Rose's Ramblings

I am an enigma wrapped in an oxymoron. I never claim to make any sort of sense; logic isn't normally in my vocabulary. I am a belly dancer, woman, lover, Submissive and Mistress all wrapped into one short little package. And I'm pretty damned happy with my life. Don't like what I post?? Don't follow me.

All Belly Dancers Are GODDESSES!!!

I saw two posts earlier in the #belly dance tag that had me fuming.  One user asking if there were other “fat” belly dancers out there because she was the “only fat one in her class” as well as a post before THAT regarding to one of the local dance studios performing at Camelot Days last year, tagged it as #belly dance and #fat….

REALLY!?

WE ARE ALL GODDESSES!! 

And IMHO, it’s better to have some meat on the bones so that shimmies are more apparent, be it in the tummy, hips/ass or up top.  My FAVORITE dance teacher carries some extra weight, and when she does undulations and belly rolls… it’s amazing to watch because EVERYTHING moves and its beautiful…  Harder to see a perfect belly roll on a dancer that’s barely 100 lbs ringing wet.

I’m not saying that skinny girls cant be belly dancers, because belly dance is one of the only dances that embrace women (and men) of all shapes and sizes, creed, religion and race. But what is sad that those with some extra flesh wont be requested for gigs, because they want the pretty twigs of girls to entertain their guests… While i know that’s not always the case (i have a friend in central Florida that’s not skinny and dances at a restaurant from time to time), its what most restaurants want, and unfortunatly they’ll more than likely get the skinny girls who call belly dancing shaking their tits and ass around with a bra/belt set and a chiffon skirt/veil set bought off of missbellydance.com (great site btw).

Now i am by no means what one would call a “skinny” girl.  My BF calls me a natural woman, and it feels good.  I have extra jiggle in my middle, and my ass vibrates BEAUTIFULLY when i shimmy thank you VERY much, and my chest is proportionate to the rest of my body.  Do i like my body all the time?  Hell no, but it’s okay, we all have our bouts of insecurity. 

But when I dance i am transported.  I am beautiful, I am woman, I am a dancer,

I AM A GODDESS!!

An I issue a hearty “fuck you” to anyone who says that my natural curves make me fat, that my belly isnt beautiful, that my ass is too big, and that my chest is too small.

We’re all goddesses, be we belly dancers.. or not.
