Big Grin First ever documentation of me performing

(Almost, there was this other performance where the only picture I got I look like the evil red-eyed bellydancer from hell)

I just discovered that these pics were up on the internet and I'm relieved. It could have been much worse, hehe.

They are from a show in may, I performed an oriental routine and had a great time.
My final exam was coming up and I had neither slept or eaten ANYTHING at all because of my schoolwork and was close to tears. Then the music was turned on and everything was FINE, all problems GONE, and I was high on adrenaline the rest of the evening.

You look lovely Gisela! What a beautiful costume

(I'm still in deep shock, just seen footage of my first solo and I'm awful, fortunately DVD keeps crashing so I can't torture myself. Cringe.)

DON"T be so hard on yourself .. what you see is NOT what others see .. the more you watch yourself the better you will be in your own eyes ...

Oh thank you all! That's so nice of you. I had a really good feeling after this performance and I'm very happy it shows a little bit in the pics.

No I'm all done and educated now. Not going back to school anymore! Now I'm just going to be unemployed for a little while until I figure out what to work with. Lot's of time to dance

Indeed, there isn't a trace of worries or hunger or sleepiness in those pics, just pure enjoyment and smiles. Mabrouk!
