One of my favorite pictures that I ever took. I think this was Pennsic of 2012. (I know there’s Roman numerals, do you think I have any better luck keeping them straight just because they’re spelled with letters? Spoiler: I do not.) This woman’s name was Pixie and I also took pictures at her wedding later in the week. She also showed up to Fizzball dressed as a mermaid being towed on a cart by her husband– wearing a tail that I think was made of lamé, and completely forgoing the shell bra pretense and just being topless, and it was possibly the best costume ever.
She was a very talented dancer, and he was the best firebreather I’ve ever seen. They probably still are, wherever they are. He was a full-time performer type, and had quit a paying gig at a sideshow kind of deal because it was abusive, and had showed up at Pennsic to marry her, and I wandered into the conversation while she was in tears of joy that this was really going to get to happen; I guess both being performers/traveling kinds of people, they often wound up on different gigs in the summer and didn’t get to see one another all that often.
I have no idea who I knew who knew her, but I took some nice pictures and sent them to someone who said they knew her, so I hope she got them.
It’s confusing, though, because incredibly enough, I know more than one woman named Pixie, so. If you know me in RL, this is not the local Pixie.
