is over and was a very interesting challenge! Um, like funky syncopated "music" (but I still squeezed some zils in there!) Here's a pic of a couple of the other courtesans & me (Vibrata-she had a wild "bad kitty" routine, me, and Dionys/Medea-she did a totally whack "Medea kills the children" scene that cracked me up every time.)

2008 Year of the Healthy Blonde

So I'm starting back dancing in small steps but really I feel terrific. School is great. The sun has come out, I have stopped working on the ark, and I am no longer collecting animals two by two. And the bathroom remodel is nearly done.

Architects poorly paid in D.C.

' "I guess I'll start, since I was the first [wife]. At least I think I was the first," Kayla said. "Douglas used to come to see me dance. I'm an exotic dancer." Sam[antha] raised her eyebrows. "Okay, I'm a belly dancer. I have muscles in my stomach that are like steel. My *real* job is working as an architect. I just dance three nights a week. I make more money dancing than I do at my real job. Douglas swept me off my feet," she said with a dreamy look in her eyes. "His money dazzled me, I admit it.... And the bait of ten million down the road didn't hurt either..." Kayla wore lime-colored capris with a matching cropped top that showed off her pierced belly button.

Many many MANY thanks to those of you who wrote or sent letters & cards or left messages. I really appreciate your kindness and I am starting to call all of you, I promise! I figured I'd Blog just to show I'm alive ;-) Two weeks ago, I suffered a penetrated ulcer (which I didn't know I'd had) and was rushed to the hospital. Due to the miraculous & mysterious workings of the universe and my body, I didn't need immediate emergency surgery (I am very popular with GI specialists right now.) I had to stay in the hospital for a week on IVs until I was able to swallow water. I'm now at home enjoying a bland, nonfat liquid diet until they can go in and assess the damage. I was crushed to be unable to attend the Fifi weekend - I heard it was fabulous and I know it was a weekend of a lifetime. I'm also super disappointed not to be able to compete at Belly Dancer of the Year 2007 (Duet). I *really* miss dancing a lot; but my doctors assure me I will be shimmying around soon. ----I really miss coffee too!

It's not who you are that holds you back, it's who you think you're not.

It is not necessary to change: Survival is not mandatory. ~W. Edwards Deming

Think of it as 2 hungry wolves battling inside you: an evil wolf and a good wolf. Both fight to control the way you live your life. Who wins? The one you choose to feed."

Yet more Truth

The one important thing I have learned over the years is the difference between taking one’s work seriously and taking one’s self seriously. The first is imperative and the second is disastrous. -Margot Fonteyn

More Truth

The reason that the human race has not, and will never, reach its full potential can be summarized in one word: MEETINGS.

The Truth

naiyaraks — Fri, 09 Dec 2005 07:41:09 GMT

Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are a good person is like expecting a bull not to charge because you are a vegetarian.

Always sweat in your costume first

Um, like, before performing in public in it. Practice dancing is fine, but I learned you have to really dance hard in it: so you will know if -just maybe- -perhaps- perspiration may cause it to slip down just a wee little bit --you know, enough so that your Victoria's Secret lowrise waistband peeks out....
