Up and Coming Events

So I have good news and bad news.

Bad news is that I am working 7 days a week and the likelihood of new videos being posted on my Youtube channel are slim to none.

Good news is that I will now have computer access mostly every day now AND I am guessing that (because of my whip work at the faire) I will have probably interesting things to talk about.

Keep your eyes peeled for a new video I shot during the week this past week. It's a "blind folded" whip routine that is interesting. I'm looking forward to sharing it with you all!

I am participating in a parade tomorrow which will *hopefully* involve me whip cracking. Always fun. Although admittedly I get afraid of damaging my whips on the pavement. I opt to do cracks that make sure the whip stays off the ground as much as humanly possible.  I am very excited!

Wish me luck and...

Until Next Time,

The road ahead

Hey there guys and ghouls

Gosh, it feels like forever since I was able to post!

It's been super crazy on my end what with both of my summer jobs kicking into gear but no worries, I am still practicing. Part of one of my jobs involves doing this crazy super epic dance with the whip so lucky for me I get to work and whip all in one!

At any rate, I also have some exciting news that's only sort of whip related: I'm engaged!!! (whip related because my fiancé is also a whip cracker (I know most of you were thinking something dirty >_<. ). Anyway, now I he a wedding to plan so that's going to be fun

In other news, I'm planning a mini trip to see Adam Winrich, which is exciting. He seems like a cool guy so I'm very much so looking forward to meeting him and watching his performance.

I'm also considering going to a convention/competition in the fall which would be interesting. The only problem is the timing might not work out because I'm moving at that time but even still, the potential is exciting to me

Also, I've been in touch with a few high schools and they are very interested in having me come in to work with the students on the practical historical and theatrical uses of the whip. (also wry exciting!)

So in brief lots of new exciting things going on. Should be posting again soon (thank god for smart phones!)

Keep an eye open for a " how to make a popper " video I'm posting.

Until Next Time,

Fairy Good for a First Try

Alright, So as many of you may (or may not know) I spend my summers, more often then not, pretending to be a fairy working at a renaissance faire. It sort of got me thinking. What would happen if I created some sort of "whip dance" and used it as my fairy? BRILLIANT!!

Naturally, I got to work. This is what came of it:

A little hap hazard, I know. But to be honest, I'm not really a dancer. I do have some background in Belly Dancing and I have taken a few dance classes before but surely not enough to really say I have "Mastered" the art in any way shape or form This was also my first attempt at "whip dancing". I think with a little polish, it could go a long way.

Unfortunately, I don't think this idea will really go anywhere as far as appearing at faire. But I think it would be fun to play with anyways. And who knows?  Can't hurt a girl for trying.

Heads up: The next few months are going to be hectic as both of my summer jobs are headed into full swing.  I swear, I will not forget about you all!


Until Next Time,
