That's her on the right--in the tutu and fairy wings. (I was firmly on the ground with the 70-200 f/2.8.)

It was for a good cause. No word on whether she spied any good 2022 plans while coming down.

No particular reason. That's just how she rolls.

If you've got big enough cajones to repel down a building, I think you get to wear whatever you want!

That's cool. Looks exhilarating.

No apprehension about breaking windows?

I woulda set up a few feet to the right.  I'd end up doing a Crocodile Dundee through a window, that's just how I roll.

I wouldn't think so. Building codes in Florida are pretty strict.

I'd definitely be on the ground, myself. Not sure I could watch if it was my wife. Good for her!

Let's just say that it was something. The ISC building is eight stories tall. Next year they're doing it off a 10-story building.

Oh, I've done that! Different building, though. 

Good on her. Next time you've got to try!

I think she just saw the elevator, the roof and like one room inside where they were briefed. I've been in the building before but not that day--just hung out outside.
