Description
I'm 8 months pregnant here with my daughter. This photo was taken by a friend of mine [link] and retouched by me.Originally, I posted only a few photos from this pregnancy series, but now I'm going back and picking a few other favorites. I hope you don't mind.
Another with the infamous veil.
I love the stretched out look to this one, as though I'm just walking along this long, empty hallway, just communing with my daughter.

I think this picture makes pregnancy look powerful and something women should be very proud of. I like it a lot.

that's such a sweet thing for you to do, make art out of pregnancy (which is art itself!)
Soft, feminine and warm-hearted. Congratulations on the baby!!

Oh, thank you! I'm so glad we did all these photos. My daughter is two now, and being pregnant with her seems so very far away, but these photos make it closer somehow.

Love the veil, and the serene feeling from the image. I too like the stretch of the veil over the belly.
You're a bellydancer? No way! Me too! :W0ot:

Thank you!
I bellydanced for seven years or more, but stopped late in my pregnancy and haven't really started up again. I feel a little burned out on bellydancing, and hope to explore African dance!

African dance is awesome! Where are you again?
Jenaba, once of Domba!, is based in Michigan (I believe) and she is simply SUPERB! I took a workshop with her and I've been eager to get more of African dance ever since. She's a non-stop riot, and I don't know what she drinks in the morning, but she has more energy than anyone I know. I believe she has a troupe in MI.

I'm in Austin, TX. There's a dance studio close to my house that offers classes. I just need to get off my rear and check them out! I wish I could take from Jenaba. Maybe she'll come through and give a workshop sometime.

Not sure how you'll take this from a slightly freakish writer, but...
I'd say that both the photography and the subject go perfectly together in this picture.

I think I'll take it as you intended, with kindness of spirit and good intentions.
Thank you for your lovely comment.

P.S.- Not to mention the SHAPES and COLOURS! *le siiigh

Where DID you get that sash? It's brilliant!

It's a silk veil I use sometimes when bellydancing! I bought it locally, although you can find them online, too!

I've always wanted to try bellydancing. It's on my list next to "learn Russian."
π: 0 β©: 1
LOL! I think bellydancing is more likely!
I have a list. Mine has "learn Italian" on it.

You have a list too? And I thought i was the only list crazy one on the block. 
π: 0 β©: 1
I have a "book stack" that coexists with a list I've had since high school....no movie list or song list....I love lists. I love scratching things off of them!
π: 0 β©: 1
Incidentally my book stack and my book list don't...exactly...mesh right now. I'm working on it. lol Oh and I love that after I write a list I don't have to think about it anymore...it's like a sieve.

A memoir type book called "We Thought You Would Be Prettier".
Althought there's a BIG chance I may put it down in favor of the new Gregory Maguire book, the SEQUEL TO "WICKED"!!! It's called "Son of a Witch" and I just got it yesterday, a gift from my dad.
Of course, now I think I need to read "Wicked" again.
What about you?
π: 0 β©: 1
"We Thought You Would Be Prettier" - sounds like a memoir I would prolly read.
Teehee. All of those Greg Maguire books are on my reading list! What a fabulous gift from Dad!
Well, I just finished a fantastic one - "Pigs in Heaven" by Barbara Kingsolver. And "Helter Skelter", the story of the Manson debacle told by his opposing lawyer - very enlightening. Right now I'm reading a couple - Anne Rice's "Sleeping Beauty Trilogy" and "Don't Know Much About the Bible"(which makes some good points but is kind of preachy and cloying). I plan on starting a third here soon, but I haven't chosen one yet. Any recommendations?

I'm gong to cheat and paste in the book description from Amazon....
She thought sheβd have more time. Laurie Notaro figured she had at least a few good years left. But noβitβs happened. She has officially lost her marbles. From the kid at the pet-food store checkout line whose coif is so bizarre it makes her seethe βIβm going to kick his hairβs ass!β to the hapless Sears customer-service rep on the receiving end of her Campaign of Terror, no one is safe from Laurieβs wrath. Her cranky side seems to have eaten the rest of herβinner-thigh Chub Rub and all. And the results are breathtaking.
Her riffs on e-mail spam (βWith all of these irresistible offers served up to me on a plate, I WANT A PENIS NOW!!β
Basically, it's a lot of essays on her life and experiencing. Like Erma Bombeck, only updated (and not about her kids).....very, very funny in parts....
I haven't started reading my new Maguire books....I've read all of his, though, and "Wicked" is by far the best...I'll let you know what I think of the new one!
I haven't read any of the books you're reading/just finished. I MAY have read the "Sleeping Beauty Trilogy"...is it older? If so, then I probably have. There was a time when I read ALL of Anne Rice's books, but haven't in years.
I'll think about what you should read next!!

Not Erma Bombeck..what, no septic tanks?
"Sleeping Beauty Trilogy" is definitely older - I think it was released in the...80s? Under a pseudonym - A.N. Roquelaure. I'm actually not a huge Anne Rice fan(yet)though I started the Mayfair Witches series, which is pretty fabulous.
I had to choose something to read last night(tho I'm definitely still open to suggestions), so I closed my eyes and dug through my closet. lol I emerged with "The Vanished Man" by Jeffery Deaver. I love most everything he writes, though I especially love his Lincoln Rhyme series. I've been hooked since "Bone Collector." Ever read the book or see the movie? Both were surprisingly good.

Ah, yes, definitely read the Sleeping Beauty Trilogy. I own it under the pseudonym. For a time, I was collecting all signed, first edition copies of her work. The Vampire series is still her best - back when she had a good editor.
I did see Bone Collector, it was creepy! Never read the book, though. I'll have to!
