So, it has recently been brought to my attention by a couple people on seperate parts of the globe that each has run into people, most notably HoP members, who have called me a liar.

It seems that because I do not appear on the COL videos, or feel the need to tout my skills and prove myself to everyone, that people seem to not believe I do the stunts I say I do (not only with fire, but also with the other sideshow arts), and furthermore they feel the need to express these doubts to my friends. Despite the continental spacings, the internet has made it a small world and things do get around.

While I am very flattered that people seem to think that what I do in my life is somehow important to them, I am a bit put off that this has to come to me second hand, and that no one has been wo/man enough to come to me with this directly, since I am only a PM away.

In the end I write this because I am a member of the HoP team, and the credibility of HoP is important to me.

I assure you, I do not lie. If I am wrong I admit it. In rl I am not nearly the b!tch many people on here think I am. If I say I do or have done something, I have. I believe in living life to its fullest and so tend to have tried alot of things beyond the realm of most peoples normality. Many of these things I use in performance...especially those things associated with traditional american sideshow, of which I am a well respected member of that community as well.

If you *really* want proof you can find me in an upcoming episode of the television show "The Party Planner" on Discovery Channel, in the (currently in production) documentary "Ten-In-One" about the behind the scenes lives of sideshow performers (of which I am the only female performer to be featured), soon (after July) in another documentary about fire breathers, or in November in the book "Secrets of the Sideshow Arts" by Joe Nickell.

I also have a resume and referrences available.
Or you can attend my monthly shows in Rochester, NY at the Water Street Music Hall, join my mailing list for other future dates please feel free to drop by my classes/workshops.

In my world, you can call me alot of things and be right, but a "liar" isn't one of them. Just because you haven't seen it, doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

TA for your time.

Sounds to me like your adventures are so incredibly varied and exciting that some people are incredulous or just plain jealous.

I'm really looking forward to seeing you perform one day in person smile

Prove it.

Thanks for the support. I want to say that it doesn't bother me personally. I don't give a crap what people think of me really. I'm me and I'm pretty comfortable with that but I am also aware of associations that people make, and wanted to address this because of HoP. I don't want these same people to think less of HoP because they have formulated an unfounded opinion of me.

I was also PM'd (thank you wink ) and asked why I mention things like that I am the only woman on the documentary or (in the past) that I had pushed for the safety video (which isn't the truth of what I said) because it made me seem that I like to toot my own horn.
I wanted to address that here as well.

I didn't push for the safety video. I mentioned it and Malcolm and I talked about it to make it happen. I said that in the thread to head people off at the pass who would think when we came out with it that we somehow stole their idea.
AND
Being the only woman on that aforementioned video *is* a HUGE thing. In the American Sideshow, when I started, I was looking for a teacher and was informed that women made better assistants. Hell, when I started on HoP forever ago men outnumbered the women and there were a few who were really down on fem fire peeps and how we handled ourselves differently. I became really good friends with a guy in Aus *because* he stood up for the women. We like to think that everything is fine on the equality front, and let me tell you it really isn't here in America. So it really is a big deal to me.

See...I am not really even *that* egotistical. wink

Anyway, thanks for hearing me out all. I do appreciate it, and the PMs and emails I have been receiving.

Ado, I thought so to for awhile but I have met those who work at HoP central and Flash Fire so I know they are real. I even have photos to prove it. As for the others, well...Malcolm can be kooky, so your theory does hold water. I mean, have you ever noticed that Charles and Malcolm aren't on at the same time? wink

I will still marry you in a heartbeat! I think I know a few young studs who would be insanely jealous though!

Perhaps if you would stay in one place awhile I would be able to catch you! Silly angel!

Much love always! I miss you sooooo much!

I bet if any of the members spreading rumours about you were to look in your gallery or go to your website and look at the photos there and all that jazz, they would realize that all of those are fake too. you just found some other woman who does all of the things you SAY you do, then you take photos of her doing them, and then pretend those photos are you. I bet she is in on the game, too. I bet if I were to find that woman in those photos and I asked her, she would even SAY that she was you...

Pele rocks my world. I'm officially a fan.

I have met her, listened to her snoring and enjoyed her company immensely, and I can vouch for her. She's wonderful, compassionate, true to herself and above all, absolutely sincere and straight down the line in everything she does. She is also the most talented person I have had the pleasure of meeting.

I'll write a character reference for her any day.

I think, that this whole ''Prove it! Prove it! prove it!'' -thing with people comes from their lack of self-confidence. They can't handle it, that someone might be better than them, in some things. It's different than jealousy, because, IMO, jealous people just envy your skills, these people don't want you to possess _any_ skills. They wan't you to make a fool of yourself in everyone's eyes, so that they can prove to be better and greater than you.

I'm one of those ''Jack of all trades'', and I'm so tired to people, who comes to me asking me to prove myself to them. I tell them, that I don't need their belief to anything, so they can go to hell. I tell them, that I don't do things to compete with anyone, I do things only to amuse myself.

But of course it's more difficult, when something, like the credibility of HoP is involved. I think you did right, when you made it public, I don't see the people, who called you a liar, proving _their_ point here. And I don't know how it is in there, but here in Finland the prosecutor has the responsibility to prove his/hers accusations.

hug hug hug to all Jack-of-all-trades, keep up the good work. wink

Cass Angel, for two weeks recently I was in NZ to take in everything and film the safety video with Malcolm. Princess Flash came and we had a grand time. As a result I am now the Mistress in Charge (like a CEO) of her fan club, as I am totally smitten by her lovely, witty, intelligent, talented yumminess. AND she talks in her sleep, which is very entertaining as well! wink

Her name is Lynnie, and she happens to look and sound just like me. In fact, you are right, she would even say she is me if you catch her in the right mood. I just needed a photo double that day wink

Why people why? its all just jealousy! I hadn't heard these rumours before. It usually is all about lack of self confidence and arrogancy-(and quite often these 2 things describe the same person). Its great that you don't let yourself be affected by it- there is no reason why you should- good for you grouphug

Feel free to finish them off Chris! biggrin Or, you could let them sit on your table until the next time I visit. Although, I think it's quite a tradgedy when chocolate turns all white and powdery. *ponders* Maybe your dog would like them if you're not gonna eat them? What's his name again - is it Iggy, Eggie or Aggie - with your Kiwi accent, I couldn't tell :P
