My Pink Pantaloons

Well, I did it.  I made the pink pantaloons and they look pretty good.

I may have made them a little too short, I’ve think  they’re supposed to almost drag on the ground when dancing, but this way I don’t have to worry about tripping over them.

Jon asked if he could take a picture of me and I wanted one for my blog too, but I hate posing for photos.  He took a couple of pictures, and I just looked frumpy in them.  Mostly because I hate posing for pictures and it shows.

But then I remember the thing that got me to want to bellydance in the first place.  It was the attitude  the women had who were dancing.  I think of it as a “fuck you” attitude. Or “Here I am and I look great and I don’t give a shit what you think” attitude.

That’s the funny look on my face in the picture.  Me saying fuck you, trying to get in the spirit of it all.

Now I have to learn to say it with just my body or at least to myself, instead of out loud.
