belly dance

From 40 to 50 years old I was a tribal bellydancer. This was a wonderful time in my life, all the color and noise that is dance...
Now I find myself ready to let my treasured jewelry go on to another dancer...

Dress shoppe whore

Once after 20 years of parenting at home, i got a divorce, and a job!
Finding a job after 20 years was daunting, but i scored one at Chicos, a higher end ladies dress shop.
I was 40 something years old, and called "my girl" by my wonderfully dressed and coiffed ladies.
I called myself a "dress shop whore", as i felt like i would almost do anything to make that goal in sales we were required to present at the end of the month.
I bought these 2 watches, as well as an astounding number of outfits and accessories...
 but that's another story...
