MY NAME
My name is Sabrina. It is a latinization form of Harben, it is the original Welsh name of the river Severn. Sabrina was the name of a princess who was drowned in the Severn. Supposedly the river was named for her, but it is more likely that her name was actually derived from that of the river, which is of unknown meaning.
MY SURNAME
My surname is Slobodyanyuk. This surname descends from my paternal great grandfathers from Russia. I don't know what it mean but for me it's a strange surname.

WING SUITING
Wingsuit flying is the sport of gliding trough the air using a wingsuit which adds surface area to the human body to enable a significant increase in lift. While the parachute flight is normal, the canopy pilot tipically unzips arm wings to be able to reach the steering parachute toggles and control the descent path.
PINKSTINKS
HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD
The Walk of Fame is a sidewalk where you see five-pointed stars.
There are over 2400 of these stars.
They run for 2.1 km along the avenue.
They commemorate the lives and achievements of Hollywood's greatest celebrities.
There are stars for everyone, from Michael Jackson, Walt Disney, Charlie Chaplin...
Hollywood Boulevard lost its magic in the 1970. The avenue soon had a reputation for crime and violence. However, today the area is safe again. The Kodak Theatre is now the venue of the Oscar Awards ceremony. Then there is Grauman's Chinese Theatre. This is the most famous movie theatre in the world. Its famous for the hands and foots imprints set into the cement.
