Aerial Silk

Jewella Deville

Fall is finally here in SoCal.   It's cold now, but just a month ago it was still summer.   October found me at the Roller Derby with my girl, and teammates watching a really good 'Screamage'.  Here are some photos of the event...

 Derby is a very fun and exciting sport.  Challenging and exhausting to learn.  This scrimmage I sat out and played photographer.

Come the spring though I plan on joining my fellow teammates out there on the track.    This is why I have taken up Aerial Silk acrobatics to build strength.  So much fun too!  Here I am sliding down the ribbons gracefully.



This is harder than it looks.  I of course am a natural at it.  I know I make it look easy...



and practicing in a  very large pointe shoe...

         
I think this must be the worlds largest pair of pointe shioes, they had them on display... so I posed for a picture.

















I know.  It's no derby skating.   But it's been a whole lot of fun!

I went to the ballet and.....

made a new friend.

No not him, that's Lil E

The ballet was wonderful.  Many lovely girls all doing what they love.  That is what I enjoy most.  People really living and loving life!   I just love to watch people doing what they love.
These girls make dancing look like so much fun!

So we took a few turns ourselves....

 While at the ballet Lil E and I were posing for some pictures, you know the paparazzi follow me everywhere, and then we met him.  His name is Gustav. 




 Gustav loves beer apparently.  He has a blog too (just click on that link).    He, Lil E and Lil Gee got to talking and found that they had that in commom.  Lil E loves beer (good beer only) and Lil Gee loves to have a good time!  I think Gustave might be a good beer snob buddy for Lil E.  Especially since I hate beer, never touch the stuff!

 Anyway, just thought I'd introduce you.  I'll let you know how this friendship pans out...   Maybe we'll have some good times together...

Take a bow Lil Gee

He can't keep his hands off me!

 BTW, today we celebrated my sweet Jewel's 9th birthday!  Here we are posing for a picture at the Ballet.

She's the sweetest thing!

Until next time....    So long, farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, goodnight.....
