{the Battle} for Power

Our Haflaween performance this year. This was so much fun!

Haflaween Horrors 2010

Another year, Haflaween has come and gone. I am sad now that Halloween is officially over. It is always my second favorite time of year. Haflaween has got to be my most favorite show each year. The whole week prior I was so excited, I could hardly stand it. This year for the first time, I got my husband to actually 'perform' a skit with me. I danced to a song I did 2 years ago, "Requiem for a Tower", but it was a different remixed version. I had a costume designed by Paul of Organic Armor. A designer out in Asheville, NC. He did an awesome job! Andrew and I spent a couple hours the week of the Halloween practicing, and after many fits of laughter, we got serious and were able to pull off a great battle scene. It was a lot of fun! Thanks to Mara for taking some photos!

Haflaween '09

This was a blast! It was my favorite one yet! I think the Halloween shows are my favorite ones of the year. The bigger venue let many more people attend and the atmosphere was so energetic! Their was live music by the Lost Nomads, tons of food and drinks, and beautiful costuming for sale.

I made the skirt, bra top, and headpiece.

A wonderful dancer, Hayat al Hakim, came up from Fayetteville to do my makeup for this performance. She did a wonderful job!!

HAFLAween 2007

Blue Moon Bellydance sponsors an event every year called Haflaween. This was my first year performing in it. All the dancers and musicians were great. I had some problems getting my costume together...my vampire teeth kept falling out and my cool eyelashes wouldn't stay on...so I didn't look like much but a gothic looking bellydancer. LOL.

I went on at the very end. The performance went well. Then after the show we stayed and danced until late. We got home after midnight!

It was a blast and I look forward to dancing at next years show!!
