Audience interaction

Between a few dance sets, _meegan_ and I wandered between the tables and chatted up some very interested customers. I had one nice old gent come up behind me and say "Nice tatts."...  of course I said thank you, where upon he asked "Did it hurt to get them?"  I inwardly sigh, but outwardly smile and say the schpiel "have you ever had a deep tissue massage?"  "yes."  "Well that hurts worse than getting a tattoo."  Then I went into that for me, the allergic to pain person, they were more irritating than painful.  More of a discomfort.

Another lady, with some beautiful skin art of her own took one of our pamphlets/business cards.  I told her that tattoos are not a requirement for ATS dancers, but it is quite common to see tattoos on ATS dancers  (and no, I am not referring to a silly embroidery pattern made into a tattoo.) 

All in all, it was a good session, other than the heat.  And humidity.  Almost felt like we had to chew the air.  Our costumes kind of reflected the holiday.  I wore my newly made deep red skirt, white choli and pantaloons, _meegan_ wore her pink choli, with shimmery green and pink pantaloons, and her black tiered skirt with pale yellow and white flowers.  Hey, it was Valentines day, afterall.  :)  And we received lots of compliments about the color arrangement. 

Off to rest a bit before tonights class.As it's the last class of the term, our students have asked us if we would do a short performance at the tail end of the class.  We said okidokey.  :)

heh, when folks ask me "did it hurt?"
I respond with "well, of COURSE, that's the point, isn't it?"

*snrk* You know, I think that my next reply will be of course it hurt, "but I am accustomed to pain. I've been married..... twice."
