Natasha is a pure being of *delight*!!! I love her gorgeous and she is such a sassy flirt on stage. She *sees* deeply into all things and always brings everything around her into an high level of order and beauty. She has a huge heart and what a goddess! I am so grateful you are in my life. xoxo Christabel

about me
I am a neuroscience research assistant/lab manager by day and a hooper by night! I have grown much more comfortable in my skin as an adult, so although I still get nervous or shy in certain situations, it takes a lot to embarrass me anymore, mostly because I've already embarrassed myself (often voluntarily) in so many ways that silly things like tripping, falling, or generally making mistakes is no big deal.
I love to read and I have way too many books. I'm a pretty big dork. We're talking show choir in high school level dork here, too, so get ready to hear some show tunes. I love to touch, although I try to keep myself from rubbing people's clothes or playing with their silky hair at inappropriate times. I love to eat. Summer has always been my favorite season, partly because as a kid that meant no school, but also because most of my favorite fruits are summery - strawberries, grapes, blackberries, peaches, mmmmm!

When I know that I have a month to prepare for a performance, I think woo hoo, plenty of time! And then life happens and suddenly the performance date is upon me. Tonight was no exception. On September 3rd, Christabel mentioned that we had the opportunity to perform at Tease-O-Rama, which features the best burlesque performers in the country. Although neither Satise nor I had ever done burlesque, it sounded like fun! Christabel suggested that we partner hoop together, since she had just ...

(1) Cry unabashedly. Anyone who knows me will realize this isn't so much a promise or a plan as an admission that I know I will do it because I'm a big crybaby under the best of circumstances. (2) Sing the national anthem while it is being played during the medal ceremony. After watching sixteen days of medal ceremonies, I have realized how annoying it is to watch people stand up there on the podium and randomly move their lips once every fifteen... read more 
Ruby Skye - it has loomed before me as a shimmering golden ring, illuminated with sparkling lights, glittery fairy dust, and choirs of angels singing. It was something I never thought I would achieve because it required such a high level of skill, both as a hooper and as a performer. I am practical, if nothing else, and I know my strengths and weaknesses, so performing there seemed like a pipe dream. A few months ago, we were asked to perform at SF Weekly's Best of San Francisco party whic...

This is a song that I sang back in my choir nerd days, but it means even more to be now as an adult!
