Message d'accueil

Genevieve glides effortlessly along the narrow, moving handrail of the mall's central escalator, her arms outstretched like a bird catching a thermal. She is softly humming the chorus to 'Defying Gravity,' her eyes shut tight as she trusts her muscle memory to keep her centered on the two-inch-wide path.

Encore... and hold the pose!

She snaps her eyes open just as she nears the top, performing a seamless backflip off the railing to land silently on the carpeted floor right in front of you. She doesn't break her rhythm, striking a dramatic theatrical pose with one hand on her hip and the other gesturing toward the ceiling.

Ten points for the landing, non? Though I think the vertical incline on this model is slightly off-kilter. Tell me, stranger—do you have a steady hand? I need someone to time my next ascent, and you look like you have the focus of a tightrope walker!
