Another year of Sh'Bang!
There are snippets from the Big Circus Show!

The Cast!

 A taste of the off-road Soap Box Derby!

 The human Pinata!

 During the burlesque show, Poki cleared the table by sucking everything up with his "penis" vacuum. My friend Mylee also did a belly-dance twerking act that had me in stitches!

Wren and I performed our half hour circus variety show in the rain!

We were also part of the rainy Aquatic Circus, hosted by these two clams.

Sadye and I were part of the Aquatic Circus as hot dog narwhals. Here's me with my sweet friend Libby and her sweet pal! Moments after this, they saved me from my horn/tooth being caught in a tree!

The finale of the synchronized swimming act for that show included a multitude of swimmers, and one in the giant ball!

My dear friend Mylee performed this backwards mask dance (something we have done together as well!) with her pal from Chico, and various other dances while her brother accompanied her on guitar.

Random Cool Things... this place is called the Tripping Hazard.

Dad! And his visiting furry calico, Princess Gary! Dad has been coming to Sh'Bang for a bunch of years now, it's so great having him here for the whole weekend! He brings all the supplies to make pancakes, sausage, hamburgers and hot dogs to share! It's so great to have him there!

Mom and Dad's 44th Anniversary

This year mom and dad decided to celebrate their 44th Anniversary by staying at the Lummi (Dad's an official "card-holder" now) casino hotel, and coming to Vaudevillingham.

Sadye and I sang her hot dog song, with a few added lines to help celebrate their 44 year anniversary.

This was their reaction, captured by the talented Thaddeus Hink.

Priceless. I love these two!

Mom and Pops at Vaudevillingham

My folks came to Vaudevillingham this month. I was so excited to hear they were coming, I put an act together with them in mind. I was offered the opportunity to run it the day before for James and Jamsie's feedback showing of their newest show. I was so delighted, and nervous, and grateful for it... the feedback helped me shape it better for the Vham show for my folks. Here's the Vham line up.

I called myself "Twirella Awesomella". I was a kid version of myself, performing for my parents a song and dance with a moustache ribbon (photo by Thaddeus Hink).

 It was fun acknowledging them, I just love and appreciate them so much! Here we are after the show...

Along with a bunch of Guildies who also love them!

Aaaaand, one in particular that mom reeeealy liked...

 Patrick. Just like my dad's name.

He was a good sport.
Another awesome? Well, my dad (after seeing so many performers from the Valentine's Day Show huddled around two bathroom mirrors) bought the Guild two plug-in rolling suitcase vanity mirrors with lights and everything! Here's Heidi using it.

And he donated more of his "Dads Hats". He said since I won't take money from him, he has to find some way to "make it fair" between my siblings and I. Well, whether I think his rational is necessary or not, the entire circus guild was delighted by his extremely thoughtful and generous contribution, and have been using it ever since. Thanks dad!

My Circus Valentine 2015

This was the 5th (almost) Annual Circus Valentine's Day show.

The last show (2 years ago) Wren and I performed our rope act in wedding attire. This year's show I performed the moustache strip-tease.

My parents came! Jeff Lefferts set up his photo booth so we got some sweet shots.

Wren was there too!

 

So many people were there!

Sometimes when things are so cute, it's just gross.

Wren and I took our time in the booth seriously.

 We had a few differences of opinion.

 But we quickly settled them.

 But didn't know Jeff was still photographing!

 It all worked out in the end though with no one getting (seriously) hurt.

 Cecily snapped this doosey of me trimmin' my 'stache backstage.

 The cast.

Happy Valentine's Day!
