For the ninth week of our contest, you will be designing a look based on dark-circus performers. Each of you have been assigned a different sort of act/circus role for you to draw inspiration from. Remember that you are not designing a costume. you are designing a look based on the dark-circus theme.

If you're confused about what I mean by 'dark circus' just tell me and I'll try to explain.

Participation for this week will be [b]mandatory[/b]. It's getting too hard to justify knocking out the person with the lowest score when not everyone participated. And doing things that way would mean anyone could just dodge elimination by skipping a week which isnt fair.

Remember, when you post you doll please put the theme and the name of your doll in the title. Click here to view the schedule for Big Top week.

Note: Now that the theme is announced you can begin making your dolls for week 9! Just don't post them until the date and time on the schedule =)
