Contorting for Halloween Events!
I had so much fun working as a contortionist for some fun Halloween events! I had a spooky time working as a creepy mime contortionist at a Halloween Bar Mitzvah Event, and as a creepy doll contortionist at a Halloween Family Event! It was my first time experimenting with creepy makeup for the second gig, and I had so much fun trying out a new look!

I'm a...demon?!
I will be playing the part of a demon, Gawi, in the play "Gawi" by Nina Ki for Something Marvelous Productions' Night of New Works. "Gawi" is a 10 minute play that is being directed by Cage Pierre, and our task was to put together this play, get set pieces, and provide our own costume pieces within 6 rehearsals to put all together for one night of performance. There will be 5 other new works/plays premiering alongside "Gawi".


Living out my Pocahontas dreams!
I'm so used to being Moana at princess parties, that it felt so strange being another princess today- Pocahontas! But boy, did it feel like a dream come true for me! I got to be Pocahontas today for the annual photoshoot for the princess company I work for. I have loved and looked up to Pocahontas since I was a little girl, and being able to portray her was heaven! Maybe it won't be the last time I get to hang out with my girl Poca...
