I so very dearly wanna be a part of this circus (or, rather, one much like it in spirit & intent). :)  ..Do you think they’d need a singing, bellydancing, fluffy VI siren??? *snorfles*  

We really can do anything, with a little support, courage, humour and love. :)

(And seriously, before you watch, you really should get a box of tissues ready. ;))

PS: The gentleman who plays Will is a very real man, upon whom no special effects were used to make this film.  For those interested, you can find more about him here. :)

And somehow, just after I saw the last video I most recently posted about, this awesome woman came to mind.  My dear friend Reya had had this posted up as her profile image for a while on Facebook, and while I don’t find this woman “Classically Pretty,” there’s something about her that I positively adore. She is strong, (maybe even haughty?), daring, and practically challenging the viewer to slip forth a nasty remark, or let out a derisive snigger.  She is clearly a proud, courageous Big Woman, and I love that. ^_^  Although I know this image may not deal precisely with bellydance; as a fellow big lady and a bellydancer, images like this hearten me in ways I cannot describe, and give me courage to be that proud, strong woman that I see in this lady’s posture, in her manner, in her eyes.. and in that very small hint of a smile… :) She is a fellow adorned, tattooed, black-clad, curvy, fluffy, fat lady, and she’s challenging the world with her presence and her “I am here, try to move me” demeanor. :)  I find that immensely inspiring, and thus, insanely beautiful.  And I hope that in some way (even if it’s not the shouting out loud & getting all proud manner that I feel somewhere deep inside), that you do too. :) Dancing in Dreams of Foxy, Fat Womens’ Strength,Ylluria  (PS: If any of you know who this woman is, I would be incredibly grateful to know her name, so I could research her more. :)  Thank you so much!)
