Apologies for My Absence.. Let's Dance!

I am so sorry that have neglected my blog for so long. I have been incredibly busy with my belly dance schedule. We had a very important gig where we were the featured dancers for the evening. No pressure right?  I always say to myself that I'm going to take pictures after I'm done putting my makeup on to share with you guys. Somehow I go from being ahead of schedule to "OMG I should have left five minutes ago!!"  At the end of the night I think I'm still presentable to the general public but not beauty bloggers.  I'll just have to redo my makeup on a non performance day and share with ya'll.  I used Makeup Geek's Sexy Christmas Makeup as my inspiration for this performance. I did make it a little bit more sparkly and smokey. I also added full dramatic lashes but we're talking about performance here not drinks with the girls.

I've been working on this dance for a very long time. It's very complicated and this is my first performance playing zills! I wore my new costume which I didn't get any pictures of either. I just don't think of these things when I'm in the zone.

These look best if you can view them in HD. The lighting is not the easiest to work with. Dancing in a restaurant/lounge presents all sorts of challenges like the smoldering hookah just out of frame right next to where I'm doing veil . Fun!

This next one is a short and sassy drum solo with the girls.It's so much fun to dance with my ladies.

I don't have any performances in the immediate future so I'll try to get some makeup posts done soon.
