Re: Desserts!!!
Sat, May 10, 2008 - 1:17 PMdessert: cheesecake
mood: sumptuous
relation: (okay obviously i'm talking about really really good cheesecake- which i happen to make) and good cheesecake is like bellydance because we are rich, lavish, decadent women... our personalities, our relationships, our costuming and makeup and our dance. most (if not all) of us use this dance and the time we put into it as a way to indulge ourselves... whether it be for exercise, creative expression, crafting urges, socializing, or just playing dress-up and pretending you're someone else for a while... and what dessert SCREAMS ~indulgence~ more than cheesecake? none. nuff said. -

Sun, May 11, 2008 - 8:07 AMI totally 2nd Sam on the cheesecake bit. And like cheesecake has so many different varieties that all stem from the same beginnings, it's the flavorings and additions that make it different; bellydance is what blends all of us together.

Sun, May 11, 2008 - 1:06 PMI would almost second (third? fourth?) the cheesecake, however, the problem with the cheesecake for me is the association it has with pin-up girls and porn. I don't associate cheesecake with bellydancing unless Sam brings her amazing cheesecake to the studio...can't dance...eating cheesecake...
I like a nice cheesecake. I luvs me some cheesecake, but if I'm going to equate a dessert to bellydancing, then it has to be those amazing truffly things that Lana (Lanae?) makes for us from time to time.
Deep, dark, chocolatey goodness with just enough chill to make it special when you are finally allowed to the middle part. Rich and thick and creamy and so amazingly fudgy...Lana's truffles are like super slow chest arcs followed by the slowest torso rotation you can imagine ever happening ever. They're like gliding across the floor in a silent but intense Berber walk.
*droool*

Sun, May 11, 2008 - 9:38 AMMy favorite dessert is Ice Cream (I am a simple girl). Any kind of ice cream. Except Mint Chocolate Chip - blech, ick, nooooooo.....
Totally relates to bellydance, as it too has many different flavors with endless combinations - something for everyone to love. Different dancers, different music, different styles - and they all make me happy. Much like ice cream. Except the Mint Chocolate Chip - but there's always *one* dance/dancer/piece/costume that's "just not your thing".
ps...me not liking Mint Chocolate Chip is *totally* related to BD also because there's one uber-popular BDer who everyone else *loves*, and I just don't get it - personally I don't like her at all & don't get why she is so worshipped. Much like Mint Chocolate Chip.

Sun, May 11, 2008 - 5:18 PMGrilled peaches - they look like ordinary peaches. They are so much more. Just a bit of heat brings out flavors that you did not think were there. Natural, but also exotic. -

Sat, May 17, 2008 - 10:57 AMBananas!
A big bunch of bananas.
How it relates to bellydance?
Total Improv baby! (to think of a banana in a split second)
Teamwork! (to get the dancers to be a bunch of bananas with you)
S-P-E-C-ing (to be truly emoting a bunch of bananas and look good doing it)
Bananas has been done and it is do-able.
