NATASHA SVETLANA FALLENOVER – THE ORIGINAL “HAIRY FAIRY”
At the age of four she was presented with a Life Time Achievement Award by the Vladivostock Nut Cracker and Sugar Plumber Operatives Association.
She won the coveted Wet Corset contest in Petronoscovitchgradstan after falling in
A lake full of swans. Her parents sent her for singing lessons and were delighted when her teacher described her as having “The Voice Of The Decayed”. Her spelling was atrocious.
She cites her best years as being those studying under the impresario Diaghilev. As a matter of fact she spent quite a lot of time under Diaghilev,.then she decided to take up ballet. Her big break came at the Paris Conservatory (to be honest it was not so much a conservatory-more of a kitchen extension) where she was introduced to Les Sylphides. Les was keen to show her his celebrated Pas De Trois so it was back to his pad post haste.
Madam Fallenover worked with all the leading Russian ballet companies, sweeping out the dressing rooms, titivating the tutus, tantalising the Tiaras- nice family the Tiaras-never missed a performance.
Nat, (to her friends) starred in her one women shows, “King Kong -The Ballet” and “Natasha meets Godzilla”.
Eventually this prima ballerina succumbed to the rigours of the ageing process and the once svelte diva became-well, a mess. She went to join the Kirov but they told her to clear off. That’s when she turned to Smirnoff whilst working in a beer off.
Once the toast of the western world Madam Fallenover is now a little burned at the edges. She will tell, with burning passion, of her highs and lows, her ups and downs, her ins and outs and the truth about her bunions and sagging kneecaps.
Indulge her if you will.
“SHE HAS PLAINLY BEEN SPRINKLED WITH FAIRY RUST-SORRY DUST”.
Natasha’s rendition of “Hairy Fairy” (parody on “Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy”) can be heard on www.youtube.com/donread OK, she’s a bass/baritone but nobody’s perfect.
Sometimes serious music can get a little tutu serious
