And here is the proof:

NO comments about the hair or the dress. I was a head banger, damn it. This was in 90/91 anyway. So pfffffffffft....

Oh, you all know how I love this (Yeah and thanks for tagging me.. I can't even run fast).

From My Favorite Lesbian Homeschooler

Six weird things about me. I've got way more than six, so this is my opportunity to brag:

1. One weird thing is that I grew up around the Circus. Both my grandparents (who art in Heaven now), worked for and trained with Ringling Brother's Barnum and Bailey Circus. I inherited my grandmother's clown collection which includes, among other things, a 6 figure Emmett Kelly Painting Collection (that's 6 figures each painting), a Calliope Magazine collection that dates back to the 60's (this was the only clown magazine around. Very extension and quite informative); and part of both grandparent's ashes are in Clown shaped liquor decanters.

2. Because of number 1, at 3.5 years old, I participated in someone's wedding--the smallest man in the world (at the time) Mishu---DURING a circus performance. *I* was the tallest one there and I was the flower girl.

3. Speaking of the circus, I grew up with Mark-Gebel Williams, Gunther's son. I would go play in the tiger cage with him all the time.

4. I've met thousands of celebrity's due to living in Vegas and my grandmother's connections with the circus. For example:

A. I've also had the priviledge of being a flower girl at Randy "Macho Man" Savage's wedding to Miss Elizabeth (not the one on tv, a private ceremony) AND had him, her and Hulk Hogan at my 10th birthday party.

B. I was babysat once, by Wayne Newton. My mother was an OB nurse in a Vegas hospital and she was delivering his first wife's child, he sat in the Father's room playing with me.

C. I've met Sha Na Na and got to Bow-wow with Bowser on stage. I was 5 at the time.

D. I met Red Fox and got to ride in his "Red Sled".

E. I "taught" Charo how to cootchie-cootchie. My dad knew her and at 4, I told her she was doing it all wrong, and showed her how to do it.

F. I "played" Golf (during a Celebrity Golf tourney my grandmother was hired to clown for) with Animal from Hill Street Blues.

G. I got a piggy back ride from Greg Morris (The black guy from the old Mission Impossible)

H. I've got pictures of me kissing Kip Winger (from the 80's hair band, Winger). Granted I was in high school at the time, but my mom dared me to kiss him for HER, so I asked him and he obliged, while my friend took the picture. It was only a kiss on the cheek, but yeah, I was in heaven.

I. I've met nearly every wrestling known in the business from the 80's until now. I was such a fan, that I, at one time, took off a sock I was wearing and swiped Barry Windham's bloody forhead with it. I actually kept that sock until about 7 years ago.

J. This last one I am most proud of above all else. My grandfather was an olympic swimmer and stunt double. He used to stunt for Johnny Weismiller on the Tarzan shows. There is only one episode where you can see him clearly--it is an early episode where Weismiller is jumping off a cliff--diving into the water--that's my grandfather. I believe this scene is in the opening credits of the show now. Just as well, I've got pictures of my grandmother dancing with Max Baer (Jed Clampett's son) when both were in the military.

I had to edit because I did forget the MOST WEIRD thing about me. It truly is very weird and I'm extremely proud of that weirdness.

~~~~~I grew up watching a Saturday Morning tv show called "Creature Feature". Dr. Paul Bearer was your host. "Uncle" Pauli was also a family friend :). And yes, he did look like that in real life.

I think this now thorougly explains my weirdness. I am a complete and total freak and I love it. :)~~

You asked for it and you got it. That's about all I can think of..at least without sounding too braggish..
