She said: “People are always amazed and shocked and
disgusted about what I do. Its really funny to see their
reactions especially when I just do things randomly in public
like bending. Its funny to see how they react to it. I never
had to train to become really flexible I was just always
really bendy. I really like smoking, drinking and eating fatty
foods.

People are always amazed and shocked and disgusted
about what I do
I invent new tricks by taking inspiration from everyday
occurrences. For instance, I was brushing my teeth with my
hands and I thought why not try it with my feet. I try to do
everything with my feet or upside down as much as
possible. Being 29-years-old I have not felt any
repercussions yet. I have no injuries, I have never once been
injured in my life and I don’t feel any signs of slowing
down.”
