June through Instagram.

Experimenting with photobooth. Want to do a film serious like this. 

I took Louisa and Sabrina to Franklin Park. I love the carousel there.

Flying.

Me & Ludwig.

A cloud.

Practicing my back balance. I can hold it forever now!

Went to a fun pool party with my friend Nick.

Nick.

Dani and our moms came for a visit. We had coffee in Rittenhouse.

I got these shoes, because I can't resist anything sparkly. They're almost like walking on stilts, almost.

Dani and I danced our bums off at Silk City.

Then I went to Blanchard for a visit.

Met some cool butterflies.

Got a new bicycle. She's beautiful & fast!

Hung out poolside at my aunt & uncle's place.

Got lots of practice rolling joints, because I forgot my pipe.

Can I live here, please? I could set up so much awesome aerial equipment in that barn..

Hung out on my mom's boat.

It was a glorious day. I swam away most of it.

Mermaid me. 

Awesome things: 1. I ordered myself some silks & they will be here very soon! I got them in this lovely shade of plum which will look fantastic in our loft. 2. My aerial classes are on Tuesday evening now, which means I can go to open practices over the weekend, which means a hell of a lot more training time (like 7 or 8 hours a week), which means I'm going to start making some serious progress.  3. Jim has weekends off now so we will have those days to spend together and do fun things. We already have lots of weekend trips planned. 4. I'm running again, which always makes me super happy & energetic. 


Blog things: In an effort to post more regularly, I've decided that I'm going to shoot & blog one roll of film per week. I'm going to use disposable cameras because they're so easy to carry around. I'm also debating changing my "Things I like" posts to more of a "Things that inspire Me" kind of thing. Any feedback on what you would like to see on my blog would be much appreciated, assuming anyone still  reads it, haha!

Disowned.

I apologize to the two people who read my blog for my absence, it's been a while! That's because my partner Dani and I have been working day and night to launch our own vintage store. Disowned Clothing Co.'s online shop is now up and running and you find can our hand selected  vintage pieces at www.shopdisowned.com. Also, on tumblr we're giving away a really awesome pair of vintage sunglasses in celebration of our grand opening. You can enter the giveaway here.

What else is new? Trying to adhere to a regular training schedule for aerials. I'm finally noticing that my form is getting more fluid and refined. So, that's exciting. Anyway, here's a video of me doing a drop on the corde lisse:

Happiness.

Happiness to me comes in the form of a metal hoop suspended from the ceiling of our loft. Jim is wonderful. He got the lyra for me for Christmas and it took a lot of emailing the amazing Trevor of trapezerigging.com to figure out how to rig it properly, but we finally got it worked out. It came untaped, so I taped it black because I don't really like the way they look taped white. I may add some red stripes later...Not sure. I've had a projector for a long time, but was missing the necessary cords so Jim and I remedied that the other day and have been watching things like Willow and Lord of the Rings in our own personal movie theatre ever since. The top two photos are a little experiment Jim and I did last night... You can expect a lot more projector shots to come! So much fun.

Things I Like: The Traveling Circus Part III

All photos courtesy of Retronaut. 


 When I found these images on Retronaut I fell in love with them! It's so great to see color photos of old circus performers.

I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests. I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans.

Well, I thought I would have better photos of our new place, but this was all that was decent on the roll I got back. My beloved Canon AE-1 is finally really dying. Half of the frames were just black! I am very sad. I guess it was good to remind myself why I never shoot black and white, haha, I'm not very good at it! I look at my black and white photographs and just wish they were in color.

I went to the circus school yesterday for open practice and exhausted myself on the corde lisse. I practiced the upside down descent to catchers to catchers arabesque over and over a million times. My right thigh is all black and blue and I have some pretty serious rope burn in my armpit, haha, but no pain no gain, right?
