Life, love and everything....Circus is my passion and has consumed me.... Music, Burlesque, dancing, silks, corde lisse, static trapeze, aerial hoop, a chinese pole/poledancing combo affair, hula hooping, Funfairs, sparkle, Trash, Glamour, pin ups, Great films, Cabaret, painting, making costumes/outfits, immersing myself in surreal literature, comedy (as much as poss) cream teas and baking!
I adore all creatures (but for every rule there is an exception, mine is wasps) My favourites list is huge but these are right up there: Ocelots, fossas, ring tailed lemurs, pygmy marmosets, red & fennec foxes, red pandas, black jaguars, all seahorses and pipefish, humpback whales AND horseshoe crabs (Oh yes!) for their incredible coagulating value to medicine (without being harmed)and utter beautiful forms and longevity above any other creature.
Oh... and Olive's dance in little miss sunshine makes me very happy. The end.
