Viktoria Grimmy, a Fifth Generation Contortionist for Zen Arts, does Interview Up-side Down
Viktoria Grimmy was such a delight to interview with her positive energy and uplifting smile. LA HOT Magazine found her backstage contorting herself in such a way that would make yoga masters gawk and the LA HOT Magazine film crew insisted Viktoria do the interview upside down so as not to interrupt her warm up for supperclub Los Angeles’s Limelight Thurzdaze special Halloween Birthday edition.
Viktoria has quite the resume including tours with Britney Spears and performances with Cirque Du Soleil, John Mayer, the Kardashians, Carmen Electra, Kevin Costner and now she works for my favorite Cirque troop : Zen Arts.

Abdi’s Birthday Party at the supperclub LA with Zen Arts, Symphonic Circles
LA HOT Magazine had the pleasure of spending time with the very special character, Abdi Manavi, the cuddly co-owner of the supperclub Los Angeles, before his birthday bash October 27th, 2011. Every Wednesday through Saturday night at the supperclub is a guaranteed good time with four course gourmet dinners in bed prepared by their chef, Guus Wickenhagen, breathtaking avant garde cirque performances and bottle service brought to your bed by an aerialist in pasties coming out of the ceiling.
The supperclub teamed up with The Do Lab for this particular Halloween birthday version of Limelight Thurzdaze to bring talent from all over. The night began with performances by contortionist, Viktoria Grimmy, and hoards of sexy fire dancers including (Heather Morales, Chrissy Cox, Veronika Goodnight aka Kit) all from the top cirque entertainment company traveling the globe, Zen Arts near the bar before dinner seating. The Sexy Sax Man performed some sexy smooth jazz with his band Symphonic Circles while guests were seated at their beds for dinner and show. Then the lucky guests this evening had the pleasure of an hour and a half of Zen Arts show. Zen Arts provided burlesque dancers (Valeree Pohl, Kelley Koski, Dani McCune), snake dancers (Karina Snakedancer), pole dancers (Zoraya Judd), aerialists (Sita Acevedo, Karina Snakedancer, Viktoria Grimmy, Rachel Bowman, Lexi Pearl), contortionists (Karina Snakedancer, Viktoria Grimmy), vaudeville (Ross Steeves, Paul SuperTall Newman), comedy (Ross Steeves, Paul SuperTall Newman), fire dancers (Heather Morales, Chrissy Cox, Veronika Goodnight aka Kit, Maki Shanti), hoola hoop dancers (Veronika Goodnight aka Kit), capoeira dancers (Alfred Kendrick, Phillipos Haile)
After dinner, the DJ lineup was worth staying and boogying off dinner with Temple Monkey, DJ Pumpkin, and An-ten-nae and DJ Laura performing as the LowRIDERz.
During the whole evening there were live artists collaborating to create something beautiful with the energy in the club: John Park and Ashley Bowers. Also, the host and comedian Scotty, the Blue Bunny, was prancing around making the guests laugh.
