This past weekend I took part in a women’s stand up writing retreat. I can honestly say it was life changing for me. 💗

This past year I decided to conquer my crippling stage fright and social anxiety. Fast forward to now. I can’t even believe the person I am now compared to the person I was before. 🌻

I performed two stand up sets at Idiot Box Comedy Club. Both shows went well, but my second show especially felt like a personal milestone. I had fun, interacted with the audience, and felt SO alive and present! I felt like I was doing what I’m meant to be doing: being a silly billy and laughing with other souls! 💖

This weekend I made new friends - each of whom inspired me. At the beginning of the weekend I was afraid to share my ideas. By the end of my time there, I felt a newfound confidence and just-go-for-it-and-have-fun ideology. 🌈

We stayed together in a beautiful historical home, did many writing exercises, shared jokes, workshopped bits, practiced ranting, played music bingo at a bar after our first show, and we even did an open mic right after our second show! 🎤

One of the biggest lessons I have learned this year: I can conquer my fears. Yeah, it may be absolutely terrifying, but wow oh wow. When you finally immerse yourself in it, and make it to the other side, and not only survive it, but find yourself feeling… even more alive?! I’m discovering that on the other side of fear is freedom… and the life of my dreams. 🥹

Shout out to Jennie for organizing this amazing opportunity! She’s putting on the next ladies stand up writing retreat in November. I *highly* recommend! ✨

I may post some snippets from my sets… we shall see! 😉

Much love,
Kira 💖

Me touring a perfectly normal Airbnb and immediately developing a ghost/murder emergency plan because apparently that’s just how my brain works. 😅

Created this while attending a ladies stand up writing retreat with Idiot Box Comedy Club! Thanks for almost being my roommate milly! 😉

6AM road trip to Greensboro, NC for a ladies stand-up writing retreat!? We’ll be performing sets over the weekend at Idiot Box Comedy Club!! Life is such an adventure…! 🚗🌈

For me, being a multidisciplinary artist means turning one piece of art into a world. 🌈

“Slap Happy” began as an artwork above my fireplace to symbolize the play, curiosity and adventure of our new home. Since then, it has turned into clothing, walked the runway of my fashion show, became so many things (a puzzle, rug, pillow, laundry basket & more) and as of this week, it’s now on my nails (shout out to Accepting New Clients!) 💫

There’s something about this art transmutation process that tickles my soul. ✨

Wearable art looks are available in my online shop - and custom home decor available upon request. Send me a dm to coordinate. 💌

We’ve returned from our mime school in Paris (and Amsterdam!) adventure!! So grateful to whimsically journey through life with my soul partner Robert! 🌈

Some highlights of the trip:
✨ My daily ritual of an almond croissant and cappuccino before class ☕️
✨ Our cute Airbnb was only a 4 minute walk to mime class!
✨ The class was taught in French by our mime teacher who has been miming for 50 years. He studied under and worked with Marcel Marceau. The French was immediately translated by the 2nd teacher into English. The class had 10 students - half French speaking and half international. Classmates from Hong Kong, Russia, Taiwan, the UK and all over France of course! Every one had unique creative backgrounds and reasons for taking the class (dancers, actors, musicians, improvisors, etc!) I loved our conversations about our differing cultures. Inspiring and enriching.
✨ Robert was so good at miming! Bae bae is full of hidden talents and surprises! Every class day concluded with us doing improvised performances for one another. We got to do a couple of them together which was lovely. 💗
✨ Mime class was oddly poetic. Many lessons felt metaphorical for life in general. I learned (again) that I am my harshest critic, and I learned (again, ha) that when I allow myself to play and not take myself too seriously, that is when I feel most alive and am able to get into the flow. Laughing at myself when I make a mistake or when something hasn’t quite clicked yet feels good. I learned so much and am excited to practice the fundamentals and experiment with implementing mime technique & perspective into my various creative endeavors… 🎭
✨ I love Monmarte in Paris. Such an artsy & beautiful area.
✨ Ate lots of cheese and drank lots of wine, naturally. 🍷🧀 One of my favorite cheeses was a delicious truffle cheese… also loved the sheep’s milk cheese and finally had a blue cheese that I actually really quite enjoyed!
✨ Saw the band Tetes Raides at a concert! Accordion, violin, saxophones and tuba?! Yay for whimsical French music!
✨ Ate the most perfect almond tarte while on the train from Amsterdam to Paris.
…….
(The rest of my post continues in the comments!)

I went to mime school in Paris! Here are a few clips from class. The week flew on by…

The art of muscular comedy. Simplify and amplify. I’m inspired by the philosophies shared in class and excited to practice what I learned! ✨

So last week I went on an adventure to NYC where I took an improv & sketch writing intensive at the legendary ! Wow oh wow I learned a lot and filled up my inspiration pot! 🥰🌈

Both and joined me for the journey! Yay! Highlights include:

✨ Wowww I learned a lot in 5 days - coming home with sketch scripts, manyyy ideas, and lots of personal discoveries & creative growth 🌻
✨ Heart is full with new friendships 💗
✨ Saw 4 Broadway shows including: Oh, Mary! (with Maya Rudolph as the lead?! Deeply inspired by her performance!), 15th year anniversary show of Book of Mormon (with original cast + South Park creators?!), Stranger Things (most epic live stage effects I’ve ever seen), and Hadestown (very inspiring musical moments with accordion and violin) 🎭
✨ Saw various sketch, improv and stand up shows (including the UCB festival!) I’m finding myself currently very drawn towards clown/mime/musical/absurdist/physical/surreal/quirky-character-driven comedy! 🤡
✨ Food food food yum yum yummy 🤤
✨ Barely time to sleep. We had writing homework every night. Living off sleep deprivation adrenaline fumes… worth it. ✍️
✨ Mental health: Dealt with moments of anxiety / depression / self-doubt, but have been learning healthy ways to express, process and allow myself to feel my feelings. Also, it’s pretty magical how cathartic and healing improv is for processing through stuck-states. Improv has been helping me in life more than I ever could have imagined... 💕
✨ I’m ready to take some creative steps forward… with developing shows, sketches, music, and following wherever my curiosity leads me… stay tuned 💫

Shout out to the incredible for letting us crash at their place in Brooklyn! So grateful. 🌃

The adventure continues in one week to follow a lifelong dream: studying mime in Paris!?! 🇫🇷

With whimsy, magic & smiles,
Kira 💛

Some work days look like this: watching Hacks while sorting through 100 new mesh art shirts I designed and then having to pause everything to tap dance to David Byrne & St. Vincent’s “Love This Giant” on vinyl as homemade lentil soup fills the air and my dog joins me for a dance! Comedy. Art. Business. Dance. Shenanigans! Yesssss. 🥰

So fun seeing many artworks of mine that have never been placed on clothing before. Swipe through to see a few of them! ✨

This batch will soon be available in Greenville, SC and Savannah, GA at and ! 🛍️

Been blending my days with comedy, lotssss of writing, music & beat making, art & fashion design, adventure trip-booking (NYC, Paris and San Diego 👀), pinball competitions (just got 3rd place last night at a ladies tournament!), skit filming, daydreaming, dream-planning, and business! 🌈

…Now time for me to drop off this wholesale order then head over to my Improv 301 class! 🎭

Jeez Louise I’m enjoying life SO much lately! So, I may have deep dived into comedy… and I may, in fact, have actively for the past few months been doing stand-up, improv, and producing sketches…!! I am utterly, deeply and passionately in love with comedy. I am enjoying the final days of my 20s. I cannot believe how excited I am about everything right now. 🥹🌈

Here’s a picture of me performing recently at The Comedy Zone in Greenville, SC. Next week I’m turning 30 (!!), taking a tap dance class as well as musical improv class, competing in a stand up competition (!?), and performing in my improv 201 showcase…. life feels like a dreamy, magical, hilarious, exciting adventure. YAY is an understatement… will share more soon… 😉✨

With love, magic & smiles,
Kira 💗
