Bellydance weekend photo

[clevermanka]

Woke this morning feeling rested and well. What a nice change!

I think this is my favorite photo of me at faire this year so far:


I'm embarassed to say I don't remember who took it. A man handed me the CD with this on it just after opening gate on Sunday. But for the life of me, I can't remember who it was--I don't even recall what he looked like. *hangs head in shame*

Tonight, yoga. Thank gods.

Today's the deadline for me to submit names for my guest list for the last weekend. If I don't already have your name and you want to go to RenFest this weekend, email me before noon!

What a great and sexy photo!

Glad to hear you are feeling better, too!

(!I seem to have taken some sort of exclamation point supplement this morning!)

Whoa.. just.. whoa.

Maybe next year you can come visit during the weekend I'm bellydancing.

Thank you! And thank you!

Awsome picture!
I actually have some pics of you at KCRF from nearly 10 years ago.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Aw, cool! From when I was a baaaaaaby!

Sexy!

But the real question is... can you flip the sword without dropping it?

;)

If you think it was a short guy with glasses and a goatee with a black and white mastiff, then I know who it is. He's handed out cd's of pics at faire before, I'll see if the one he handed me has his contact info and send an inquiry.

Yeah, he's sooooooo want to do that...

Could also have been Phil Gunderson who has taken several of the images we use on our CDs. He normally gives us a disk of the images he's taken of us. Medium height, sandy blond with glasses and a big smile..

I just think about that knee drop you do and I instantly go wet you know...

Goddess.

HA! I wouldn't even try to flip a sword. Or a cane, for that matter. I dropped my sword off my head twice this year (both times on Saturday, neither time was during parade) and I think that's a record. I'm pretty good about not dropping.

Funny: before we knew we were staged at the Dell, the girls doing floorwork around me were supposed to be really close, and arrayed out around like a petal, with their heads very close to me on the inside. Everyone was willing to do it because even though the sword has been known to slip off my head, I always catch it before it falls to the ground. How cool is that? It's good to be trusted.

But then we got put at the Dell/Royal Glade and nobody wanted to roll around in the gravel. =D So I did nearly all the floor work since I was in the middle of the carpet.

Nope, it wasn't Max's dad.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Maybe. It was someone I wasn't familiar with (i.e. not one of our usual photographer guys).

[verminiusrex.livejournal.com]

Good, because I couldn't read the last name on the disc he gave me, making the location efforts much more difficult.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

It's called a Turkish Drop. It's stupidly dangerous if you're not naturally bendy in the knees. Satowi and Michelle do a beautiful one, that goes much slower and requires more thigh strength. I'm working on that one, but it'll be a while.

[rowangolightly.livejournal.com]

hmmm....Yeah, there are several guys I recognize by face as taking a lot of images but for whom I do not have names. And that's just from KCRF!

Guess that's just one of the hazards/benefits of performing, huh?

[arkhamrefugee.livejournal.com]

YES, PLZ!

[arkhamrefugee.livejournal.com]

Are you saying I am predictable?

[hurricanedeck.livejournal.com]

Sexy!!! I love the look on your face the mostest.

[tessagratton.livejournal.com]

That is excellent.

It would be neat if you could flip the sword successfully - but barring that, better not to try it. Unless you're going for making me laugh.

(Gods, it's still one of my favorite memories from this season!)

[black-king.livejournal.com]

You look stunning, as ever, dear.

Miss you. :)

[gamera-spinning.livejournal.com]

That is a fantastic picture.

[socialdragnfly.livejournal.com]

That makes me want to learn how to dance!

Nice! And damn! Missed your bellydance weekend. I'll have to get out there Sunday, then. Only viable option.
