If someone mentions the "Bubble Lady" to you, you might
immediately envision Julia Vinograd peddling her poems and
blowing bubbles on Telegraph Avenue. But no, this Bubble
Lady is just for children; in fact, she's also a clown. She
waves her magic bubble wand and creates a space-bubble
ballet as she toots out the theme to Star Wars on a kazoo.
In her repertoire of bubble sculptures, she claims, are
mermaids, unexplored planets, castles, trumpets, and
spaceships. Can she really make all those things? "Well, in
the world of make-believe and imagination the bubbles can
become anything to children," she explains.The Bubble Lady,
aka Rebecca Nile, studied the art of bubble- making with
Louis Pearl, known as the Amazing Bubble Man. She uses a
base solution of Mr. Bubbles cut with Joy or Dawn,
glycerin, and distilled water. With it she can make a
bubble around your child, with the use of a hula hoop
outfitted with a handle and a "bubble pool." She also makes
bubbles within bubbles. "The world of bubbles is quite
magical," she says. "We're amazed by their perfection, how
ephemeral they are."

Thirty-five Isleton children and adults went to Bubbleland on Thursday. Their tour guide was Rebecca Nile, otherwise known as the Bubble Lady. Nile drove from Mills Valley with a sump pump, swimming pool, tarp and 5 gallons of soapy water to give the children bubble hair, create a bubble spaceship and introduce them to the Bubble family. The finale was a trip to the bubble Milky Way. "I try to stimulate the imagination of the children," said Nile, who calls herself a storyteller who uses bubbles. She attempts to engage the adults in her audiences as well and recently started taking her show to resident care homes for seniors.

Nile presented an unusual show for about 30 children by giving life to bubbles large and small - and even creating bubble sculptures. Above, Nile fills the hands of 6-year-old Isleton resident Devin Bettencourt, 6, with shimmering effervescence.
