Helsinki

Two years ago, in the middle of February I went with some friends to Helsinki for about 5 days. We wanted to see Finland in winter, with lots of snow, the sea frozen, etc. It was very beautiful but cold. Temperatures were usually between -5 to -10, specially during night.

I think I don´t have to mention that I went in complete bare feet, I didn´t take any shoes with me, as I do not have any. My friends told me if I was sure, I said: sure! But also I don´t have any coat or any winter clothes, so I went there with my usual stuff, shorts, mini skirts, small tops and mini dresses.

Some people walk barefoot in well below freezing temperatures but they usually have many other clothes on. Since I do not wear much clothes that makes my feet and my body most vulnerable to cold, but I can endure it with no problem.

Most of the time we were not outside for long time, as my friends, in spite of wearing lots of clothes they had cold. Visiting places also you get inside buildings and other places which are hot. But sightseeing we were outside and I was usually wearing shorts with no panties and sleeveless tops everyday. And of course barefoot.

The people looked at me a lot and asked me why I was wearing like this and why I didn´t have any shoes on. It was great walking in the snow barefoot, and feeling the cold and the grit they put to avoid the street to be very slippery.

During night I wore a mini-dress, mini skirt and very open top with all my back at the cold air and barefoot. One of my friends, the other girl also during night used to wear like me, almost nothing, but she was wearing shoes, although open high heels. The boys were completely wrapped up. One night it was -12 and my friend also took her shoes off while going back to the hostel.

One day we went to a fortress in some islands 15 mins from Helsinki in a small ferry boat. That day we spent the whole morning and part of the afternoon outside walking, and on top of that it was a bit windy and since this wasn´t the city center it was more open to the freezing air. But I was there with small sports shorts and a tiny top with just two strings on my shoulders, with my bare arms, bare shoulders and bare top of my chest to the freezing cold. And of course my bare legs and my bare feet. It was great to feel the cold and the air in my body. My skin later became very red and my small toes became first very pink and then purple. My friends offer me clothes to put on but I said no, I was OK. At the end of that day I found a bit difficult to move my fingers from my hand, but apart from that I was OK. That night after dinner, another mini-dress and out again :-)

One day we went to a sauna where you could swim on a ice-hole, as I am used to it that was no problem, I spent lots of time in the ice hole, the people were asking me how I could stay that long in the ice. Also when I finished instead of going to the sauna and have a hot shower I waited outside with my wet swimsuit and I dried myself with the cold air. Then back to the hostel again in shorts, a mini top and barefooted.

Overall it wasn´t that cold for me, and we enjoyed very much. Next winter may be we´ll go back to Finland but this time to the north, Rovaniemi, to see the reindeers, the northern lights, the Arctic polar circle and I intend to go again with small clothes and barefoot. No problem for me :-)

Glass

In my acts I play with glass very often. I walk bare feet on lots of broken glass. The glass has to be broken on the moment, don´t get fooled for those shows in which they bring the glass prepared already broken, or they just break one bottle in front of the audience. In real shows like mine, we break all the glass on the moment so is very sharp and this can cause real damage. I walk on it and I jump very high continuously smashing the glass with my bare feet and breaking it into smaller pieces. I also go on top of a platform which is 2 meters above ground and from there I jump to glass, breaking the glass into smaller pieces and feeling under feet how is broken and crushed. It´s great. The people love it and love being watched by the people. Another thing I is a put something like 4 or 5 one liter empty bottles on the floor, before they are broken, and I jump on them many times and smash them an break them with my bare feet.

I also lay down with my naked body on the broken glass (or wearing a tiny bikini, depending on the show) and someone goes on top of me. Another thing I do with glass is once I am laying down on the floor on the glass they pour fresh broken glass on top of me. The assistant in the show drops the glass on me from very high, as high as she can lift her arms, while I am on the floor. Thus making the thing very dangerous as the broken glass falls on my naked body with quite a bit of speed.

Another thing we do, is once I am covered with glass, and I have glass underneath me, the assistant, who also walks barefoot on glass, steps on me and walks on me breaking the glasses they are covering me against my body. I do this both downwards: she walks on my back, my ass and the top of my legs, and also when I am upwards: stepping on my chest, breasts, stomach and the top of my legs. I don't feel any pain nor get any injury.

I also like to eat glass, may be that´s my favourite food together with fire :-) I started eating light bulbs, so the glass is very thin but then I moved to usual glass bottles, even sometimes breaking the glass with my teeth. One day I ate a whole bottle of beer of 300 mls of glass. Do not ask how my body metabolises it, I just do it.

Also another thing I do is go up a ladder of sharps swords and lay down on a bed of sharp swords. As an extra a big block of concrete is put on my naked stomach and smashed while laying on the swords. Remember my training about this since I was a child so is no problem for me at all.

Most of these things are not quite special as there are out there a lot of performers doing these things They are quite common between side show performers. That´s why I want to push my self to the limits to be a special one, to be the best I can. My own physiology of my body, my strength, my determination, my training and my control of the pain help me to handle all this and much more amazing things I do. I´ve been advice to say in this blog: Do not try all this at home :-)
