Hey guys!  This’ll be my last push before running off to the circus, so consider this your last reminder for the SURE-to-be-badass DCVariety Open Mic- December Rocks Edition, coming up -this Thursday! (Yes, as in THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW. :D)  Everybody’s getting all souped-up, psyched-up and ready, so come on out, have some drinks, nibble some munchies, and watch a bunch of wickedly wonderful acts work it for you at The Red Palace! :D  Yours truly will be singing AND dancing there, so come on out n’ cheer on your friendly neighborhood waterling! ^_^

DCVariety Open Mic - December Rocks Edition

Hey everybody!  On December 13th if you’re in (or near) the DC/VA/MD area, come on by and check out my first variety show performance- EVAR!! ^_^  The Red Palace (formerly the Palace of Wonders) is a local variety show legend, known for its great burlesque, bellydance & sideshow acts, and soon it’ll sadly be closing its doors; so come on out while you still can!

They have a full bar, munchies, and of course, -awesome- variety acts!  I’ll be singing AND bellydancing, so come on out, hear your local siren serenade you, see her shimmy a hip or two, and have a blast at one of the Red Palace’s LAST events! ♥♥♥  

(And remember, anyone who gives the password “loves variety” at the door will get in for a mere $5!)  So come see the show, and join in the fun! ^_^

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!)
