Anything Fluffy...

I got distracted.

Shimmy Fest 2006

The colors were vibrant, music inspiring and all around you heard the soft 'ching-ching-chinga' sounds of women walking around and picking up costumes to try them on. It started with a zaghareet and people were pulled out of the audience to dance with the ladies.

The audience was of all ages, including several children. Before I attended the event, I mentioned that I would be going to a bellydance workshop and I noticed several people got a strange look on their face. It seems that, at least in the rural south, there are still some negative connotations attached to bellydancers.

Women of all ages danced. There were Isis wings, flame dancers as well as the swords.

Sadly my pictures of the candle dancers didn't turn out so well, and from what we were told by the announcer...it was an especially good show, especially with all of the hairspray the dancers wore.

Several troops and dancers came to the event. Desert Fire, a local troop. My favorite dancer name still has to be Al'seea Al'soon. Very Arkansas.

Mirage from Russellville performed quite nicely as well.

The final performance was by Princess Farhana, straight out of Hollywood. (She told me later that she loved my kitty cat purse!)

I really wanted this outfit. This one would have been nice too. I just couldn't afford it...this month. Yes, yes, Glenn was sad. Although I am tempted to learn how to make my own costumes.

What? No Chaps?

I know I have been teasing you for awhile, but my picture-computer couldn't get online for awhile. Don't worry, Glenn just fixed it and got brownies. Now, I give you the cowboy. Notice how well he sits his ride. He lasted longer than eight seconds.

Sorry the other pictures were blurry. I was a little distracted. At least I got this one right.

They've got this onion thing...

*daydreams* So, what if there is a planet out there full of these aliens, and they build a huge satellite and the first signal that they get is Buffy? And after awhile the entire planet tunes in to watch, after which they start to base their society on Buffy. 'Cuz, obviously they get this signal from the Universe, right? It soon becomes nothing but a planet full of Buffy-talk and requests for blooming onions at the local dance club. All of which are named the Bronze, but down every alley, you can find a really sweet little French restaurant - even though they don't really understand what French is. I'm not going to tell you about their fast food places.... There is a 'Joyce Day' when everyone mourns for their loss. Rats also become the pet of choice, as does spontaneously bursting out in song. Popular names for children are Jenny or Joan. And then, without any reason, another signal appears right after watching nothing but Buffy for about two years. Expanding their world, making them wonder, are the gods fighting? Is Angel trying to tell us something? Very soon you have different schools of thought, those of Angel and Spike. The aliens also learn about lawyers and karaoke. To arrive at specific floors in high-rises, codes must be entered by pressing the elevator buttons in a specific order, if you don't then you will arrive in the land of the puppets. It is a confusing world, yet one of many good nights, mostly spent in graveyards. Dressing up as your favorite demon is a daily thing. There is a high supply of stakes, and yet no one to use them on. Any meteors found are instantly pounced upon, and local hospitals are locked down tight. It a silly mixed-up world filled with well-intentioned beings, and a place that some fans wish existed.
