kjpepperWhee! Fisher Price my first belly dance recital went really well! I mean, I made a couple of minor gaffes, but I don't think anyone noticed. Our class were at the end of the program so I got to watch almost everyone going before me, and an unexpected treat was getting to see the always gorgeous autumnlaughing dance. (I didn't even know she belly danced. Ha haaaaawt.)
Heh, stage makeup. I devirginized my compact this morning (and considering I bought that pressed pwder almost three years ago that's really amusing.) Plus yikes, blush... I must say, I can't fathom people that put on five layers of pancake makeup every day, even though admittedly I look rather good in it. but still - it's nice to be able to scratch my nose or touch my face without having it come off, you know? sheesh.
Anyway, I had fun... saw plenty of people I knew in the audience (including Gypsy Heart Sasha! Who's aparently starting up a middle eastern/gypsy themed bed and breakfast - wow!) was vastly pleased by my own cheering squad in the audience and was touched when during the show intermission sydneycat presented me with a pair of dangly silver earrings with purple crystals that rather perfectly matched my outfit so of course I had to dash off and put them in. And the show was amazing - so many dancers, so many eyepoppingly gorgeous costumes, so many lovely non-flat bellies (there was even a woman in the advanced student troupe that was about six months pregnant who looked utterly gorgous - the third mother daughter team in that troupe, apparently) so many ideas for choreography... I know I know, I'm only one session of classes in, but I can already think of stuff that I'd want to do performing, and it probably will come out better that the little emo girl that soloed rather melodramatically to some heavy metal/Arabic fusion silliness.
I did have a moment right before our music started when my legs decided to go sproing on me. Right now actually everything hurts from the move - my back, thighs and upper arms are all bruised and achy and killing me. I think my first stop after I post this is getting one or two of those ibuprofen horse pills I have in the meds cabinet down, as I now have an apartment to settle into and it would be nice if I were somewhat less damaged feeling while I did it. Blargh. But I did just go shop for groceries for my very own house, which has a fun thrill all of it's own! It's going to be fun settling in... as long as I don't hurt doing it. :)
Some weekend, eh?
