About
I currently work for the Cameron Carnival as a domesticated clown. I’m the head clown in this family’s circus act. Usually, I’m juggling upside down or falling on my head.On my down times I can be seen with my noise stuck in a good book, spilling coffee down my shirt, and aimlessly wandering about wondering where did I put my glasses.
You can always drop me a line at belleofthecarnival@hotmail.com.
What a great job!
Oh! It’s one of the best jobs in the world! Now where did I put my keys?
i just figured out your name isn’t Victoria. i’m so dumb!
LOL! You are not dumb! Don’t ever say that – it’s a long story – I started tweeting as victorias_view, I then discovered BlogHer, it’s then I started blogging, and after a while I came out with my real name
I just liked the sound of Victoria and now it’s too much work to change it;)
You seem pretty lucky to me. I would love to have a job which allowed me to muck about during work. I love your Blog
Thank you! I do love my job and I wouldn’t change it for the world!
I also love your blog! It always gets me thinking and questioning
Just to mention I’ve added you to my Blogroll if that helps at all. If you get visited by any strange Albanians let me know.
Hahaha! Thank You! I’m intrigued by these strange Albanians
Hey– sorry to post on your blog, didn’t know how to get a hold of you! I was just going through our subscribers, and wanted to let you know we’ve had a mini facelift on the blog, and I dread being a pain… but we switched from wordpress.com to wordpress.org which means— subscribers have to sign up again. I was suprised to find out there was no way to transfer over all of our current subscriptions! Boo. Anyways, we would love for you to continue following us.. if you don’t mind signing up one more time! Really like your theme, and the blog’s name– cute
Thanks,
Nicky & Rhys

Thanks! I can’t wait to check out your new site
That is so awesome, I wish I could juggle upside down! (let alone juggle!)
LOL! I try! It doesn`t mean the balls all stay in the air
You’re a clown? Wow! I’ve never known a real clown before. I think that’s pretty cool.
I’m a very inadequate clown…
What an interesting occupation! I’m looking forward to reading your blog.
It has its moments and always keeps me on my toes! Thank you for stopping by – I look forward to seeing more of you
Hey! thanks for visiting my blog all of those months ago. yours is deliciously charming.
I love reading blogs by moms. They often have the most interesting things to say. Cheers!

Thank you! It’s very kind of you to think of me as versatile
I love clowns, I saw some on tv and they made me laugh. My dad gets uncomfortable when he sees them, I don’t understand why but he says “blame Pennywise” ?????
Hahaha! Your dad is a very wiseman! I’m terrified of those types of clowns!
Wow, a clown! That sounds like an awesome career!
uponatlas.
Thanks! It can be quite the juggling act
Found you through FP! I always found clowns a bit creepy but you’re definitely nto so I’m following
Thank you for the Follow and love your posts especially The Queen Bee!

Queen Bees are just one of those Hazards we all have to deal with in life. Thank you for taking the time to read my posts and comment. It means the world to me
Domesticated Clowns are rarely creepy – it is only when they consort with other clowns like Pennywise then it is a whole different story. Thank you for the follow! I look forward to seeing more of you
You certainly seem to be riding the wave my dear, good job, 181 likes and over 500 comments, that is busy work and appreciation in action. Most people do not get that kind of acceptance or response in a 12 year period.
Thanks for stoppin by my watering hole today and checking out Missing Boomer, tomorrow will be the bus stop and a little mind bender.
Oh, by the way …. I am a tree hugger if this counts?
DS
The warm responses have been unbelievable and greatly appreciated
Tree hugging is number 1 in my books! Can’t wait to check-out the bus stop!
Because I love your blog and because you’re awesome:

You rock! Thank you! A wonderful award!
—How Interesting…
Sort of like “Water for Elephants?”
Fascinating. WOW!
Do you live with the troupe?
I have never seen or read Water for Elephants – how sad is that? I do have a troupe and they are all very entertaining
Hi, can you add your name to this? http://uponatlas.wordpress.com/category/the-name-game/
Basically, write you name onto a blank piece of paper, hold it front of your body, and take a photo of it (body shot only to preserve anonymity), send it to me and I’ll post your name up.
I’m trying to amass different names; and it’ll be amazing to see the different names that people have! I hope you take part in this, it’ll be fun! If you want to see what I’m talking about, the link will show you

I would love too! It sounds like a neat project
I live your carnival themed life, “a domesticated clown”. My husband and I have a circus theme that helps us cope with each other and the world. It’s fun.
It makes the ups and downs much funner
You might already have a lot of this with you and yet here I am passing the Versatile Blogger award to you. Check this out: http://justbeingthoughtful.wordpress.com/2011/12/01/question-25/

You’ve been Liebster-ed for being so fantastic.
uponatlas.
You are fantastic too! Thank you for the Liebster
I like the concept of a domestic clown–the other sort have always left me wanting, but domesticity lends itself to so many balancing acts, comic bits, and so forth. From what I’ve seen of your work, you are mastering a whole bunch of those arts very neatly! Cheers!
Kathryn

As there has been some confusion, I’d like my nominees to know, that the Versatile Blogger Award is given to you, if you declare to accept it by making a post on your blog!
That post must have the rules 1-4 (you’ll find them in my post here: http://looserornot.wordpress.com/2012/03/14/the-versatile-blogger-award-yes-im-the-chosen-one/) fulfilled, that’s all.
There is not a jury or a person picking one particular winner! The nominees themselves decide, if they want to accept the award.
For further questions, don’t hesitate to contact me, and congrats if you choose to take the badge of honor.
P.S.: Consider this as a private message to you. There is no need to approve it.
