Meet the woman living her best life as a 'professional weirdo'
North Wales Chronicle ^ | Matt Warner

Posted on 06/06/2024 12:26:19 PM PDT by nickcarraway

A YOUNG woman has spoken how embracing the alternative has empowered her.

Today, Kitty Von Crypt is a celebrated alternative model, burlesque artist, and circus performer.

She even breathes fire!

She puts it down to embracing the alternative aesthetic, enabling the then awkward Colwyn Bay teenager to transform into the striking performer she is now.

Kitty, of Colwyn Bay, said: I didn't have a lot of self confidence growing up and modelling in the alternative style gave me something to be proud of and made me feel comfortable in my own skin.

"When I started doing the more raunchy stuff I was amazed at how good I felt afterwards, its so freeing.

St Asaph-born Kitty is well-known in North Wales and beyond, performing at many events including Conwy Pirate Festival, Rhyller Thriller, and Colwyn Bay Pride.

She is also part of Inferno, a collective of alternative circus performers based in Cheshire and North Wales.

She added: "I would describe myself as a professional weirdo, haha!

"I am an alternative model and circus performer as well as a content creator. I have been modelling since I was 16 (so over 15 years!) and performing for maybe around eight years.

"I started by doing alternative fashion modelling and horror photoshoots and over the years it has grown into what it is today. "

Recently, Kitty won a prestigious award and is currently nominated for two more.

Details and how to vote can be found on her Instagram page.

Although amassing a legion of fans and followers, Kitty says that members of the public are not always as understanding when it comes to her unique style, which includes multiple piercings and facial tattoos.

But she has the support of her family and friends.

Kitty added: "My family and friends are super supportive, they all understand that I am my own person and have my own path in life to follow.

"Members of the public, not so much, haha. I have had a lot of negative reactions in the past but I don't really pay much attention to it! "

Kitty also works as a piercer in studios in Colwyn Bay and Llandudno.

He ultimate aim in her work is to be happy, but there is one stage she would like to grace.

She said: "I just want to have fun and be happy! And if I ever get the chance to perform my fire act at Download Festival I'd be pretty happy."

“Is this a career?”

She should run for Parliament. She’d fit in just fine.

made me feel comfortable in my own skin.

Nothing says "comfortable in [one's] own skin" quite like lots of tattoos, multiple piercings, and a quarter inch of construction grade makeup.

And one of a Satanic goat.

Does anyone know what goats ever did to become associated with Satan?

Jesus’ Words in the Gospels I suppose

Goats on the LEFT ⬅️

Matthew 25:31-33
New King James Version

The Son of Man Will Judge the Nations

31 “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory.

32 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats.

33 And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left.

This is what the Internet has done for us. Knocked self-esteem flat among kids of all ages. No matter how good or successful you may be at something good and useful, somebody out there is better than you. So just say “screw it” and be weird and useless.

With all that metal sticking out of her, after “hitting it” you would need a tetanus shot and maybe some other antibiotics.

why don’t people and commenters consider the spiritual side of this?

we all make choices and every one has a spiritual healthy or unhealthy (good or bad) attached to whichever we choose.

and whether people want to believe it or not, there is a God created this ball we all live on and each of us, and one day we will encounter God.

I’ve been an amateur weirdo for 48 years. I guess I missed my calling.
