It is, like Su I just sat staring at it when I had it on my nails xD

So that is why nail Polish is not allowed in our schools

Quite possibly.

So many pretty nails! I have no patience for doing anything more complicated than a French tip or polkadots. Suo, you have some major talent. Maxi, I NEED that nail polish, haha. Jelly, that blue looks GREAT on your hands!

Steel that wasn't my photo! XD I just wanted to show
the nail polish. But yeah I like it a lot.

So the performance went GREAT! I didn't pop out of my costume, even though it looked like I was going to. Haha.
Here is the picture I took before the performance:

It's blurry because I suuuck at selfies.

Haha, yeah there's some boobage going on there >< So glad it went well, and the top (just about) fitted! Is the belly dancing helping with your weight/fitness levels, can you tell? I'd have thought that would be good for strengthening your core and all that. Like Zumba but not as intense!

Belly dancing does sometimes seem to help to get a flatter belly But I tried belly dancing for a day and my thighs they were dead the next day it sure is not easy as it sometimes seems >.< so I gave up

Shows it does some good if it makes you ache! You should try it again, Lexie, it'll do you good if you can stick with it and get past the newbie pain.

Some late conversation stuff.

But I guess that isn't important.

I moved to america when I was 3 and my parents got divorced soon after,
so I pretty much lived a full american lifestyle. I forgot how to speak Tagalog
fluently even though it was my first language. But one thing I remember is the food...
Ohhhh the food. I miss it.

Ooh. Hey at least you knew it at some point! There was no one really for my mom to speak Tagalog to, so, I didn't learn it.
Mmm the food. I'm still pretty Americanized though so some of the food can . But lumpia and pancit and...

But you're totally right. It's WAAAY easier to dye my hair. No bleaching required, even as dark as my hair has gotten.

Darn you light-haired-ones!


Guess I'm glad we at least have bleach in these days!

I finally took a picture of my face + hair so ~


Did a bit of fooling around with editing though. But that color is about right for the hair. For some reason my phone really wanted my hair to be this bright electric blue. Which would also be awesome, but I'm going for what my hair actually looks like, phone! Get with the program.

I saw some nails stuff. Something with moon or... ?? That looked neat!
And Suo's awesome nail painting skills. Dayum, gurl.

And I see talk of belly dancing. I'd like to try that. I'm a total weakling though. I'd basically like to do anything that makes me more flexible and stronger, but lazy wins out.

Hmm... Maybe I should show my face here in Mene...

So Mene, this is me... Back in 1989.

Aw, what a cutie! Hehe, maybe we need a thread for baby pics. :D

A thread for baby pics is most definitely needed! Just imagine all those pictures of little babies or even cute children, that would brighten anyone's day!

Want to make one? =3

Jelly: Haha, yeaaaah. I'm pretty sure no top is ever gonna fully cover the boobies. But hey, the arms fit and I could move! Huzzah! And bellydance has WAY helped with the fitness and health side of things. It works just about every muscled in your body. Lexa is right though, thighs get it like crazy. Core does too, but I actually have a pretty strong core left from ballet under all that fat, so I don't notice it as much.

Lexa: Awww, you should keep doing it! It's so much fun! And those muscles eventually get more used to things. It is harder than it looks though. Shimmies are brutal.

Ikuto: Aaah, you're so pretty! I used to really want black hair when I was little. But then I realized that it would look just awful with my skin tone. And you should try belly dancing, I'm sure you'd look beautiful doing it. It is a lot of strength training, but it's way more fun than using weights or anything at the gym.

D'aww Sestina was a cutie!

Eep! >.< Ok, I'll make a thread for baby pics.

@steelmagghia Thank you!

Ikuto Akihiko Hasegawa: Wow, you're gorgeous! You look so elegant! @w@

jellysundae: Pole dancing is also a really good way to get in shape.
I tried it out for about a month or so and I was aching in places I didn't know could ache. XD
To be clear, I was taking lessons. I didn't have a job as a stripper for a month. XD
But wow to anyone who pole dances well. That takes mad skills.

Maxi, you're so right. My belly dance instructor also teaches pole dance and sweet goodness that's crazy. I'm interested, but I don't want to do it until I lose some weight. It's a lot easier to haul 200 pounds up a pole than 300 pounds.

Wicked, you look suitably homicidal in that picture. :D

@steel thank you very much =)

@wickedwonderland Nice cosplay! American McGee's Alice version is definitely cooler and more haunting.

@Sestina I completely agree

Woah Wonderland, that's an intimidating picture! Do you do that cosplay often? Much have been so much fun ><

Mags! I'm expecting pole dancing videos from you once you can take that up!

Maxi, pole dancing done to look balletic rather than sexy is totally amazing. Let's face it, it's a hard gymnastic sport, I applaud anyone who can do it with skill.

Thank you! Yeah, that's another thing to keep in mind with hair color. Some of them might just not look so great with whatever skin tone you've got. Still want to do all super white one day though!
I should! Any media you recommend? Doubtful there would be a class around here.
I get bored really quickly with working out so I either have to keep trying different things or just not do anything.

Pole dancing is another one I wouldn't mind giving a shot. Talk about strength though!

Yeah, I really don't look good with very dark hair. I've come to accept this. :)
Here is a pretty good site for home study: How to Belly Dance
You may google possible studios, though. It's possible you have one in your area. I mean, I'm in the middle of the bible belt in the US in a smallish city and we have one, so, it's possible.
