The Giraffe Neck is my extended family's pet name for a feature several of us inherited from the same branch on the family tree :inlove:. Has been for several generations. Maybe we should start saying "swan neck" instead :play: ? The photo had been cropped and the original shows more people for...

Book Running or walking an old dog?

My partner's wife (who doesn't dance herself) does my dresses and hair etc. She thinks just removing the bottom ruffle would be enough for tango. We'll try just pinning it up and see how it moves. If it's too perky like a bird flicking its tail feathers, we'll pass on it, but if it still...

Blush. The bones (and the giraffe neck) are courtesy of the grandmother who bequeathed them to me. She was a model, but I got my height from the other grandmother. The posture is from a lifetime of ballet and figure skating, and having earned my way through university doing petite modelling for...

The red lipstick looked right for the occasion and the lighting, but with dark hair and eyes and very pale skin with no natural colour in my cheeks, in daylight, in everyday life, I look like a vampire :vamp:.

I was thinking tango and/or rumba, and a shorter dress for the faster dances like samba, etc. Can't afford a wardrobe of a different dress for each dance, alas. I have a pretty pale blue sparkly one for waltz and foxtrot, and was thinking of this one for the slower, dramatic dances. I wore it...

The photo was just a quick snapshot, but thanks to the beautiful lobby and its lighting it came out well. My teacher liked the picture so much he has it up on the wall of the studio.

Being in Canada, I only do standard dances. There was talk here about red dresses being the ones that stand out. This is a dress I borrowed for a recent competition for the standard Latin dances and I'm wavering about whether to buy it to keep. Is this red enough? And do I need to have that...

Regret

If I had a vintage bedframe I really loved, and maybe other furniture of a similar vintage to show off, I'd certainly be looking into a custom-made mattress et al. Or is it even possible to find someone who could alter a readymade one? Trimming several inches off the end and then covering that...

cyrene (the chemical, not the place or the game character)

Since I keep my own nails very short for several reasons, I was interested in these "no damage" ones for ballroom. I followed the link, which redirected me to amazon.ca, where it described them as Medium size. There didn't seem to be a choice of sizes. I'm a small person and I have hands with...

I've spent a large part of my life on stage and have had people applying various styles of stage makeup on me since I was kindergarten age. I had a grandmother who kindly bequeathed me, genetically, a "ballerina face" -- dark hair, very pale skin, and large dark eyes that can be seen from a...

And in two days we'll have to suffer through the Sennth of June. But cheer up, at least the months of Janry and Febyooary are over for another year!
