He asked if I 'Delia Terry' who is also know with the stage name 'Delia' was invented by Borkowski? ‘’Your parents have been in show business for the past 30 years with the Stage name 'The Duo Du Sol' what a coincidence!’’ Of course this is not a coincident at all, it's just that Borkowski did not invent my stage Delia Du Sol. I did however work for Gerry Cottle's Circus about 15 years ago as a contortionist in his show. Gerry had an idea to go to a friend in advertising, Mark Borkowski to get this Giant bottle made up for me to squeeze inside. This was to add to my already professional act and to give the circus a different gimmick. It was such a huge bottle!! There was never a time I could not get into this with door left unclosed. I imagine any woman or man over a size 20 would have been able to get into this!! A small framed girl like me never had any problems!! Never the less the general public thought it was tiny and huge publicity came from this. When leaving the circus I asked if I could buy the bottle to use as part of my act on other events. The answer was no! As all circus acts and gimmicks go, we will never be the first to invent anything as this unusual art has been going for so many years, After the circus I decided to have a Perspex box made. This was much more to my liking. This was actually small! 20 x 17 x 17 inch’s. I work all around the world with my contortion act and the box is just a gimmick that I like to do to finish off the act. Gerry was a great man to work with and until this day I am truly thankful to him for showing me a great gimmick and not selling me the bottle!!
