parasitegirlI was at Tullys working on Claudia's bedlah yesterday. Two women, 70's I'd guess, came up to me. Sometimes little old ladies are unable to resist my craft-bling.
The leader went to touch my bling and hesitated until I said it was fine.
"Nice! Nice" She said.
And then she gestured to her utterlly blinged-out bedazzled lapels...Old Japanese ladies have a thing for the bling. Some of the best practice scarves I've seen come from little-old-lady stores.
"Me too" She said.
I explained, "But mine is a costume. It's for dance, bellydance."
"Oh!" she said and then executed a damned good shoulder shimmy and some hand movements...much better than the usual gesture of "you mean this?" that I usually see.
"I saw bellydance when I was in Turkey on vacation!"
I let her touch the belt some more and she bid me goodbye.
