On another subject, my contortion is still going wonderful! :) progress has slowed a bit because of the cold weather and holiday season, but I am still very happy with my progress! :) I am excited to share with everyone that along with my contortion I have added a few new acts to my sideshow act, I have added fire preforming (fire eating, fire breathing, fire poi, fire fans, fire hoop, etc..), I am training in sword swallowing right now!, block head (not the most dainty thing in the world, but thats that haha), and I am hopping to start cyr wheel sometime very soon when I can afford one, knife throwing and target girl, and blade box! haha those are just some of my newly added acts to my forever growing act!
Now since I have started sword swallowing training I have been just a bit obsessed haha :P I found some wonderfully amazing vintage pictures of female sword swallowers that I am beyond excited to share! here they are!
The photo below is of lady Margurite
This photo below is of Lady Vivian and Mimi Garneau
Now for the last thing I would like to show is this incredible video of a female knife thrower who uses her two young daughters ages 5 and 2 1/2 as target girls! their act was very popular in the 1950's
