Dance?

So, I've tried basically everything I've ever been interested in. I've failed at half of them, excelled at a few of them, and decided the rest weren't for me. Hockey, lacrosse, bagpipes, viola, social work, nude model for art students, percussion, piano, sewing, javelin, sprinting, water polo...like...everything.

Except for one thing: Burlesque.

I've wanted to do burlesque for a few years now. Or pole dancing. Or bellydancing. Any of those, really. There's just something about expressing femininity and learning to be part of a fun group of gals that just draws me in. Not only that, but I can build confidence and some lean muscle while I'm at it. I just think it would be so fun and so healthy for me to be part of something that isn't just me all the time. I'd really love to do this.

So...I'm thinking of sneaking in some lessons since Steve is not ecstatic about the idea. I mean...obviously he likes the benefits he would get and that I would get, but I guess he doesn't want people oggling me. Whatever. I'm a freaking scorpio! I have all this sexual energy and femininity that I can't really express. Not through clothing (because I don't feel comfortable in fitted clothes), not through speech, and not through sex because my husband is "only one man" (or so he keeps saying).

I HAVE CURVES! I have awesome hips and NO one can see them! What a shame it is to let what good features I have waste away before anyone can admire them! It's like hiding a gift! Riiiiight?
