Inside the mind of CoCo

Bright Colors, Theater, the occasional Cat, and Broccoli.

Today's Monday motivation is brought to you by my MF birthday. Decided today was the perfect day to skip the gym and recreate last year's photoshoot. I adore the mix of the stripes with the Stark orange. Definitely think the big hair was the way to go through. 👻🎃🦹‍♀️👻🎃🦹‍♀️👻🎃🦹‍♀️ Happy spooky season to all my fellow weirdos. Stay insane.

Happy #worldballetday!... a few days late. Ballet was the first dance style I started to learn and work into my body. No other dance form has reached into my heart and made me feel as ethereal as ballet does. No matter how much work I pour into my technique there is always more to perfect. Thank you to all the dancers who have come before me to develop this style, and good luck to all those who will come after.

What could be more #LA then mountaintop Yoga in the middle of a Hike?... Maybe if I was munching on a vegan taco? Pretty excited to be back in this crazy town. Time to hit restart on the fitness journey, and get back to aerial training. Had a lovely honeymoon, filled with delicious food, and some amazing people but now it's back to real life.

Recycled Art fills my heart. Enjoying all the Art and Landscapes as our journey starts to take us back home. This honeymoon has been such an amazing adventure, but I think I'm ready to get back and ready to fly. Come see me this Monday for some flight and fitness. ❣️🧚‍♂️ (at Roadrunner Rv Park Red River New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3pfUCTgpTR/?igshid=bvtlf0o0zmxz

Driving all day has been starting to drive me insane. All work and no play makes Coco lose her damn mind. Thankfully today we stopped long enough for me to run around a field and get a little stretching in. Vacation is fun, but my body is ready to get back to work. One more week till I return to Los Angeles. (at I-20 - Pecos, tx) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3iiayNAIko/?igshid=1b9isxux2oscj

Happiest birthday to one of my favorite performer, producer, and all around Bad bitch @toscacyr . She kicks ass, takes names, and looks incredible doing it. If you live in LA and haven't seen her perform yet, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? Check out her show @tarantinashow tomorrow night! (If it ain't sold out yet). If your not in LA, give her a follow. She is a world renowned artist and you never know when she'll pop into your city. Tosca, I hope today is as incredible as you are. Thank you for being you and for the art that you bring into this world. Have a happy birthday. 🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂 (at Club Bahia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2kI8BMgt0f/?igshid=g7cj8n5ye8ef

Happy Friday the 13th everyone! It may be 90 outside but my heart is into the fall and spooky season. I have never been a big fan of scary movies but for whatever reason this year I can't get enough. I think my inner woodsy witch is coming alive.

I absolutely love my career. The sweat, the work, the aches and the pain are all worth it when I see the wide eyes from the audience. No other job has brought me so much joy. Nothing else has motivated me to work harder and be better then who I was yesterday. 💖💖💖 Ps. I am so excited to show you what my witchy woman @monmiklas and I have been working on for you. Swipe to see a taste of what's to come. ..... ... ...... ..... #AvocadoFest @angelcitybeer #angelcitybrewery #aerialdance #aerialistsofig #aerialistsofla #DTLA #losangelesaerial #cirquenouveau #cirqueshow #cirquegram #aerialsilks #Silks #cirqueduinsta #aerialnation #aerialcirque #silksdoubles #aerialdoubles #bendyback #bendybabes #strongwomen #Silks (at Angel City Brewery) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2FWhrpAwfr/?igshid=10vjujyded48v

Bringing back #WOMANCRUSHWEDNESDAY strong this week with one of my favorite aerial inspiration lovelies. From the start of my aerial discovery this flexible and powerful goddess has always been goals. I speak of none other than @yvettedusol. A wonderful performer and a fantastic teacher.

Baby throwback! You can blame it all on me! I never feel more beautiful then when I am in full pin up drag mode. Big thanks to my girl @monmiklas for producing, fly with me, and for picking this adorable retro theme.

Absolutely love this shot from @angelcitybeer Avocado festival. I feel like it embodies all of my lady inspirations. Dita Von Reese, Rosie the Riveter, Amy Winehouse, and the legendary Katie Sandwina. Discovering the fine line of being a Cirque strong woman and a pin up Queen. Ready to explore further what this new style aesthetic will mean.... 😏 .... .. .... 📸: @dericmphoto .... .. .... #angelcitybrewery #angelcity #pinupeveryday #pinupqueen #citylife #cirqueart #cirquegram #cirquefreaks #cirqueduinsta #cirquedusoleil #aerialdance #slaythesling #aerialist #aerialistsofla #DTLA #hollywood #cirque #circusnation #circusfreak #pinup #splitsville #flexygirl #flexibilitynation (at Angel City Brewery) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1hPvbigSo4/?igshid=2b6kxqe9u0gp

It's time for a little #ThrowbackThursday! Checking out the photos from the @aerialsportorg Sapphire competition. This was so much fun to be a part of. Making new friends, enjoying the work of my fellow Aerialists, catching up with my family, and of course winning in my division didn't hurt either. Big thanks to the incredible @polegiraffe for capturing these moments. This piece meant so much to me and I am so happy to share it with you. Here are some of my favorite shots. More to come soon. .... . .. 📸: @polegiraffe ..... . .. #aerialist #aerialartist #aerialdance #aerialistsofig #slaythesling #aerialhammocktrick #aerialhammock #aerialsportorganization #asosapphire #aerialistsofla #aerialperformance #aerialcompetition #aerialcommunity #aerialnation #dancetrapeze #silks #hammocktricks #cirquephotography #cirqueart #cirquefreaks #CircusFreak #cirquegram #aerialslingdance (at Brava) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1eoT_TgQZK/?igshid=12pfrih6bqk9k

I had so much fun at @aeriformarts Lyra workshop! Learned a bunch of new moves and skills. I need to work on a lot but here's the best moments. Big thanks to @yvettedusol for teaching. She is such an inspiration and I'm over the moon that I finally got to meet you. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to ice my hands 😂 ....... ..... #aerialhooplove #aerialhammocktrick #aeriformarts #aerialist #aerialistsatplay #aerialistsofig #aerialistofla #fearlessgirl #aerialhammocktrick #lyracombo #flexyfriday #aeriallyra #cirquenouveau #cirquegram #cirquedusoleil #cirqueduinsta #lyra #lyrakisses #losangeles #hollywood #DTLA (at Aeriform Arts) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1VF-NuA7P5/?igshid=qu4e1335j34d

Taking a moment to celebrate my flexibility progress. Feels like it takes me so long to make any noticable changes in my flexibility, I work for months and months before gaining even an inch. Let's not even begin to talk about backsliding. For now, let's celebrate the progress, worrying about progress later ..... .... #needletraining #needlescale #gymnasticseverywhere #tranformationtuesday #thenandnow #progresspic #progress #progressnotperfection #californiagirls #yogaworld #yogaeverywhere #yogaposes #contortiontraining #DTLA #dancing #dancelife #dancerpose #flexygirl #flexibilitytraining #flexibilitygoals #flexibilitynation (at Downtown Los Angeles) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1IABMSgotz/?igshid=oykjfb2in985

Living my @bendyanya fantasy with this black and white training picture. No where near her level but slowly inching closer lol she is so inspiring. I've dreamed for so long of having a chest stand, I am over the moon to finally have enough flexibility, strength and control to begin work on it. Definitely more of a chin than chest at the moment, but I will keep fighting for every inch of flexibility, and with enough patience I'll get there. .... Set your own goals with my stretch class Sunday afternoons @aeriformarts. Let's get bendy together. .... ... .. #contortiontraining #cheststand #scorpion #gymnasticseverywhere #gymrat #aerialist #contortionistdreams #cirqueart #cirquetraining #fitness #bendyback #bendybabes #cirquedreams #cirquegoals #backbend #backflexibility #flexibilitytraining #flexibilitygoals #flexibilitynation (at Downtown Los Angeles) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzl8_JhgWgo/?igshid=103z5sl4tn1ky

This past few months my life has been consumed with the creation, Rehearsaling, and love of @cirquedugiselle. I have adored working with such an amazingly talented Cast and production team to breathe new life into this classic story.
