Belly Dancing!!!
A happier post!!

I finally got pictures from the recital from last Monday up and ready for viewing!
In attendence were Kevin, Krupa, Paramita, Alvin, Phillip (plus young daughter), Ginny (from out of town!), James, Thomas and various other people for other members of the group :)

Pictures are here (I decided to show by tag this time) (if you want to see pictures from all dates, go here).
And for everyone's visual enjoyment, MOVIES are here! (the CHARA website has been flakey lately so be patient and try again later...)
It is really interesting to see myself dance...

Here are some teaser pics ;)



These two were taken by Phillip Mitchem who was kind enough to give them to me :)

I really love how your hair's growing so long.

Thanks :)
It certainly has gotten long (especially when I compare it to this icon).

I now need to get a more flattering haircut for it - layers methinks...

I've gotta think long hair is better for belly dancing. It's like an additional veil growing out of your head, swirling around you like part of your costume.

I need a veil growing out of my head!! Oh yes!! :D

Belly dancing is the reason I'm growing it out more ;)
Longer hair just really looks better for it and you can do lots of interesting things putting it up or down or things... I need to learn how to play with my hair better :) I've been lazy about it pretty much my whole life ;)

Next step: Contacts!!
Maybe.
Or maybe more costuming...
We'll see.

No, contacts are a good idea.

You do the "sexy librarian" look very well, and the glasses certainly help with that.

But it's not really appropriate for belly dancing.

I'm going to start belly dancing lessons next year sometime.

There, I said it. I'm committed!

I do know that contacts are good, I'm planning on it but I'm not sure when I'll be able to afford them (astigmatism sucks) but I already know a really great eye doctor :) Heh, I've been fighting contacts for years - I just don't want to mess with my eyes. But belly dancing may be the thing to push me over the edge ;)

You totally need to be belly dancing :) It's such a good time!! I know a lot of girls who get a good deal more comfortable about moving within their bodies whilst taking belly dancing classes :) At first, it is awkward as you must learn to isolate but it pays off!

I'm definitely a girl who needs that. I'm way too self-conscious of the way I move. And I want to learn grace.
