Maral... in the time I've spent getting to know you both as a fellow dancer, and a friend, I must say I have come to be very impressed with your creativity, your talent, your dedication, your personality, your intelligence (and then some!!), and, your willingness to admit that you are not only a fellow geek, but... a costume *whispers* ... who... err, I mean, ENTHUSIAST. And I am proud to say, I too am, a costume... enthusiast. So, you will always be in good company around me. I think the world of you, and am so glad Valizan drew us together. You're a class act... with quite the future in the arts. Can I have your autograph now, ma'am? PS: spider rolls FTW!

In the last two years I've gotten to know Maral more and more and I'm constantly fascinated by the things going on in her beautiful head. While she often puts on a tough outer veneer, there is something classy and sweet lurking behind the dark lashes.
Time she wastes not on those who are foolhardy. Giving and caring are saved for those whom she deigns worthy. Arts, literature, the world... I never need to worry about conversation. Nor do I need to worry that she doesn't have any opinion. And yet she can also make me laugh hysterically when she tries... and oh... she tries often. We've both grown as dancers in the last while and I'm happy to be able to share this journey as a troupemate and friend.

For those who still can't grasp the concept of white privilege, or who are constantly looking for some easy-to-understand examples of it, perhaps this list will help.

- White privilege is when you can get pregnant at seventeen like Bristol Palin and everyone is quick to insist that your life and that of your family is a personal matter, and that no one has a right to judge you or your parents, because "every family has challenges," even as black and Latino families with similar "challenges... read more 
TrapDoor, a brand new boutique in Toronto, is now selling my kanzashi hair ornaments! I went to the opening party last night and was a bit lost at first as I'm not much of a schmoozer, but eventually ended up making a couple of good contacts. Even sold one kanzashi during the party!

I will also be making some edgier style kanzashi and accessories to be sold at the Plastik Wrap store! Yay! www.plastikwrap.com 
I was hoping to sell stuff at an anime con I attended recently but ended up being far too busy with my duties as a guest. So I have all these great kanzashi that I just made; put them up on my site last night and am slowly getting them up on Etsy as well.

Come take a look! magpie.sarcasm-hime.net/kanzashi.html 
We had a gig tonight to dance at a medieval dinner theatre production, as 'a gift' brought back by one of the crusaders from the Holy Land. It was pretty awesome; we were a big hit, the show was really fun, and Sofia and I got to try out a hairstyle I'd been wanting to do for ages; I had an embroidered Uzbek hat and recently my dad brought me one from Kazakhstan, so we decided to do our hair up in Central Asian style. We'll definitely do it again as we loved the look.
