what kind of stuff did you do in that circus? i saw it online and i wanted to join but i have to wait till im at least 18 cause they dont take minors. do they have really good coaches?

Wow that amazing!!:)
Great work, your a big insipration!

the course was great, and the coaches we had were very good...especially my handstand and contortion coaches- a romanian family who came with their 2 children (a 11 year old boy and a baby). their son was also an amazing handbalancer!

look at these photos of them...! img.photobucket.com . . .

we also had other coaches but i didnt spend as much time with them as i specialised in handbalance. they were also really nice and excellent teachers.

whoa..

hmmmmmmm...pretty neat but you need to look aggressive!! arrrg!! and have your best attire!!

actually, i do act rather agressive in my act! i have a character act as a spider. i tend to target my attention on the attractive male members of teh audience! hehehe! it really gets their girlfriends to become possesive!

i'm getting my act dvd soon. i'll post a few clips once it arrives!

That handstand is well impressive Fi. It looks great.

Those other photos are beautifulllll.

I'd love to go to the circus..It would be amazing. xxx

That sweater is out of control!

O_o Fantastic Snoopy, pm me if you put up any video's please. Your handstand is cool, your back flexibility is always great.

The circus pictures are ace too, got anymore for us?

i know! if i drop my head towards the floor it tries to escape... i have managed to accidentally take off various sweaters and tops by letting them slide during training. i make a point of training in a nice bra! hehe!

I'm stealing your back. *Runs out, very spylike, grabs back and replaces it with mine.* You could have my little sister instead?

nah sorry - i love my back. but i would swap my hips.... and i would love a nice long pair of legs!

and i have posted more circus photos somewhere on this site but i'm not sure if you've seen them...so i'll post them again!

they are not contortion piccies but just random circus fun!


this one is my favourite, we got onto this ride for free- it was sooo good!


we dressed as clowns to get on the fairground rides for free!


grrrr!


one of our first promo shots


our ring, minus the ring kerb. this is where we trained, ate dinner, watched movies, lazed around and did shows!


full house!


build up- uncoiling the wires to the king-poles. i look miserable (im the shorty in the green top and addidas bottoms) but i was just concentrating really hard! you know the annoyance and confusion you feel when your headphones get all tangled? this is the same , just magnified like 100 times! the cables/rope stretch from the top of the central kingpoles to outside the ring of stakes- thats a lot of cable/rope to untangle!

you can see all the cables etc in this photo: the king poles are the two metal poles you can see sticking up aboue the canvas. check out out little box office- its so cute!



cool backstage photo


even circus stars do laundry!!



trip to london to buy makeup and costumes in covent garden. we were very loud and annoying on the tube!


arty contact ball photo


i found a little filthy dog to play with when we went to visit another circus. they were amazed that it let me pick it up and cuddle it- normally it bites... i have the power!



we went partying!


another fairground ride photo. we couldnt actually go on this ride as the max age was 7 and we would have all got stuck in the tunnels....ah well!

and last but not least-

this was a common site. the police even had our registration plates on record. we were bad! lol! nothing serious though. we just had a romainian driver who looked like a terrorist....

here he is:

see what i mean?! but he was a lovely guy, really friendly. definately not a terrorist!

Please? You can't have my hips or legs though. I wouldn't want to give anyone my injured left hip, knees, ancles or feet. Sometimes I can barely walk. You could have Kazakova's? I promise, she won't feel a thing!

ooooh, good deal! and my left hip and right knee cause me lots of pain too. in fact, so do my shoulders....damm hypermobility! no injuries though- just random pain! but i would LOVE splits like Kazakova

keep posting

ciao ciao
