My weirdest moments so far

Few years ago I joined an adult ballet group called Wannabe Ballerinas and ever since (and bit before also) I have found myself in weird situations and roles ever since. Here are some of the highlights:

4. Bunny in the Ballet show

My ankle was bent twice during the past 6 months and I couldn't really dance, so I performed as a sidekick bunny in the show From Helsinki With Love. Funny stuff: From the spooky mask one couldn't see much so walking around in stage lights was very difficult and some bunnies hit each other every now and then.

3. Astronaut in the ballet show

After bending the ankle for the first time I wasn't able to dance at the Wannabe Ballerinas X-Mas Special. Instead I had this fantastic sidekick role as a rapper-astronaut. Funny stuff: The outfit was made of some kind of plastic material that didn't breath at all. We called the outfits sweaty-bags.

2. Black person at Jaffa commercial

I was a black person carrying ballerinas in a live commercial that took place in movie theatre. Funny stuff: we were wearing black stocking in our heads so our faces were covered and we wouldn't be seen.

1. Discovery of the Week – My ass!

Has nothing to do with ballerinas, but definitely the weirdest! While working at a newspaper there was a section called Discovery of the Week in which some new innovation was tested. I was modeling for the section when someone found underpants with filling. The idea was basically to have a bottom like J.Lo or something. I felt like I had a diaper in my pants, though sitting was very comfortable. And the picture of my ass was in the national newspaper with title "Discovery of the Week. Unfortunately no photo available.
