Woggle-Bug, the failed musical.

Dance name take two:

 

Okay, one of the other things I must consider when choosing a dance name is that it will be pronounced with a Japanese accent by my classmates and mispronounced, with no rhyme or reason, by my teacher.

 

So let’s look at what we have:

 

Fahada (the leopardess): I have a fear that I will be called something that sounds like father…and I won’t even have asked, Who’s your daddy, bitch? I am also slightly uncomfortable with taking on an Arabic name simply to seem more exotic and different. You see that copy of Orientalism? It’s making me feel a little embarrassed. It would make more sense for me to plunder my own bloodlines ask my father for my great-great grandmother’s name if I want to go slightly ethnic (Mexican) and then we could also talk about why the hell she sold all of that so-called worthless downtown L.A. property back in the day.

 

Bugs: Kimuchi is right, Sacer is just ripe for mangling. When you get right down to it, the Scarab is a dung beetle. It is sacred because it rolls around spheres of crap in a manner similar to how the male sun god rolls out the sun. They are mighty useful animals…but…dung is dung. I’m earthy, but not THAT fucking earthy. And there are other sacred beetles that appear in Egyptian hieroglyphs, but they don’t make for great names either.” Elaterid…but if that’s hard to pronounce just call me the Clicking Beetle.(insert crazed zill playing)” And as much as being a one-woman plague of Locusts goes…I don’t like to advertise it.

 

So last night I was wondering about other sources for names. Duh, Bug, you read! As a child you often went to Halloween in obscure costumes you made based on minor characters in the Oz series of books. You were Polychrome, the rainbow’s daughter. The Patchwork girl appeared in your early poems…you want to be…

 
What says Mysterious and Otherworldly quite like a princess who has undergone great transformation to be the ruler of a land that exists only in the pages of books and the minds of children?...Ozma.

Feedback appreciated.
