138 ET ALORS?<br />
“I wouldn’t mind appearing on the cover of Vogue.”<br />
Mr. Pustra aims for no less than the sky when he is<br />
asked about his goal for 2012.<br />
Knowing one should never run before one can walk, he<br />
tests the waters with an interview for <strong>Et</strong> <strong>Alors</strong>?<br />
We caught up with the UK based performer, artist, musical<br />
saw player & video editor after a trip to Rome where he<br />
taught a “vaudeville & variety masterclass”, which can<br />
only mean that he’s good at what he does. No wonder our<br />
curiosity was aroused: who is this Mr. Pustra?<br />
“I was always shy and insecure. I just day dreamed most<br />
of my time and pretended to be someone else, be it no<br />
one in particular though. Gradually, my confidence grew<br />
during my 20’s so I was a late bloomer as they say. I feel<br />
more assured with the person I am today and I owe it to<br />
performing. Being Mr. Pustra has made me more at ease<br />
and people seem to respond well to him. Or me? I get confused.<br />
Mr Pustra “is” me. But he just looks better.”<br />
