Very Ladylike

A great color scheme thru out the building.

Cute sockies.

Thankfully, no advertisements.

Postcard Swap!

I have an assignment:
Make ten postcards for ten women on the theme 'beginnings' and mail them by September 1st.
What does 'beginnings' mean to you? I'm expecting I will use lots of glitter, and feathers - possibly a bit of nail polish.

There is at least one day in every woman's life when she needs this shirt.

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.

Song of the Banshee

I always remember the banshee! from Darby O'Gill and the Little People, but I never heard much about what a banshee really was other than a bringer of death (someone to avoid). As in today's culture you don't really learn about true histories of creatures; instead you are left to divulge the information for yourself from the internet or learn a bit about them in Charmed. I figured banshees! were mostly Irish but I didn't realize that they were originally family oriented.

According to tradition, the banshee can only cry for five major Irish families: the O'Neills, the O'Briens, the O'Connors, the O'Gradys and the Kavanaghs. Intermarriage has since extended this select list.

Bash 'em

This is perfectly worded. DragonflyBlade21: A woman has a close male friend. This means that he is probably interested in her, which is why he hangs around so much. She sees him strictly as a friend. This always starts out with, you're a great guy, but I don't like you in that way. This is roughly the equivalent for the guy of going to a job interview and the company saying, You have a great resume, you have all the qualifications we are looking for, but we're not going to hire you. We will, however, use your resume as the basis for comparison for all other applicants. But, we're going to hire somebody who is far less qualified and is probably an alcoholic. And if he doesn't work out, we'll hire somebody else, but still not you. In fact, we will never hire you. But we will call you from time to time to complain about the person that we hired. Rezzie can sure spot them ;)

Feel like...

...I'm going to pass out. Curse you Midol! No! I don't mean it! I only mean love-ly curses!!!!
