dress up time!!!

one of the best bits about performing is ..............................
It's GREAT to have an excuse to dress up..
Ok, granted,, I usually wear dingly and danglies to weed the garden and such like, shimmering cloths and bits and bobs hanging off fingers and ears to do the grocery shopping, hitched and pin up odds and ends to hang out the washing, but all the more exciting when I can unleash my creativity without worrying about scaring the neighbors or the till lady at pick n pay.



I do know that its not only about how much stuff one can cram onto ones self or how much eye liner one can smudge onto ones face.... More about the dance ,, yes?,
When my flamenco instructor said " you know some people dress too flashy and it detracts from the dance",
 I couldn't keep my mouth shut for even a second. "thats exactly what I do" I said.. (now who owns up to such a thing when they are trying to look cool and collected?).


Mind you , don't misunderstand... The dressing too flashy part... YES<< I LOVE IT>>>

.The, detracting from the dance bit.......... WHO ME!!!!!!!!!???... well not all the time at least,  (just for the boring bits).

One day Im going to do a dance in plain black, nothing distracting and we can see how I fare. (I'll post the video up)............... (oh shucks, what have I roped myself into!!!!),
p.s. jokes aside, the first thing that I thought of when I wrote that was,, there must be a zillion cool ways to make plainblack look awesome.(I had better do the experiment in my pajamas to be fair)
