   ♡     QUINTESSA SWINDELL, THEY + THEM / have you ever heard of WITHOUT YOU by spooky black, well, it describes LUNA PIERRE to a tee! the twenty-seven year old, and OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST GYMNAST was spotted browsing through the stalls at portobello road market last sunday, do you know them? would you say THEY are more conservative or more FREE-WILLED instead? anyway, they remind me of scabbed up knees after a day in the skate park, thorns covering the stems of beautiful fresh roses, the void, maybe you’ll bump into them soon!     ♡    

trigger warning: sexual assault

when luna pierre first told their mother they wanted to be an olympic gold medalist gymnast, their mother simply didn’t believe them. they’d always been adventurous, scraped up knees, dirt bikes, monster trucks, climbing trees, and digging for worms were among some of luna’s favorite activities as a young kid. but as much as they loved getting down and dirty and physical, they could also be gentle and sensitive, through and through. the perfect blend of both one would say, they had to have it both ways, and why not? there was a time to be rough and a time to be soft. something luna mastered perfectly. they loved to sing, dance, and paint their nails as much as they loved to run, go to the race track, and play in the mud. they were truly connected to their inner being, and they wanted to express every inch of their souls desires in this lifetime.

with a single mom as a parent, they couldn’t afford gymnastics classes straight out of their mom’s pockets. when they were seven, they had to audition to be evaluated for a scholarship. at first their skills weren’t sharp enough, they didn’t know much about the sport yet and could do the basics like a back walk over and cartwheels. they begged the directors at the gym they were attending to let them join the team via scholarship and because of luna’s dedication and passion, they agreed. everyone in the gym knew luna had potential, it was just a matter of getting them the proper training. gym became luna’s first love. they ate, slept, and breathed gymnastics and all it had to offer. quickly climbing levels and skill set, luna was set to make the national team at 17 and it was their biggest opportunity and shot at making it to the olympics.

luna was homeschooled to give them more time to practice and eventually it all paid off when they made the olympic team at nineteen. it was all so surreal. they really made it to the 2016 olympics and won the gold medal for balance beam. even though they made world history, luna was holding back a devastating secret. their gymnastics coach from the olympic team had sexually assaulted them during a one to one practice one night and they were too scared, in shock, and confused to talk about it to anyone. right after winning the gold medal, luna pressed charges on him and it started up a wave of other athletes coming forward against him, one by one more people standing behind luna as it all went public across the globe.

luna moved back to their hometown of nottinghill to get away from their old life as a busy gymnast, training 24/7 and living to die for the sport. they have enrolled into an art program at a university to feel like a normal person again and that’s where they met her current best friend and discovered their love and talent for art. they’re exploring life and finding ways to heal their inner child and all the things they didn’t get to do while sacrificing their time and energy to gymnastics. luna is a free spirit and will let the wind take them wherever it needs them to go, they enjoy the experience of life and still brushes up on their training every now and then. luna works for zola’s mom as an acro dance teacher at excaliber cheer and dance also.
