noel vallens: just a swingin’

so, before we move on to things like clothes and outfits…i have some photos from this past weekend’s trapeze lesson, which was AMAZING.  it was so terrifying at first, but SO MUCH FUN.  i want to go back and do it again immediately. 

we started out with a simple little knee hang…easy, right?  then we added a back flip dismount.  still hanging in there.  on our 3rd time, we added a catch. which means i’m responsible for not ripping this guys shoulders out of socket because my knees refuse to uncling themselves midair from the bar.  AND it means jumping when they tell you to, otherwise the timing is off and bad things happen. 

this is a little video of my first catch…

i was just happy i made it without causing anyone any injuries.  my friend, annie, was by far the most graceful one up there out of all of us.  this was her second time and she was doing splits into her catch!

overall, i thought everything was amazing, even if terrifying, and if you’re in NYC I’d highly recommend trying it out over at the trapeze school new york

ok, now on to boring, static things like clothes.  my uniform lately has been pairing this chambray shirt with everything, and throwing this came coat over it. and  my latest little vintage find was this old, beatup gucci purse.  so adorable!
