Others may imitate, but never duplicate. Isn't she cute?
This is Marbles, and this photo is a great representation of his personality. He is such a ham!

Since I’ve been taking up lots of space on tribes and other people’s blogs about the whole bellydance vs. burlesque thing, I decided it’s time to just post my opinion here and be done.
Honestly, the whole thing makes me heartsick. As I posted elsewhere, when I first took a bellydance class, I did it because I was drawn to the sexy-ness of it. Shake your head at me if you’d like, but I know that’s why LOTS of women are drawn to it. For the past few years I’ve felt like my ovaries are fro...

Yes, but...... as you are e-mailing the radio station to complain, don't forget to e-mail the newspaper to compliment them on the really lovely article they wrote! Let's make an effort to show support to those out there who do show bellydance in...

Christina is a wonderful person. She is a delight to have on tribe and is fun and amazing to interact with on the site. She has such a sharp personality, and is not afraid to speak her mind while always maintaining an honest sense of humor.

Ahhh what can I say about our lovely Diva founder?? She is a courageous, heart strong, smart, funny, and soo many other fabulous adjectives that are too numerous. I have known her for ever and she is so much a part of my life and I am thankful that in this world we are able to chose our family! Thanks for giving women a place to become strong and beautiful in their own eyes and hearts. I have seen and experienced this dance transform so many ladies into new strong women who have rediscovered value in themselves.
I would be a poor friend not to mention how much you have been there for me as well. I can only hope to return to you the gift of your friendship in the same generous way! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year my friend and sister. Thanks for the first ten years and here is to many more!

For several years now, everytime I see this girl I can not stop staring. Practically leering at her! Her smile is like a palace of lights for the gods. I once saw her dance solo over the summer and it toke my breathe away. She wasn't smiling, but sharing with us a deeper feeling which emoted through the audience. If anyone sees her with her troupe, you'll see nothing but love and respect. You go girl! You rock!
