Get this party started indeed

[clevermanka]

Hm. I think I might have to start liking Pink. Or at least start respecting her as a performer. Because damn.

Not a bad song, not a bad singer, but wow, uber-gutsy and looks like she's having a hell of a good time. Doesn't get all pissy when her backup girls dance and sing right in front of her on stage, and one of them even swats her on the butt. They look like (gasp!) friends!

Anyone got a Pink CD I could borrow to see if I like her music well enough to buy it?

Thanks to cera (my newest internet-bellydancer crush) for the heads-up on that vid.

I got the jacket for the Steampunk outfit cut last night and now I'm second-guessing myself about the fabric choice. I'll go ahead and put it together, but I'm wondering if I should have opted for something other than the brown dragon brocade.

Yesterday I ate twelve pieces of cheese and a handful of Hint Of Lime corn chips. I am a healthy eating rock star. \m/ >_< \m/ I've stayed wheat/gluten free for four days, though. It's been pretty easy, but that's largely because I've been treating myself to...well, cheese and corn chips. And sushi.

I've got some mashups of this song if you're interested. Poke me in my gmail account, if so.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Poked! Thank you!

[stuology.livejournal.com]

OMG, I'm craving sushi. Badly.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

You'll be very happy to hear I still haven't gone to Wa. So it's safe from my curse, at least.

[tessagratton.livejournal.com]

Woah, sexy. And athletic.

I wanna listen to a CD now, too.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Woah, sexy.

Isn't it? I love how she's all "Look! It's fun to be sexy and playful with your girlfriends! You don't have to be a jerkwad diva to be hot!" Refreshing, really.

[adammaker.livejournal.com]

yum!

Great stage work and energy.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Makes me want to see her show in person. Except, you know, I'd be surrounded by teenagers. *shudder*

[nataliesee.livejournal.com]

We used to have a Pink CD....alas, it was stolen in the heist of '03. :(

Mmmmm, Hint of Lime corn chips. Made of YUM!

Jeezus. I really hope that person gets his comeuppance

One of the best things about good choreography is making it look effortless and even improvised. This was really well done.

This is an amazing point that I've never considered before. Huh! I'll definitely consider that the next time I choreograph a piece. Which, you know, has happened once in my 15+ year belly dance career, but you know...maybe again someday.

[gamera-spinning.livejournal.com]

I know it was an obvious statement that you're well aware of, I'm sure. I was just very impressed with how smooth and unrehearsed the whole thing was.

And that is an AMAZING icon.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

I might have been aware of it, but I'd never given it any thought or put it into words. I very much appreciate you pointing it out so clearly. I'll put it in my dance journal when I get home.

that is an AMAZING icon.

Thank you!

[slinka.livejournal.com]

I must see this jacket when it's done. The fabric sounds fantastic.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

I'll definitely be posting pics. Unfortunately it's sized for a D-cup so I don't think it would fit you or I'd offer to send it your way if it Really Doesn't Work with this ensemble.

[mckitterick.livejournal.com]

WOW. That's one athletic performer. And trusting. Just wow.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

And trusting.

Well, ya gotta figure the other aerial dancer knows what she's doing and wouldn't let The Star fall down if she could help it, but yeah.

Super impressive.

I think I'm going to go watch it again...

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

OMG, I just noticed in the second viewing that she slaps the butt of her support girl! That's awesome.

And she laughs at herself at the very end when she's a little dizzy and stumbles.

[redheadfae.livejournal.com]

I took to her when I saw her in the Lady Marmalade video. But that.. wow!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen that video. Is in on the Moulin Rouge DVD?

[auroraceleste.livejournal.com]

Yes, and a live performance, too. If you don't have it I'll loan you mine.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

I think there might be a copy at the house...

[redheadfae.livejournal.com]

YES!

[royal-spice.livejournal.com]

Wow, what an athletic and smooth performance...also, hott. :D

[auroraceleste.livejournal.com]

I like Pink. She has a good message, respect and female power. Here are some of my fave songs, conveniently you-tubed:

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the links! Also: when might you be around for me to pick your brain on ideas of how to achieve the idea I have for a fake bustle skirt?

[auroraceleste.livejournal.com]

Maybe tomorrow, especially lunch. Do you work on stop day? If not then, probably next week after Monday, if that's not too late.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

I do work tomorrow, alas. All my evenings are devoted to this costume at the moment, so just let me know what nights you're free. Thank you!

[shanmonster.livejournal.com]

Wow. Now that's what I call a stage show.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

No kidding! I don't go to giant arena shows anymore, but I might consider going to hers...provided I could buffer myself with enough of my older-than-fifteen friends. Also, it might help to get drunk in the parking lot beforehand. =D
