Glitter vs Hardware

This, is actually going to be a bit personal.. No sage advice, no bits of insight..  Nope, this is just me.
Some of you may have seen me recently wearing a cabaret style costume.  It's purple, gorgeous, fits well.
But, it also feels very strange and foreign to me. In many ways, it's just not my style.

Now, I'll stop some of the arguments right away. I will not, in any way, state that it is anything other than  beautiful costume, nor will I argue that it looks good on me.   Truth is, it's gorgeous and looks gorgeous on.

But, I am far more comfortable as a dancer in my "normal" costumes.

Truth told, it's hard for me to stand behind my statement that "Boxes are for dancing ON. Boxes are NOT for dancing IN" 
That is part of the reason you have seen me recently in this particular kind of costume.  It's to shove me out of my comfort zone. 

I can say that I have done it.. I've tried it, but, I would like my dance pants, t-shirt bra and fender washer belt back...  please!!

Presently, I feel like a drag queen in this style of costume still.  I am not going to say that you won't see me in something like this again..  Maybe you will.  But, perhaps it will be something of my own design, with my own punk/rebel edge to it.  (there are a few in the works that would fit MY comfort level, but still have that glamorous kind of look).

But, for now, it is time to return me to my regular scheduled dance wear.   The kind I can sit on the floor in and not have a care if I pull a string....  at least that string doesn't have THOUSANDS of glass beads attached.
We will see what the future holds...

I am likely going to get into my box and see what other kinds of toys I can throw out onto the floor.  We all know that will be interesting.  But, I am not getting in that box to stay.

Oh...  if you really want to know why I am addicted to dance pants....

It's because it feels like I am dancing in my jammies!
