Street Performing in Helsinki :: hoop dance & poi

PS. It was 2 Celsius/ 35 Fahrenheit that night. Typical Finnish spring.

PPS. We made maybe 15 euros.

PPPS. Next time I'll go in the day time. If I'll go. I'm kind of wanting to. It was so much fun. What can I say, I'm a Leo - I like to perform! And be a princess. I mean, the princess. Hee hee :P

Buddhist Barbie

In the 5th century B.C.

and Indian philosopher 

Gautama teaches "All is emptiness"

and "There is no self."

In the 20th century A.D.

Barbie agrees, but wonders how a man

with such a belly could pose,

smiling, and without a shirt.
