OMG! What a weekend!

...workshops featuring Ava Fleming, Jim Boz and Karim Nagi
...back to back starting Friday morning (9am) and ending Sunday afternoon (5pm)
...-2- shows, one Friday and one Saturday

Ava Fleming...
That woman is made of rubber bands with 4-way stretch! Trying to work my old stiff body to resemble (even remotely) what she was doing was laughable. But she's personable and some of her visualization ideas were hot, to say the least.

It was reported on the news this morning that 2 day care centers were broke into...and while there were a few electronic items taken, the bulk of the thefts were, get this, food, diapers, paper towels, etc.

Are folks really getting this bad off?? Anything like this happening in your area?? Do I need to padlock my toilet paper??

Imagine my surprise when I picked up a pen yesterday and got shooting pain in the base of my thumb...right where the arthritis has settled. This soooo didn't help my handwriting.

My kidlets - well, they can never make up... read more

Re: Where to shop for professional costumes (in The Everyday Bellydancer) IMHO, you'd be better off buying a costume in as close to your size as possible and finding a local seamstress to do the final fitting work. Costumes are like street clothes - they're made for a generic fit and don't take into consideration some ... read more

Re: Full Figured Flattery (in DIY/ Bellydance on a Budget) The only thing I'd add is to not forget the top. To me, a top (whether bra or choli or crop top) with little decoration looks out of place with a mega-layered bottom.
