Vanya

Had a job wrestling alligators, and wrangling all sorts of other animals, on tour from Colorado to Niagara Falls.
Won a blue ribbon in horse show jumping.
Accepted a position as "kept woman" in Kansas City for about 2 days, when I got fed up and went home.
Traveled to 4 continents while making less than 15K a year throughout my adult life. When I ran out of money, I lost sleep, cuddling up to castle walls, or drifting from tea house to tea house.
Occasional work as a figure drawing model leaves me uncertain as to whether being naked in public is dream or remembrance.

Vanya, age 41
