And to those of you who couldn't make it -- we had a full house, so there was no room for you anyway. :-P
Seriously, though, it was a wonderful show, hosted by the ever-gracious Leni and Scott Wilson. And two of my very favorite musicians joined Scott's band, Efendi: maestros Rami ElAasser on dumbek and David Kuchermann on riqq.
In the hustle and bustle of scrambling into my new costume, I forgot to give my camera to the friend who'd agreed to video me ... So there is no video I'm aware of.
But there were TONS of photos -- many excellent ones by Sal Romano, whose lovely work is posted below and on my flickr page.
Here is my entrance to Beyolunda ...
... next was the veil dance to Bir Dimet, where I revealed my gorgeous new costume.
Threads look familar? Could be because this stunner is a hand-me-down from the transcendently stunning Darshan.
Next came the candle dance, which inspired several generous patrons to start throwing money around...
Sticky, sticky money... :->
And please -- no jokes about rolling in dough...
Although it was fun. :-D
Now, onward to the Bellyqueen 10th Anniversary Gala.
Hope to see you there!!
