about me
Right now life is very confusing. Ask me later.
Ok, I'm back. Here are some basics. They tell you nothing about who I really am, but here they are anyways.
I paint. I sculpt. I make pots out of clay. I am a pretty good cook. I can knit and crochet, and sew. I play bass guitar, viola and the Tabla drum. I bellydance as a hobby. I change my hair color often. I love karaoke. I am a cocktail chemist. I like fantasy novels. I hate scary movies. I am fascinated with mummies. I speak french. I am moderately good at most things, and excell at nothing. I like to write but I hate typing. I don't like people who wear fur. I'm a Bollywood movie buff. I get along with 99% of the people I meet, but I only like maybe 50%. Tori Amos is my favorite singer/artist...I know every word of every album. I wish I could speak Japanese. I like obscure trivia. Blue is my very favorite color. I have very straight teeth, but my gums show when I smile. I don't like being naked. I have lots of moles. I've eaten horse meat (not on purpose...it was unknowingly. It tasted like very lean filet mignon.) I don't like seafood. I love Thai. My favorite day of the week is Saturday, because I still remember getting up early as a kid to watch cartoons and the association has stuck. I quote Ren & Stimpy whenever I can. I hate my feet. I would like to visit Greece. I don't look good in orange. I once dropped a couch on my big toe and popped the toenail clean off. Don't worry, it grew back. I never remember how to tell a joke correctly. My eyes change color. I don't eat processed meat. I am disasterously naive. I hate being cold.

My Testimonials

October 25, 2007
Beautiful dancer. She is graceful, skilled, always smiling, and truly loves what she does. Not only is she a talented dancer but she is a wiz with a needle, thread, and hammer. She is a good listener, a great mother from what I have seen, with a supportive man in her life. Watching her interact with her family impresses me more than anything else and I am happy to know her.

Inara is such a free spirit and beautiful dancer. She is creative and open to new ideas and new ways of expressing herself. She is a great singer too. So glad I have had an opportunity to get to know her! She is a great listener and has a good way of seeing both sides. She is very patient and kind and has a good sense of humor. I can't wait to see our new venture come to life!!! It promises to be lots of fun!

My Blog

The Neens and I (read; Nisha) jumped in our majic spookmobile (aka my 02 white KIA Optima with the crusty backseats) and careened our way towards Fullerton for the convening of Bellydance's goofiest and spookiest souls. We make record time and slap on some black liner and flares and head over to the meet-n-greet. Our appetites dictated the evening...when hearing that food at the Commonwealth Grill was expensive and not likely to be forthcoming for quite a while we ditched the soiree and heade... read more

ok, so tonight I perform on the open stage for IBDC...sortof nervous cuz I didn't choreo at all for this number, but also kinda lax about it bc I figure who's gonna be there, really? Also, it's only, what...6 minutes? Still, I'm a bit nervous...so I decided to sooth my nerves by stealing this survey from Raven and filling it out:


Three names you go by:
1. Virginie
2. Virgil
3. Inara


Three Things That Scare You
1. Roaches
2. Hypodermic Needles
3. Turning into my mother

Well, apparently I love it cuz I've got my fingers in so many I've got a stomachache just thinking about it.

I'm performing at IBDC, my troupe is competing at IBDC, I've got the Henna workshop tonight, the UNMATA workshop at the end of the month (not to mention the Hafla) costumes to make, choreo to finalize and learn and PRACTICE, Birthday bashes, restaurant gigs, etc etc etc.

In case you're curious here's what I've bee... read more

*cracks a crusty eyelid open*

good lord! what a weekend!
Started off by racing home to practice with Nisha and Raven for IBDC (they liked my costume design...which is a HUGE relief...) then right after that it was a rush to do hair and make up and then over to Sunfyre's to finish getting ready fo First Friday. I danced with SUnfyre on a cute little tribal number I choreo'd for us, and then did a solo (...'meh....not my best, but I was tired...) and then watched NIsha and Ethnophonica rock... read more
