  • slimey freaks this scares me(wrote by mia)

  • @Mindsi2 Agreed. At this time, these people had hardly any choices but to actually join a freak show. It was hard on some, others didn't mind and loved the attention. Very few had any other choices outside of being a part of a freak show.

  • i recognize Zip and pip they were in Tod Brownings freaks it was on cable tv last year really late they were really sweet freindly pepole and very child like and all they wanted to do was hug pepole id have given them a hug
