The Silk Road - Rite of Passage
Monday night silks class was the usual practice of my tricks. The “Dry Hands” liquid rosin I’ve been using was marking up the silks, so I can’t use it anymore. Not sure if it’s because I was using regular rosin or if the silks were really clean, but it was hard to climb. I still can’t jump into the hip key, but soon I will own that fothermucking move. Heather...

The Silk Road: Chapter 4.
The time aerial silks gave me whiskey leg
I think I can now definitively say that the New York Trapeze School is not my favorite place to take silks classes. Everyone is too professional, too advanced, and way too confused by my “I’ve got a year to learn this” schtick. They ask me if I’ve introduced more protein into my diet and if it’s for weight loss. NO! It’s so I can be awesome! GOD! No one...

A Photo A Day 318/365: Secret Crush Valentine Party, New York, NY
Hosted by the one and only vonHottie.
There was a kissing booth.
There was a hilarious comedy performance.
There was an amazing singer/accordion player.
There were tattoos.
There was a DJ that played awesome music.
There was a dance floor.
And of course, there were valentines.

Hear ye, hear ye! I climbed the silks!
Let it be marked in the annals of history that January 21 in the year Two Thousand and Eleven was the day that von Hottie first climbed the silks. Oyez, oyez! During Monday’s class, I hung on like hell to the silks without falling, and during this afternoon’s class, I did the same. Heather said, “Now put it all [hanging, standing, climbing] together.” So I grabbed on, and I...

Dear von Hottlettes,
We all know I’m all about celebrating - especially during the holiday season - but I’m also wary of burn out and that “Ugh, what I have done to myself?” feeling come January. Enter Social Workout 2.0, which is re-launching in time to help you remember to take just a little care of yourself during this super-fun, super-gluttonous season. Oliver (♥...
"Who will plow my vulva?" - Inanna, the original...
This weekend, while participating in an early workshop for Little Lord’s spring show, JewQueen, based on the biblical story of Esther, I learned about the goddess Inanna.
Inanna is my new favorite goddess, and quite possibly the Mother of all von Hottness. Also, I want her poem to be my new audition monologue. Here is the excerpt I read, emphasis mine.
“Who will plow my vulva?” Perhaps...
My Third Worst Aerial Silks Fear Came True in... →
Well, my friends, today it happened. Before I had ever taken my first aerial silks class, I had three main fears: 1) Death by falling, 2) Showing up to class hungover and throwing up on the teacher while mid-inversion, and 3) Uncontrollable flatulence while being spotted mid-air. Fear Number 3, I greet you kindly, sir. For the first time in a few weeks, I tried climbing upright into a hip...
