Curvaceous Contortionist

I saw Varekai, my first Cirque du Soleil show, on Saturday. While the acrobatics and death-defying acts were spectacular, nothing mesmerized me like the curvaceous contortionist. Oh my. She was far from the 50 lb. 10 year-old looking girl I was expecting. It felt like the scene in From Dusk Till Dawn when Salma Hayek's character conducted her entrancing dance.
