Awesome skirts I have in my head, for about two weeks now. Today, come hell, or high water, I will cut them out . This afternoon sew one, tomorrow the other. I’ve got this killer idea for a skirt using industrial zippers.
I’m also about to cave and buy, don’t laugh, a Bedazzler. Why? I like studs and I found a place online that sells butt-loads of studs for the darn thing for cheap. I want studded belts and handbags, using the leather I’m about to purchase. End pieces from a company in bright colors. I can’t wait to make purses out of them. CANNOT WAIT!!! I also have the coolest fake snakeskin from JoAnne’s of all places. I am cutting it into a belt, something else and a purse today. It needs studs. It also needs a lining, but I’ve got that covered. Nothing fancy, no pockets on the inside, just color and fun. This thing has a shimmer to it and is croc embossed. All the fun, without killing a croc. Of course, the croc can kill back, making it a sort of, “Bambi with a Gun.” I think it’s wonderfully ironic.
Still, I will wear somehow leather, but getting away from it more and more as really good substitutes become available. I like the idea of synthetics, although they use oil. I have a lot of bamboo and organic cotton in my stash now. Gentle on the earth, just share with the Pandas.
It’s Dance, Dance Thursday! I don’t care how old you are, how impaired you are (you can move something), how tired you are, or how little time you have. Turn on something that makes you bop your head and bop your body. Do some dances from the sixties! The swim, the monkey, the mashed potato, the twist. Good God! I’m starting to sound like the Wiggles, except if you have a toddler, you can dance to them, they have a good beat. Hey, Monkees! They were great. Pink, Brit-Brit, not her ex, Kanye, if you want new stuff, Beyonce, Rhianna (Umbrella is great for ab work), Bollywood!!! If you don’t really know what it looks like, “Monsoon Wedding,” (Great movie), or any Hidi Bollywood movie will take you there. Can’t speak Hindi? You don’t have to. The plot is always clear. Good girl does bad thing and dies, very good girl does not do bad thing and lives. They’re all morality plays and easy to follow. I love them and I’ve never once had them translated. They don’t need to be.
What about belly-dance? You don’t bellydance? Then, shake your booty and play with your hips. Relax those knees. Nothing should be too tight, just groove. Ten minutes, fifteen, whatever. No videos to follow, just dance like you did when you were a kid. Ooooo! Latin! Salsa, Cha-cha, Samba, Mambo. Don’t know how? Okay, I’ll let you get a video for those. Netflix has tons of them and I can and will make suggestions later today, or tomorrow. Tomorrow is, Fitness Friday, but there’s room for fun in every day and this is fun, along with great cardio.
Remember, get your docs permission if you have any conditions. You can dance in a wheelchair, in bed, you can blink your eyes. Everyone can do something. No excuses, just try a little. Arms only, if you’re diabetic with sores on your legs, or docs permission. Have fun and stay young! Well, young at heart, anyway.
