In a trend that runs parallel to the exploding popularity of pole dancing lessons among North American soccer moms, Israeli women - even Baby Boom-generation Ashkenaziot (Jews of Eastern European descent) - have been flocking to belly dancing activities and workshops in recent years. The art form...

It wouldn't be so bad if they weren't fat!...

Can't go to class AGAIN. Last week and this week, classes have been combined into one at 7:15, which is a good half-hour after Abby's bedtime, so without a lotta coffee in a little body, I ain't able to go. The week before that class was cancelled and I was the only one who didn't get told, so I dro...

Ooooh, I wanna go to this: The World Of Faeries Festival I've just made my first backless choli. I cheated and cut up a shirt from my sister that had no hope of fitting me (she actually buys size XS stuff. And we're roughly the same size), added ties and put it on. COMFORTABLE. Seriously, I'd been r...

I now own 3 pairs of size 0g earrings. None of them will go into my ears, not even the pincher-type ones that have very narrow tips that flare slowly to the bigger size. To me, this says that: -either my ears are so non-stretchy that I will be at 2g forever unless I scalpel, which is gross OR -my ea...

I've got a big performance coming up tonight. My classmates and I will be performing at the St Louis Dance Festival Showcase. It's this amazing event that includes every kind of dancing from modern to clogging. The Columbian folk dancers were really amazing last year. We have an interesting piece pu...

It's funny, now that I'm not so stressed in the rest of my life, I'm enjoying dancing a lot more too. As I got closer to the exam, I would feel guilty whenever I spent any of my free time doing anything other than studying. Now that my time is my own again, I feel a lot more free. I've lost almost t...
