 For 14 years of weekly lessons, Musette hunched over the keyboard of the little Brambach while Mr. Moto DeSoto screamed, "No, no, NO!! Staccato! Staccato! STACCATO!!" Every night she cried herself to sleep, whimpering into her pillow, "It sounds good at home".

Here's a pix of my latest - with my piano to keep it on topic. My tuner has my action until next Wednesday, so no piano playing for this boy!

Zorba, WOW! You even have toenails to match the costume. Jim "I've had toenails that matched my motorcycle" B.  | |||

Wow! That's pretty spectacular. Do those wings melt when you get too close to the sun, though? Can you imagine if we had a gigantic WTF party showcasing everyone's talents. We could have OT singing (and leading the choir  ), Zorba dancing, an art exhibit of Kenny's, Jodi's and Apple's paintings, Mary Anna doing a reading from her latest book, the Duo Scarbo performing, Steve Miller doing a This-Old-House presentation and of course lots of ad libbing.

But of course - what kind of a Belly Dancer would I be if my toenails didn't match? HA!  Kathyk - my dance sisters say that I have "the whole Sun God thing going on" with this cossie.

Zorba, how do people react to your toenails when your in civies? | |||
|
| "The Veiled Male" Gadfly |
They're usually not visible when I'm in civvies! But, considering that I have long hair, wear outrageous earrings (one in each ear), have a full beard, and most importantly, wear a "skirted garment" of one sort or another (Usually, but not always, the famous "Utilikilt") - the last thing anyone would notice or care about would be my toenails!

I've got a couple of friends who wear Utilikilts all the time and love them. I've been thinking about it, but have yet to step up to the plate - they're pricy. I would think a group of performers would have a pretty high acceptance level, but even the gay guys at the opera were astonished at my cobalt blue toenails. I used the acrylic touchup paint from my motorcycle since I couldn't find a suitable color in nail polish. | |||

Unfortunately, UtiliKilts no longer makes their original design, the "Standard". I have five of them. I wouldn't be caught dead in their current design - I don't like the flat front pseudo-Scottish look. So I'm having a seamstress make a couple of "similar" knockoffs. If guys knew how comfortable a skirt of any kind is, they'd abandon pants for good (except for situations involving a lot of crawling, dirt, etc.). As for toenail acceptance, etc. - the most fanatically militant enforcers of the male status quo are (some) gays. Go figure. Why were you wearing Cobalt blue? I know it was to go with your bike, but I'm curious.

I dunno. The Workman's model looks pretty functional.   Is this the type you like, Zorba?

My wife persuaded me to try it and see if I lked it. While I thought it was novel, and got a perverse kick out of watching people's reactions, I'm not much inot adornment so I didn't keep it up. PS. Nobody, and I mean nobody, makes a cobalt blue polish. | |||
|
| "The Veiled Male" Gadfly |
Nope, that is their current style, the "Neo-Trad". I like their original style, no longer produced:  Pleated all around, is NOT a wrap skirt. Has a zipper. Very similar to the Greek Foustanella. Cobalt blue polish? Go to this page: http://www.doubleveil.net/piano/pianod.htm And scroll down about half way where I have my foot braced against my piano action that I'm working on. Is that blue enough?
