Speaking of Belly's

Why do people feel they can touch your belly when you're pregnant? They just ooh and aah over that wonderful protrusion as if it's a cute little kitten they can pet and rub. It's like a magnet in a world full of over exuberant and well-meaning (I guess) baby lovers. I picture a crowd of zombies, arms outstretched, eyes dead, moaning grotesquely, coming toward my pregnant stomach. (Oh, God, I watch way too many movies!) Even total strangers can't stop themselves from touching it. I suppose some don't mind, I actually didn't mind when I was pregnant unless it would have been some letch that had "I'm a Pedophile and proud of it" on the back of his shirt.
Your body is your personal space and shouldn't be touched by others unless it's verbally authorized by you. If you don't want someone to do that, you have every right to smack their hands away. If people do the polite thing and ask...well, I guess it's Ok, just this once...

Wish My Belly Could Dance Like That

Have you ever watched a belly dancer? The movements that she creates is hypnotic. Her arms glide sensually, her hips sway delicately. Her barefeet glide along the floor like she's floating. The costume that she wears is bright and colorful, decorated with sequins, beads and gems. She wears a headband covered in rhinestones and her long dark hair flows onto her back. Her movements are like a snake charmer, mezmorising, sexy and every muscle in her body is moving, teasing, taunting, filling everyone's mind with thoughts of sex. She wears bangles on her arms, around her ankles and around her neck. Her belly, of course that's the most important part, isn't it? Her belly is quivering, shimmy'ing with quick jerks and thrusts with every beat of the music. The performance is one of the best. The audience roared. Please find a belly dance performance in your area. You won't regret it.
