I have not blogged in a while..been too busy trying to keep my life together. Working three jobs, making hula hoops and sewing sure takes up a lot of time. This June seemed more hectic than others. LSJ performed at Cairo Caravan (formerly Cairo Carnivale) It was held at the Queen Mary in Long Beach on June 6 and 7. This years dance production was "Beyond the Sea". It was a wild fantasy with dancing sailor girls, happy, hooping mermaids and fierce Thai goddeses...Indiana Leela and dispicable Lara Croft character who tumbled to her death with loud cheers from the audience. The costumes and props were a challenge but we managed to get them all completed before the show. We managed to turn a giant lazy susan, wood and canvas into a magical mermaid rock and mystical idol shrine. It was fun. Unfortunatley there are no preformance pictures BUT there are after prefromance pics. Some of us decided to stay aboard the Queen Mary for the night. We had a lovely time. I think I looked pretty not bad for an old broad.
Cairo Carnavan now seems to signal to me that summer is one it's way. It is always near the beginning of June just as the weather starts to get wierd..June gloom here, sunny and warm there...So after Cairo I prepare myself by taking on my summer attitidue...longer days, warm nights all make me restless. I feel the need to accomplish something on a greater, more meaningful scale. So I welcome the opportunity to help Leela with Arabia Summer. A new production scheduled for August 23..I get to dance in several numbers and help with the production. I cannot wait.
Other things are churning in my head...only time will tell how they manifest themselves but for now I am content. But just for now!!
