I mentioned earlier that shooting at @InessCircus a couple times before the @InterstellartCircusArts show came in handy. Perfect example of that right here, because good timing can equal *art.*

Sometimes you get an act while shooting a #Burlesque show where you wish you could have another crack at it, and that’s @Babia_Majora’s Howl for me. Not because of anything negative, it’s just so fascinating I’d love to photograph it again!

From @inesscircus’ #BendySnow show last Friday, @Bettylaura.aerialist with some Holiday Hoopwork.

Also I get the gift of getting to say “Holiday Hoopwork.” 😂

A living work of art, @theladycorbeau makes #Burlesque photography *so* easy! No matter the angle, the stage loves her!

Round two from @InterstellarCircusArts at #HalCon2025 … from the silks portion of the show, and admittedly me humble bragging a bit. 😂

When you see me volunteering at #HalCon2026, it’s because I want to do more of *this.*

So we’re all agreed that Mistress Mae is why #SpaceBallsTheSequel happened, right? I intend this to be what I tell my kids.
