ElastiGirls

I don't think many of you know this. We've sort of kept in on the down low in this family to protect the privacy of my sisters but I've decided to let it out. When the screenplay was written for The Incredibles my two sisters, Kyrie and Chalice, were the inspiration for Elasti Girl. It's true. The director of the film met them many years ago and as they interacted Kyrie and Chalice started throwing kicks and dancing around like they normally do, and this character shot into his mind. He came up with Elasti Girl. So basically I have the two real life elasti girls as my sisters and it's humbling to say the least. A couple days ago when we were hanging out in the kitchen eating chips and avocado they were being their flexible selves, throwing their leg up to the top of the fridge and resting it there or against the doorway compleatly vertical from floor to cealing. I asked Chalice to teach me since she's a dancer and knows how to teach. So I started stretching and then gave it a try... slow and steady. I went slow but not very steady... check out the pictures to see how far I got. Maybe one day I'll be an elastigirl like Kyrie and Chalice... for now though, their entertainment is quite enough.

and now it's my turn

and that's as flexible as she gets...
