It's not the carnies that are nasty! Losers as Art VI
I am sure that wherever you go in the states, or probably the world too, you have carnivals coming around town. Since I don't care about driving distances too much, and I'm always on the search to find prime loser material, I figured a carnival would be a good place to capture some of those grubby carnies! I hadn't actually been to a carnival in a long time, and kind of forgot what it's really like.
Fuck the carnies, it's the people that visit these places that are the biggest losers! Now I am NOT saying that you are a loser if you go to a carnival or fair or whatever. Where else will you get to eat that tasty fried dough and cotton candy anyways? Or treat your kids to a $6 snowcone and a ride on the rusty tilt-a-whirl?
What I am saying, is there are some seriously big losers that hang around these places, and I had a great adventure capturing them! I decided to capture these models at the Oswego County Fair in Sandy Creek NY.
Now this is an actual carnie, well kinda. She was selling some kind of trinkets, and I couldn't resists capturing her toned arms, clear skin and perky bosoms.
When have you ever seen one of those stuffed animal games with the crane only costing 25 cents! Now if only this guy had 25 cents.
Look at those toned legs!
Im guessing that the purse she's holding was probably bought at the fair, and contains various things like no money, marlboro reds, one of those flattened pennies with I LOVE YOU stamped on it from 22 years ago.
OHH is Mr C looking at us?
The snowflake shirt is so in season! Whats in her fanny pack, mittens? Probably lipstick and extra clip on earrings just in case.
Another fashionable shoe model.
This is the closest to a mullet I could get. Is it a mullet? Hmmm.
I cannot picture what the hell her stomach would look like without that stunning shirt she has on. Look at the amazing tone and form that could only have been the result of decades of eating healthy food.
Doesn't she look like a skinned turkey! Look at those turkey legs! Gobble Gobble!
To the taffy station! Large sticky gobs of taffy to shove down his gullet and into the fatty abyss.

They look scary! Ohmygod.I feel bad for them!
Who knew Jabba the Hutt loved taffy?
This has to be your masterpiece.
The porta potty couple was particularly handsome...and the setting apropos. I'm wondering if the size of her tummy was before, or after her session.
Oh, Mr. C. Summertime in NY is a joy to behold. Where else in the world can we see such beautiful bodies in all their glory? Kudos on the action sequence, by the way. How the fuck did he not notice you following him all papparazzi-style? My guess is that he was on auto-pilot, drawn to the food vendor on raw animal instinct and scent alone...
And you know I laughed SO fucking hard when you said 'fanny pack'. HAHAHAHA!
(For the uneducated: 'fanny' means 'vagina' in the real English-speaking world.)
HAHAHAHA VAGINA!
ha ha genius. I also love it when americans say 'fanny pack' as in england fanny is vagina :)
People like those don't just hang out at your local fair grounds. You need to take a trip down south and see the whales we have on the beaches,and they aren't dress as modestly either!
Of course they're all going to be fat. Have you ever seen what there is to eat there? Fried this, fried that. Gross.
Mr. Condescending this is some good photography you got here and the subjects....well I'm not sure whether to shake my head, laugh or feel compassion. They all seriously could use to take a few steps away from the carnival food and perhaps take a few laps around the carnival.
I got to give Ms. Perky some credit, at least she wore a bra, that tells me she still has pride, go girl!
As for the taffy ass, he should be ashamed for wanting it, but after that strenuous walk, why not taffy it up? hehe
Andhari - yes its a scary place as it is!
Jenks - lol @jabba!
Jaded - thanks :). Lol that print shirt must have been custom fitted for her sculptured belly.
Girl - I threw the fanny pack reference just for you! Fanny Fanny Fanny
Miss H - Fanny Fanny Fanny haha I can't stop saying it!
Thinkinofyou - Well take some pics I wanna see.
Jules - all that gristle helps give them the energy they need to make it through there days in the trailer.
Peach tart - thanks for liking the photography :) and lol @the running, you are so right!
Lady Sarcasm - chica I think he needs a bra too! He could even store some extra taffy in it.
You're not right! ( . )( . )
I would highly recommend you visit the Mid-South Fair in Southaven, Mississippi, in September. Bring your camera and don't forget to try a deep fried Snickers bar. :0

Cortico. Wow a deep fried candy bar? Haha WOW that is true carny glutton.
Now I'm starting to feel like our fairs are kinda classy.
So that's where the cool kids hang out. And the athletes!
The last few with the dude finally ending up at the food stand?
Brilliant.
Here's a link to one of my favorite blog posts. It's about Carny housing. Let me know what you think.

Taffy man made me LOL, he was totally on auto-pilot.
I love fried dough but so many of these people -look- like it that I'm repulsing myself. Ugghhhhh~
Mo- yes and trailer parks!
Zibbs - I would encourage EVERYONE to read that post, its on the same level of brilliance the taffy shot had.
Sami - fried dough is sometimes worth the trauma
The 'Journey of the Taffyman' should be exhibited in sequence at a museum.
Eric - any room in yours? Hook a fellow blogger up!
Third photo: THAT'S what I'm talking about!! I do not want my ass and legs to look like that when I'm... whatever age that lady in the picture is. Looking at her knocked knees makes me cringe (took a biomechanics class and can't stand people who have bad standing posture)
Skinned turkey photo: I'm convinced that if the guy in black wasn't sitting on the other side of the picnic table, she would have tipped over the table and fallen backwards. Actually, I almost tipped over and fell off my hammock the other night. HAHAH.
I was going to give portapotty woman the benefit of the doubt and call her pregnant...but you know better than I.
And Taffy guy seriously looks like an Army tank on a mission. My favorite pics yet!
You might be in the wrong profession. Stalking seems to come very naturally to you. =)
P.huong - oh that posture comes from years of standing in lines waiting to bitch about not enough cheese on the hamburger, or to claim winning scratch off tickets. I hope that never happens to you too!
JJ - lol thanks :). If she was giving birth, it would be to gooey star crunches and strawberry slimjims.
OWO - anyone you need stalked?
haha so do you take their pictures to feel better about yourself and your standing in the world? because i would think that'd be MY motivation if i took them :X
man I have met a few americans here in Japan and man you guys are just built different to us. I just look at some of them and think like serious how is it possible to even get that big..
Looked like "The Biggest Loser" casting call! LOL!
What a pictorial. :) Not surprising at the great state fair but wow...
OMG - makes me wonder if 'Oswego' in Indian translates to 'Avert Your Eyes' in English?
Uh hello, I love you. This.is.awesome.
ugh, i have to admit I love the NYS Fair...my family has been known to go annually, and yes, every year a little piece of me dies when I see what America has done to itself.
This truly makes me sad and sometimes I hate myself for working in a restaurant when I see huge, on their deathbed people come in, order three courses and take home an extra dessert. Sure the tips pretty sweet...but I sort of feel like dr. kavorkian!
Ugh, I hate Crocs! They are so ugly! Also, that one fat lady with the crazy shirt looks like a torso on a stick... how are her legs that skinny when the rest of her is so... not?
oh no! not the carnies! totally creepy
I would not be surprise if those chicks did want to hook up with you.
I'm so terrified, on the radio they said in 40 years everyone living in the US will be fat!!! I will stick to my non-fatty ways and move away.
That first american beauty looked like a mutant version of Ross Perot's head on Kirstie Ally's body...You gotta LOtta esplainin to do jenny craig...
Haha hell no. You only stalk ugly folks. If any stalking is done by me or on my behalf....they'll be sexy folks.
Mr. C: Not only do you find and picture these awesome people, but you manage to crack me up with every single comment. Literally laughing out loud here!
and don't lie to us, we know you are highly attracted to most of these women...ESPECIALLY big boobs in picture numero uno!!!
These people...they save up all year to buy their $6 sno-cones! The fair/carnival is like Disney land to them!
Now you've done it! I'm craving taffy like mad!
That was the funniest fucking thing I have ever seen.
Floreta - yes, in fact I have written basically the same statement in past posts.
Prometheus - with fast food at every corner and lazy kids, you get fatties here,
Otin - LOL!
Jenny- I can't wait to capture the NYS fair! Its in september.
NancTWOP - haha it just may be!
Jess - thanks for the love :)
Irene - The nys fair is fun, and wonderful comment on the kevorkian effect!
Amandasaurus - I'm wondering the same, its still a mystery.
Jaime - yep heh
Anna G - oh I'm in total agreement with you!
SG46 - lol jesus
OWO - Aw
Lopez - you are getting more and more funny with your comments, I'm glad I make you laugh :)
These are pretty intense. I love your first caption. And the fanny pack, of course. Always love a good fanny pack.
What I wouldn't do to have those perky breast (pic.#1). No wait, maybe I want some taffy instead.
Although I have no idea what a taffy is.
That's not just a mullet... it's actually the beginnings of a SKULLET, if I'm not mistaken...
Don't be hatin' on Crocs, Mr. C!
My heavens!!! The fat lady used to be the carnival attraction. Not the damn crowd WTF!! Please just stop eating. PLEASE!!!
Carnies were above the law... They would give you packs of cigarettes as prizes when you were fourteen! Dental insurance was not an option in their life, and they all seemed to be from the South... They fascinated me as a teen- 20th century gypsies I guess....
I'm curious, do the carnivals there have deep fried candy bars? (actual candy bars, dipped in some sort of batter and deep fried until the consistency of a deep fried diarrhea)
I could see Mr. Taffy lured towards it like a moth to a flame...burned by desire...and that stinging in his chest.
we have rodeos. So cowboy carnivals. Also, I hate crocks. Also, have you seen Food, INC? All the fat people remind me of that movie.
I HEART carnies. I am now thanking you for a small peak inside their wicked, little world.
now I am so looking forward to the carni this year.. can't wait.. now.. off to check out diets..
CotN - the fanny pack is my new favorite word.
Dutch - taffy is horrible, 'cept salt water taffy.
LiLu - lol @skullet!
Jenners - nowhere did I say I hated crocs
hit40 - yes, they need to stop the insanity! like susan powter.
buffalodick - they fascinate me still, I can definitely see them giving out cigs as prizes hah!
Critty - I have heard of that but never seen it. Somewhere, deep fried ice cream is served too.
Valerie - rodeos! lol. no I have never seen that movie, it sounds like it would be grossly realistic though.
Lola - they are a dreamy bunch huh! heh.
Mr. C, in your spiffy french cuffs, and with those knockout blue eyes, I bet you stand out like a roach on a wedding cake at these kinds of functions.
Or do you go native and wear a Scooby Do shirt? ;)
These photos always leave me conflicted. On one hand I kinda feel sorry for them, yes they're gross, but they're still human, they still have feelings, and maybe they don't deserve some of the cruel ridicule and really harsh comments that get voiced on this blog.
On the other hand, they did that to themselves. Which kinda makes me want to yell "FFS! Just do yourself a favour and get a salad or get a gun"
:/ *sigh*
