Webster Hall Concert Crazies

The Dresden Dolls (a band from Boston) came to NYC for their C.D. release party last night. Some friends and I decided to go, so we got all dressed up pretty and went out.
Being as short as I am, I couldn't really see, but seeing musicians isn't as fun as dancing anyway. We went up to the balcony and found some empty space in the back where we could dance.

But, being obsessed with handstands and walkovers and basic acro skills, I spent the whole time playing around with that. Luckily I had some partners in crime.

(The skirt I was wearing didnt last long as I couldn't do acro in it. : ) )

We attracted several photographers, one of which emailed me photos. With my busy training and working schedule I don't experience NYC night life very often, but last night was a blast.

Yellow SuperHero

Well, since we spend such a large percentage of our lives around here in the circus business wearing leotards and unitards and otherwise obnoxiously tight spandex-like clothing, we have opted for a more colorful batch to increase the tacky aspect of it all. A few good laughs help the reality that no-one really looks good in a unitard.

My latest addition is the most blinding yellow one could imagine, which can easily be transferred into a bug outfit, add a cape for a superhero, or wings for a glowing fairy.
Let your imagination run wild.

Photos!! Trapeze, Silks, Handstands...

.







Finally, pictures of what I do. Not such great pictures, as my camera is sort of cheap...as in free (I found it while unicycling), but at least it is something.



The trapeze stuff are shots from the routine I am working on. I just recently got "promoted" so my trapeze is a bit higher off the ground now.









































The silks are a load of fun. That is me in a prep position before I let go of the fabric and do a "drop."












The handstand I just finally was able to ballance and hold for awhile today. That was my big achievement of the day.




Training is fun. I can finally climb the rope and silks with NO FEET (pulling all me weight up with just my upper body). That is exciting cuz it means I am getting stronger. They keep teasing me that I will be so top heavy pretty soon, but I think I still have the hips and booty to ballance it all out. : )
