From this past Saturday evening, a show I almost missed because - exhaustion. Meanwhile, I'm trying to do my taxes. Lamest task I have all year. Also makes for the crying.

.things of recently.
• I did two shows in St. Louis (both nights of Naughti Gras VII). And I hurt myself. Because dancing in a cold environment is not good for not warmed up muscles. And not stretching after dancing in a cold environment is not good for really not good for my muscles. And hanging about for hours shivering after all of that isreally not good for my 32 year old body. Also there were those two four hour drives which only made everything horribly worse.
• But despite all that we found the most wonderful restaurant in the world, Athlete Eats, where everything is gluten free and Delicious!
Check out these waffles:
• Then I lost my sketchbook.
• Then I got really really sick and wondered why I wasn't dying.
• Then I switched back to a real day planner because as much as it's convenient to be able to just magic-tech events into my husbands phone, it's absolutely no good for me planning my life.
• I found out through my new favoritest podcast, Oh No Ross and Carrie, that if you let Mormon's talk to you about Joseph Smith and Jesus they'll paint your house for you. So that's useful and exciting! I can't even get my carpenter to finish fixing my front porch and I paid him with a giant mural.
• And somewhere amidst all of that I managed to book some gigs and get etsy orders out and found my sketchbook. And go to my day job. And I bought a waffle maker and defeated Tuesday with it.

I am an American Bellydancer (pt1?)
This was originally intended as a response to a certain article by a certain woman, but it got away from me - and honestly the whole situation was so exhausting and then there are at least two other responses that put everything so much better than I ever could and in the end...
...I'm mostly just really sad that in an opportunity to write a feminist article, she chose to attack other women.
#1 - I'm a white woman and I bellydance.
#2 - Why I can’t stand neo-segregationists.
Just in case you hadn't noticed yet - it's right there is the title.
While I believe my ethnicity has little, if anything, to do with it - I am as far as I know of European descent. Polish and French if it's important to you.
And if that is important to you in the judgmental kind of way, please just exit my life right now.
I first saw bellydance back in 1999. I was seventeen, and stayed late after a Swing Dance class to talk to the instructor. Then the bellydance class walked in, with veils and hip scarves and at the time it was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen in my life. I sat there with one shoe off and one shoe on and my jaw slack until the teacher came up to me and asked if I wanted to join in.
I asked when the beginner class was.
