OK, lets see...
I couldn't be on the high wire or tight rope because I am two left feet. I would for sure fall off and die.
I couldn't be the bearded lady...unless you glued whiskers on me.
There is no way you are getting me to stick MY head in a tiger's mouth.
Clowns...way too much makeup and that would be begging for me to get hurt...as also the person on stilts.
I know! Can I be the person that makes the cotton candy?
Oh wait! I can't do that! My sugar level would make me go into a diabetic coma.
That means I can't work near food.
OK, I got it...and I promise to study!
I wanna be the gypsy lady that reads tarot cards! :)

Ally, I can just think of soaring through the air at those heights and my heart races and I break into a cold sweat. If I were to be on the trapeeze, it best come furnished with some Depends.

As I am against animals in circus's I would love to be a trapeze artist. They have such grace the way they fly through the air and what amazing figures they have too.
I would love a nice young muscle bound trapeze fellow to catch me in his strong arms!!!What a great way to earn a living!!
I also love watching those who can hang onto a piece of cloth and spin round, suspend themselves at great heights and look so natural. Being able to do the splits was always an ambition for me, but I never quite perfected it!!

I am scared of heights so I wouldn't be able to do the acrobats, but I like to make people laugh and I am always laughing about something, so I would have to say a clown.

Sadly, I'd be the fat lady .. and the show would be over with me singing (badly, I might add).
If I had a choice though, I'd work with the animals or just be a boring ticket person or the person who stands outside the attractions and beckons people to come in and see the next amazing thing.
Fun question!

I think I would have to do some lion taming. I would like to say trapeze artist as they are all so awesome but with a body like mine I would probably pull the tent down lol! It would be good to work with the animals though so i'm opting to be a lion tamer!

HaHa!! Bizzie I hear you about pulling down the tent! I'm too afraid of heights too, so I will have to continue to admire the acrobats from afar!

Gee, if I was forced to be in the circus I think I'd have to be a clown or somebody who rode the horses around and did the tricks. Either one would be fun! I like to make people laugh, and heaven knows I sure have my goofy moments...On the other hand, I've been riding horses since I was 5, so that would be fun too.

I think my friends would say that I would have to be a clown. I love to entertain and clown around.

I would have to say the horse act. I love horses and would love to work and take care of them. Groom them, feed them and just generally take care of them. To do the acts on a horse for me would be seventh heaven.
