You may recall that in my last post I was slightly shitting myself as I was about to perform samba in my passista costume for the very first time. Well, I did it and here are the photos to prove it.
Gratuitous butt shot
I was very nervous when I stepped out of the change room for the first time but, like with all things that push me out of my comfort zone, I took a deep breath and faked it. I strutted about like I was meant to be wearing that outfit (because I was) and like I deserved to be on that stage (because I did). Then the wind nearly blew off my headdress so I was far too preoccupied with keeping it on my head while doing all the steps that I didn’t have time to be self-conscious.
Achievement unlocked: Appearing half-naked on stage in front of a crowd of people. What else ya got?
Very, very impressed right now!<3 Congratulations! And I just love those pics of you onstage!
You are one hundred percent FABULOUS!!! You look like you’re having a fabulous time.. let me know when the tour hits Melbourne!
Everything about this makes me ridiculously happy
You are awesome, congratulations!
Awesome! That is a fantastic achievement.
And you look fantastic!
Fantastic! You look wonderful.
The gratuitous butt-shot is my favourite. xoxo
Pervert <3
It’s my favourite too.
Wow! You look UTTERLY phenomenal. Totally rocking it – and wish there was video of you dancing. Love your confidence. Good for you!
So happy for you!
Love the costume!
nice gams!
You look hot as f**k. Well done babe, gives me hope for my less than skinny butt.
You look beautiful, absolutely beautiful!!
Fierce!
Courage isn’t not being afraid; courage is being afraid and doing it anyway. Thank you for your incredible courage!!!
Good for you!
you are the hotness.
AWESUM!!!!
Woah, you really did it! Be proud because I think many girls would have chickened out! Did you get many reactions from people who saw you?
Nothing vocal. People stared and took surreptitious photos but that could have been solely due to the fact that I was dressed like a giant sparkly bird.
Wow! I am equally impressed that you can dance in those heels!
Literally the only time I wear high heels is for samba. As a result, I don’t know how to walk in heels but I do know how to dance in them!
Yeah, like Tori above I’m *totally* impressed with dancing in heels – eeek!
I LOVE these photos and I hope we get to see you swanning about in your daily life every now and then in such a get up: surely you could get away with wearing the headdress to work, yes?! So many sparkles!
On ya, love, YOU ARE FABULOUS! xo
Amazing!!! Next time there must be video!!
Oh Frances you are my beautiful, sparkly, heroine. xoxo
Sweetheart <3
