I feel like the luckiest girl in the world.  These are the kind of things I always wanted, my entire life.  I thought only ballerinas or princesses had such things.  My own prom dresses were not even as nice &#8212; Gunne Saxe, remember those? The only thing the magnificence of the cossies compares to is my wedding dress, and how it felt to wear that.  It had been my mom&#8217;s, so of course it was classy and elegant, like her.  But &#8212; perhaps it could have been a little more tarty, like me!   Some bows and whatnot.<\/p>\n<p>I never dreamed that such a world actually existed as Bellydanceville and that I could legitimately wear such things!  I never imagined I would actually think I was good enough to dance like those other women.  But sometimes &#8212; I do.<\/p>\n<p>I feel I must be such a weirdo to you all, but this is one of my favorite things in the entire world:  glittery colorful costumes and the unga-potchke music that goes with it!  It feels like a guilty pleasure, for some reason, which makes it all the sweeter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I know this is boring to everyone, but here I go anyway.
