"Kathleen Marcan- Not as bad as it looks #1"

Anonymous said...: This was taken on opening day in 1991, and was Kathleen's first show.

She was supposed to be doing a shoulder stand with Simba, a female liger, who was very good natured. Kathleen and Simba had been doing it all winter in practice.

But when it was show time, Simba heard "her music" and ran over-enthusiastically to Kathleen to do "her trick". Kathleen quite simply could not hold her, and was knocked to the ground. It actually happened twice, and the trick was discontinued.; 08 November, 2006 07:18
