Does Anyone Want New Music..? :D

Oh!  And speaking of myooziks, has anyone taken a listen to either of my new, revived li’l podcast..?  If so, lemme know whatcha think! ^_^

You can find ep. 1 here, 
and episode 2 here, 
or, if you prefer, you can also snag it on iTunes, here. ^_^
(But no matter where you get it, the show is always, entirely, FREE. ^_^)

It’s all about, by and for bellydance & bellydancers, so I hope the community enjoys it. ^_^  (And next up, I’ll be doing a show about the more unusual types of music dancers groove to, from Southern swang to gothy, and classical to maybe even a li’l dubstep. ;D)  ♥♥♥

You cannot fight it.  You cannot deny it.  My former teacher is the cutest amazon ever. ^_^  Woman has got personality and stage presence for miiiiiles!  (Plus she’s the only one I’ve seen in the WP videos that’s gone into the audience thus far. :D)  SO adorable and magnetic and generally awesome. ^_^  Go Ms. B.!  Yip YIP!!  ♥♥

Oh yeah- but before I go, would you like a preview of what someone might get, once they win this li’l blog’s latest contest..?   I recently realized that I had next to -no- brown-skinned dancers in my art portfolio (aside from a few photographs, and one drawing, where she appears amidst a troupe- which is, imho SO nowhere near enough).  So it seemed -high time- to make one, and this seemed like the perfect opportunity to get started. :)  There’s more to ‘er than what you see here, and she’s not quiiite done yet, but she’s well on her way, and I hope you like. :)   (For those w/screen readers, or others who just want a description; she’s got big, almond eyes, a smiling, oval face, permed hair in front, and natural hair accented w/one long, thick braid in the back.  She’s wearing a halter-style coin bra top, and a hair adornment w/dangly bits that extend from behind her ear to a large rose hair clip, nestled in the back.  It’s all in black & white, w/the original being on 8.5 x 11” paper, and was done in graphite/mechanical pencil. :) ♥) The winner of the contest will get the first print of this little lady, and the deadline is whenever I wake up today/tomorrow/Sat. (i.e., June 1st; so get your entries in soon, if you wanna win a free copy). :)  All it takes is an Ask/PM w/a pro and a con about this blog, and you’re in. ^_^ Now, see y’all when I wake up, ‘cause I am a SLEEPY girl! *yawns*  Night night! ♥

Loving this SO HARD!!! XD  
Srsly.. how badass is this piece???  And when they start doing the drops and windmill kicks??? *dies*  I -absolutely- lost it, y’all. *chuckles*  I was quiet up until then, and suddenly- WHAM- total fan-girl.  No joke.  Of course I was loving it throughout, but at that point, I was -literally- hooting & hollering at my computer, and when it finally ended, I unabashedly cheered.- Like.. IRL.  *lol*  LOVE THIS!!!  ♥♥♥  

To those who think you need to be one gender or another to bellydance, I say check THIS out!!! ^_^  We’ve got rather butchy gents, rather femmy gents, gents who seem somewhat gender fluid, and they are ALL freaking YUMTASTICLY FIERCE.  How can you go wrong??!! ^_^  

Out of the whole beautiful bunch (of whom I adore every one, btw), I think my particular faves are the guy in all the scarves (on wrists and draping from his noggin) w/the face fuzz, the 2 short-haired gents often dancing side by side in the pointy-hemmed, sleeveless crop tops (especially the smaller one- his attitude, energy & moves were sublime!), and of course, that fluffier dancer in the mix, who TOTALLY rocked it out center stage at one point!  Yee-ESS!!!  (And can I just say right now how much I adore that they included a fuller-figured dancer in this?  Thank you guys for that, too! ♥♥♥)   ..Just.. LURVE!! XD  *cheers insanely* 

-And if you DO like what you see, you should check out this li’l photoshoot I featured of the amazing, the incomparable (and the imcomparably sweet) Bagoas here, long ago too. :)  

Oh!  Plus if YOU”RE a gent (or know of one) who’s interested in bellydance (or if you just dig ‘em and wanna find a list), I have an ever-growing compendium of male bellydancers (alongside resources for our dancing male friends) available here. ^_^  (So if you know of one I’ve missed, please, drop me a line!  I wanna catch ‘em all! ;D)

Hope y’all dig, and no matter WHO you are, happy dancing! ^_^

I’m workin’ on the next bellydance-inspired ep. of Eclectica, and suddenly it dawned on me to get YOUR input, my booful bellydancing community, for whom this show is made, before I do. :)  So; has anyone got any suggestions or requests to put in for the next show, before I start recording tomorrow..? :D I’ve already got a little Oum Kalthoum on the way, as well as some Corvus Corax.. and others. ^_^  Plus I have a good li’l pool of podsafe & permitted musical bits available, and can always make requests of the bands YOU request. ^_^  But in case people have specific bands or songs they want, or should there be a band or two out there who wanna submit their work for the show, I thought I’d inquire. ^_^   So saying:  Might anyone want to hear anything specific..?  *tightens screws on headphones & listens closely* ♥♥♥
