Belly dancing

Thursday nights for the next few Thursdays will be known as "Shake yer thang Thursdays"
No, i didn't get an extra job stripping again. I rounded up the Avery ladies and convinced them to join me in a belly dancing class! The belly dancing was fun on it's own but the wine and quality family time were icing on the cake. Although i'm actually sore from learning to shoulder shimmy and hip shimmy, i can't wait to see what we'll learn next week! Maybe i'll even get up the nerve to try a hip belt with coins...
ching ching ching chi-ching.
Pretty soon i'll be shakin it like this:



...ok, maybe not exactly like that... she's all like "no big deal, i dance with chandeliers on my head...what? you don't?"

wow.
talk about a party trick.
sign me up.
