ᴡᴇ ᴀʀᴇɴ'ᴛ ᴀ ᴊᴏᴋᴇ ✨

Like many other women on the internet, I’m also annoyed by Shane Gillis and his garbage SNL skit. The trope of trying to belittle women is sure getting old 🙄. I’m here to remind you that women can and SHOULD wear whatever they want because apparently that’s a “hot take” ✨.

What someone wears does not impact how I treat them or the respect I give them. Let’s DO BETTER.

As an aerialist, I am so thankful to have an inclusive, safe, encouraging space to train in at @nightflightaerial with instructors like @circusdanny who support me in whatever I wear 🖤. This kind of garbage wouldn’t stand there and it shouldn’t stand anywhere else.

So to all of the humans out there doing badass things, I applaud you. Wear the outfit, crush your goals.

ᴛᴀʟᴋɪɴɢ ᴛᴏ ᴍʏ ʙᴏᴅʏ ʟɪᴋᴇ 🤪

A couple of weeks ago, I lost my split pole invert in silks without notice or reason and I was not okay with this development. So I kept coming back to class at @nightflightaerial determined to get it back. Last week in class with @circusdanny it finally showed up again 🙌. I was tired, but I came to fight. And yes, I was absolutely telling my muscles to cooperate in this video 😂.

Sometimes as aerialists, we regress in certain skills from week to week. It can be frustrating, confusing, and discouraging, but don’t give up the fight. Sometimes it just takes another week to get back to them again. Keep going this week, y’all 🖤

ᴡᴇ ᴀʟʟ ᴍᴀᴋᴇ ᴍɪsᴛᴀᴋᴇs 🤣

Thankfully I have @circusdanny to coach me through them 🙏. In all seriousness, a great coach is worth their weight in gold as an aerialist, and Danny is more than that. When I came to @nightflightaerial 9 months ago and took a drop in silks class from him, I knew I’d found the right home and coach to grow with.

Cheers to the mistakes we make and the people that help us fix them and grow 🖤

Also- 15 feet is an estimate here. I didn’t have time to grab my tape measure 🤣

THE PONY BOYS 💝🦄 @thesircupcake @syzpro @circusdanny

The Pony Boys performing a live rendition of Pink Pony Club at Fright Night 2025 was honestly one of those moments. 💖🐴

Camp. Chaos. Horse masks. Glory 🕳️, Live vocals. So extremely gay. So extremely Fright Night.

They absolutely brought the house down.

And Fright Night 2026 is coming for you next. Expect all the ridiculousness, spectacle, aerial, horror, and queer joy you love, now with a Phantom of the Opera twist.

Just as fun. Just as gay. Possibly even more 🤩🤩🤩🤩. 🕯️💋🎭
