Friday Five, and some content
1. What vehicle do you drive?
A 1991 Honda CRX with a bad purple paint job.
2. How long have you had it?
About four years(?)
3. What is the coolest feature on your vehicle?
The gas mileage and the new CD player that plays MP3s.
4. What is the most annoying thing about your vehicle?
Sometimes it doesn't want to go into reverse and I have to do this silly song and dance with the shifter before it finally goes in.
5. If money were no object, what vehicle would you be driving right now?
A repainted (red) 1991 Honda CRX with little fabricated devil horns on the roof and a license plate that read "dvldoll." Seriously, I love my car and other than a few modifications, I wouldn't mind driving it for another 20 years.
In other news, had a great time dancing last night. I think I'm getting better, more up to the level I was when I stepped out of the scene three years ago. My costume absolutely rocked, and I hope to get photos up soon. roya_spirit called me about 5:30 and our conversation inspired me to pull together a rather Halloween-y costume. Much fishnet was involved.
Roya looked absolutely stunning. I swear she gets more beautiful as time goes by. Seriously, she's one of those women that, if it continues, will look more stunning at 70 than any of us did at 17.
It's so fun to see new dancers start to perform. Alex got out and danced for the second time ever last night and she looked so much better than her first night. Her arms are a little more confident and she didn't look quite so much the "scared rabbit" (in Roya's words). Trenae, after only 4 years of bellydance, is already as good a dancer as I am (IMO). She just needs to work on her presence and control over the drummers.
I got several compliments on my dancing, and while I admit to being an okay dancer, I really do believe that most of what people see as good dancing is actually a good command over the audience. I know how to play them. I think a lot of this is due to my involvement in an improv group when I was in high school, and some of it is due to my repressed tendencies to be an extrovert. I would like to be a better dancer, but repeat comments in entry for August 29 regarding need to practice more.
I am so much looking forward to some quiet time this weekend. I really need it.

The bra I made on Thursday...the belt is over 8 years old. =) It's the first one I ever made, and probably my favorite.
The bodystocking is just something I picked up on a halloween clearance table last year. The gauntlets I made by cutting off the legs of a pair of fishnets, cutting finger and thumb holes, and then sewing the two legs together in back so they didn't slide down.
