This will be an international swap

Have you ever seen that show "Carnivale?" I think it was on HBO, but I happened to find it on DVD at the rental store. It is really good!

Anyways I thought it would be fun to do ATCs in that style. Bearded ladies, mysterious fortune teller, peep show girls... Really anything you might see in an "old timey" traveling carnival.

I'm not talking about cutsie/kids stuff. Not really Big Top Ringling Brothers Circus either. Creepy darker stuff is what I want you guys to come up with! I want these cards to be good and somewhat elaborate, but will not be placing any guidelines onto what mediums may/may not be used.

Due to the nature of this swap, if you are offended by nudity, divination/tarot/fortune telling, profanity please do not sign up, as I will not be placing any restrictions on what can be on these cards. Thank you!

You will have 1 partner and will be sending them 3 cards. This will be an international swap.

You must have a rating of 4.8 or above. You may have no recent no sends on your profile, and any past ones (2+ months) must have been rectified. I do check profiles, and will ban anyone who I feel may be a "dodgy" swappers.

You cannot be an "ATC Newbie" for this swap, and must be rated a 5 on at least 2 ATC swaps.

Thanks! Have fun!

Carnivale is one of my favorite shows! Sucks that they canceled it on a cliff-hanger!!

I know! I loved it so much! I can't watch tv shows like that anymore, because I always get depressed at the end! Like with Soprano's... Don't even get me started!

What an awsome idea! Carnivale was probably the best show of the decade.

On a slightly related note, one of my friends recently spotted THE Carnivale truck in Tucson, AZ. She followed it for a little while and verified that all the details were right... old style truck, license plate said "Carnivale," moon and stars on the door.... so it was either the truck they used in the show, or someone had taken great pains to make their vintage truck into a replica.

What would Samson say? Alright, children, let's shake some dust!

That's so cool. I bet it was the original!
