Kate Sylvester’s naughty little
sister has run away with a
knife thrower and become a
wanderer with his travelling
circus. She’s the star of The
Wheel of Death and the target
girl for his knife throwing act.
Risking the wheel is no easy
feat, but dressed in the cutest
of costumes this little star
wins the hearts of her
audience and the heart of the
knife thrower himself.
Her wardrobe is a magpie’s
nest of show pieces and
slouchy stuff for the road. On
stage she’s enticing in cute
frilled leotards, gold spot
capes, harlequin tutu dresses
and ringmaster’s tuxedo
jackets. Thrown over her fish
nets and topped with a little
bowler hat, this girl’s
charming yet cheeky persona
always shines through.
After the carnival when the
tents are pulled down, you’ll
find her relaxing in her
caravan and hanging out with
a band of drifters. The
showgirl is nowhere to be
seen as she fades into her
rustic and dreamy
surroundings. You’ll find her in
soft stripey t-shirt dresses,
faded marl sweaters and the
cutest chambray pants and
ribbed cotton tops.
Walking through the fields
hand in hand, Sylvester
seems to have found her
place with her knife thrower,
and it looks like she will be a
wandering performer forever.
Or until the breeze blows her
someplace else! |
