For those familiar with Twitter, the social networking site that limits posts to 140 characters, you’ll know what I’m talking about. I entered my Twitter page in the Twitter Background Gallery contest in the Photograph category and I just learned that it is featured! I have no idea what I would win if I get the most votes, but that doesn’t matter. I’m simply giddy to get recognized for my design ideas.

The photo I use is from World Tumbling Champion, Jim Bertz.  It was shot during my competition days and it’s of Jim and his teammates – my friends – doing handstands in the street. It was probably taken in the 70’s and has a wonderful vintage quality. I love the photo! Then, of course, I had to create a design around the photo. It was fun and I’m proud of my Twitter page.

It’s the second time I’ve entered a creative idea online. The first was the Obama photoshop contest on The Indecider.com where I gave The Prez a front row seat at my wedding last October. I posted about it recently, and if you recall I won that contest! So, maybe I should consider new career options …

Anyway, for those of you who Tweet, please go to @TwitterBGallery and vote for @Demisdouble background in the Photograph category.  I would greatly appreciate it!

THANK YOU!

Upon moving to L.A. to become a Hollywood stuntwoman, I brought my athletic skills to the table. My skills gave me a leg up in the film business. I had just competed in the US National Championships and made the US National Trampoline Team to compete in the World Trampoline Championships in Porto, Portugal in 1994.  This video is a sample of my skills back then.

If you have the wonderful opportunity to watch the Trampoline competition in the upcoming Summer Olympics, you’ll be amazed at how it has evolved in such a short period of time.  I don’t know if I could have kept up!  Today’s trampoline athletes are absolutely amazing.  Check them out this August.
