveting the ring master jacket that you may or may not keep.
[Reply]
Sydney is too far to drop in, but would love to see a piccie in due course! Enjoy!!!
[Reply]
You are too funny. I’m dying to hear how it turned out and hopefully you did not throw up
[Reply]
Will they give me a jacket too? Now I want one;)
[Reply]
