In celebration of my camera finally being fixed, I must post pictures of my favorite lovebirds: Aria and Annica!




*sigh* It's sad when your dolls get more cuddles than you do!

Aw! I can just picture them having a dinner date. :)

AAwwww!


Is your name after Cirque du Soleil?

Aaww aren't they sweet?

Adorable!

Yes and no.....I discovered the word from that. I use it for it's meaning: "an unknown, one who cannot be named". It seems fairly fitting for the online world.

Oh- that's funny! I wonder if it is in "Cirquish"? Cirque du Soleil has a made-up language that is actually nonsense made from lots of different languages, but when they sing it it sounds like a foreign language that you just can't quite place.

Quidam was just in the SF Bay area and I missed it! Was not paying attention and I refuse to sit any farther back than the first or second row of regular seats (first two rows are VIP seats- can't afford those). But I've seen Varekai, Allegria (still my favorite), Corteo, Kooza, and "O" (Las Vegas- the water show). I was really sad to miss Quidam- great show!

My daughter trained as a contortionist for two years with a Mongolian Contortionist who knows most of the contortionists in "O" and was offered a job with them. My daughter trained at SF Circus Center, and the three girls who are in Kooza also trained there (with a different trainer, though). She also competed on a rhythmic gymnastics team with one of the girls and against another one of them. She performed with a professional circus a few times but is now "retired" from show biz at the old age of 23.

That is so awesome about your daughter! I assume that contortionism isn't something you can keep up into "old age". I've always wanted to do stuff like that, but even as a kid I couldn't touch my toes!

I still haven't seen any in person. My brother wanted to buy me tickets a couple of years back until he saw the price! For now I'm satisfied watching them on DVD. Perhaps it's for the best: at least on DVD I have no worries about there being an accident!
