I had a wonderful time at the Crepe Place, dancing with Didi and her student troupe, Raks Nahaash (the serpent's dance). The place was packed and I am glad so many folks came out to celebrate Didi--she is one of the coolest, nicest people I have ever known.
Here is me, in my makeup, which is about to be removed You can see some chemo baldness in the front, but I have a headband on and ratted/gelled/scrunched my hair within an inch of its life.
By the way, I'm 54 and I will never stop dancing (my other troupe leader Siwa said she's going to die at 101 after being shot by a jealous wife)! I sure like the bellydance crowd!
note: the reason I don't show the actual costume is because it is very revealing. I walked upstairs in it and CG's eyes darn near fell out of his head.
My name is Joan McMillan and this blog is, as Emily Dickinson says, "my letter to the world." I am currently working on a nonfiction book about the murder of a young woman, Asha Veil, born Joanna Dragunowicz, and her unborn daughter, Anina, on September 9, 2006. My book is meant to honor her life and illuminate the need to create a safer world for women and children.
