I think I have defeated the tendency of the green leopard Hanan's skirt to slide by sewing strips of denim exactly as long across the back as I am at that point into the back of the skirt.  I couldn't budge it downwards even by shoving at it, nor by jumping around the house to saidi music.  So I think it's good to go for tonight.  Because there's nothing to make one less anxious about a performance in a new place than to wear a costume that has malfunctioned before :-/  But I really think I've fixed it for good...

You know you are a dancer for real when you find yourself thinking "what I really need are legwarmers."  I do though, I hate dancing in socks but our floors are very cold, so legwarmers would help warm up my blood as it heads into my feet.

It seriously annoys me that people are saying Lacey Schwimmer is overweight in any way shape or form.  How is this woman (photo from this season of Dancing with the Stars) too heavy?  She looks strong, awesome and sexy.  And, heavens forbid, healthy.  I've never been her biggest fan but this is repugnant.

relates to nothing in particular...
I had a dream last night that you and I were hired to bellydance at a big gala for a zoo. The animals in the zoo were also in attendance of course. We had the coolest costumes too - I wore a white tiger Hannan and you had an orange tiger Hannan.

Well, in the first link, the girl on the right is wearing a not too flattering dress...but she still doesn't look overweight. You're right--she seems a good, normal weight, and really strong--especially in the second pic.

What annoyed me was the quote about how people look to that show to be inspired to work out more, and if they saw a dancer look like that they'd be discouraged instead. Um...so now they're actively endorsing that whole problem of the media pushing unrealistic and unhealthy ideals?? She looks pretty damn good.

WTF!? I agree the dress wasn't flattering, but I also agree she still doesn't look overweight. In the second picture? She has MUSCLES.
DO YOU PEOPLE NOT SEE THE AMAZING DEFINITION IN HER TUMMY AND HOW POWERFUL HER LEGS ARE?

DANCING TAKES MUSCLES. WOMEN SHOULD BE PERMITTED TO SHOW OFF THEIR AWESOME DANCE MUSCLES AND NOT GET TOLD THEY ARE 'FAT'. DO NOT TAUNT HAPPY FUN KAZ, SHE LOVES THE MUSCLES AND IF YOU ANNOY HER FURTHER, SHE WILL MAKE COLE SLAW OUT OF YOUR HEAD. NOM NOM NOM.
