Nikki Jeffries, Zippo's, 1996.
Nikki is an aerial performer who also does club swinging and bungee jumping, but is a relative newcomer having only been with the circus for the last three years. She says that her most embarrassing moment while performing in front of a live audience, was during a bend, when the sequins of the bodice of her leotard caught her tights, joining her by her chest to her knee and preventing her from straightening up. When she finally wrestled her costume apart she says she received the best applause she'd had throughout her act.
