To juice me up for the show tonight, Martin puts me in a strappado. It's one of the harder positions for me - very strenuous on my shoulders. When my feet are tied, it becomes a lot more challenging. When my hair is pulled back, the pain is a little more tolerable, but then Martin ties my crotch rope to the ceiling and it's right back to being super uncomfortable. At least with the crotch rope slightly lifting my heels off the ground, I can pivot my feet and turn in place. After a while, Martin releases me and takes me straight to the rack where the real fun begins...
