Twilight Posted January 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Great weekend! On Friday I went to the drag show and introduced one of my partners to a bunch of people, including my drag dads. I'M UP NEXT OMG. Saturday I introduced my new person to my partners and kids, and it went really, really well. Sunday I took my younger kid shopping and it was lovely. Dance class this week is on Tuesday. I might be able to do Thursday, too! Really enjoying my new strategy of not killing myself over trying to fit everything into my schedule. 5 Quote Link to comment

Good! Much better to prioritise the most rewarding things and don't fret the small stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment
maegs Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 You’ve got so many great things happening, it’s fantastic! And it sounds like now that you’re focusing on your performances you’re making lots of progress in figuring them out 1 Quote Current Challenge Goodreads|Instagram|Ravelry Link to comment
Twilight Posted February 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 Hi all! I broke my glasses catastrophically last week, and spent a whole week without them. I couldn't work, I couldn't function; it was awful. I got my new pair yesterday and went right back to dance class! This was my first floor work class, and owwww. I had to stop because it was excruciatingly painful on my knees and ankles. I knew strippers were athletes, but holy crap you guys. Someone lent me a pair of knee pads and I was able to finish the class, which was great. I wasn't going to take another one of those classes, but having knee pads made it possible and enjoyable. I worked up a sweat and tried out some new moves. Rehearsals for the big show in May start on Sunday! 3 Quote Link to comment
Twilight Posted February 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 Making progress with my solo act. Casting is done for the group act. Thinking about what classes to take after my groupon expires. Had a big emotional time last night at the end of the night when I was winding down, thinking about how grateful I am for the queer and gender performance community. 4 Quote Link to comment
Mad Hatter Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 Knee pads are a must! And yeah the control that strippers have is amazing, even if the moves look simple it takes so much strength and control to execute them smoothly. I'm so happy that you found your way into a great community! 2 Quote Link to comment

Twilight Posted March 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Hi!! I had such a great time! It went so smoothly, and I only missed one of my queues, but no one noticed!! My next performance is in April! I've kind of fallen off NF ... sorry about that. Feel free to follow me on insta or twitter if you don't mind NSFW stuff.

Mad Hatter Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 Aww no performance videos? Congrats on a successful performance! And that you didn't get thrown off by a little hiccup. What kind of routine was it? And I really do hope we'll see you around. IG is just not the same. 1 Quote Link to comment

I don't know if I'm in the right place in my life for fitness challenges right now. I'm planning on signing up for more dance classes when this pass expires, but I don't feel the need to have the structured accountability framework that NF provides. The cheersquad is really great though. 1 hour ago, Mad Hatter said: Aww no performance videos? Congrats on a successful performance! And that you didn't get thrown off by a little hiccup.

I'll post em ... not here because of reasons. Thank you! I lip synced to Billy Idol's Rebel Yell and took some clothes off. It was so much fun! People were singing along! I'll check in from time to time, but checking the forums is pretty low on my priority list these days unfortunately. SO much going on, as always. 3 Quote Link to comment
RogueLibrarian Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 I hope you'll come back sometime! I'm glad we're friends elsewhere. You're awesome. 1 Quote "We can be heroes" Link to comment
Mad Hatter Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 Yeah I get that it's not a priority. It's more for selfish reasons haha. Because you're awesome and I like to see what awesome people are doing. Looking forward to the videos elsewhere though. 1 Quote Link to comment

Twilight Posted March 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 Hi folks! So last week was March Break and I went to the climbing gym with my kids for the first time. They'd been before, but it was my first time ever climbing, and it was so much fun! It was pretty easy to get to the top of the wall using any holds available to me, but it was absolutely terrifying to drop off and let the autoblay catch me. D: I climbed until my arms started to get sore (fyi they're still sore lol) and watched my kids climb some more. Fun times. Rehearsals are going really well for the group act. I'll be on stage again at the end of April! 4 Quote Link to comment
RogueLibrarian Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 HOORAY CLIMBING! It's so fun. I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's awesome that you've discovered performing in such a big way. It sounds like you're having a great time. 1 Quote "We can be heroes" Link to comment
Mad Hatter Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 Yaaay climbing, awesome that you liked it! Glad rehearsals are going well, what's your next act going to be? 1 Quote Link to comment
tei_ Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 I’ve used them a fair bit at this point and autobelays are still the most terrifying thing in the universe. I always “test” it by hopping off a few rocks up before doing the climb, and then hold on to the rope for dear life as I push off at the top Glad you got to go out climbing! Was it by any chance that newish place in the old movie theatre on bloor? Because that place looks so cool and I really need to check it out the next time I’m in Toronto! 1 Quote Current challenge: Tei gets the zoomies Previous challenges: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 Link to comment

I wish they'd just upgrade the seats and sound systems and still play movies in them though. It's cool when they get used for other things, but seeing a movie in an old theatre feels extra special. 1 Quote Link to comment
Twilight Posted April 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Next Friday I'm on stage again! Here's a shot from rehearsal last week: https://www.instagram.com/p/BhU5LYnHRBN/ I did ten squats yesterday and have DOMS. Oh how I've missed DOMS. 2 Quote Link to comment
