On becoming a dinosaur

Image
  While working on assembling a photo carousel to advertise my latest harem pants project, I needed to search the internet for an app or software to create mp4s. Also, recently, in order to update my old bellydancermarta.com site, I needed to take a course in HTML5 because the last time I worked on the site was in HTML3 and a LOT of things have changed. In the 8 years I worked for the State of California, I did not keep up my skills in web development. I thought I could just go back and pick up where I left off when I retired. LOL What an optimist. I have realized that I am becoming a dinosaur. I started reflecting on where my work is now. My book (Anmutig und fit durch Bauchtanz) is now sold second-hand on eBay and referred to as 'vintage.' And it is available on vintage book sites. Several of my costumes are also being sold second-hand on eBay and elsewhere and referred to as 'vintage.' My original website is definitely vintage, though I refer to it as historical. :) ...

As I was setting up this blog, the profile was asking me for my profession. Then I thought about all the different types of jobs I have held and thought it would be fun to make a list of them.

Some of these overlapped. It's a long story. ;) I'm not sure, but I think this photo is from Heilbronn. Most likely in the kitchen behind the nightclub. I danced there at a place run by...

American Fiction - see the movie!

Image
Yesterday I saw the film American Fiction. Great film, great actors, and a message we need to hear, repeatedly. When we got home, I looked up the song Stagger Lee from Lloyd Price from 1959, which in turn made me look up the story behind the song. First the song. Here is a link to the original version that I remember as a kid: But while searching, I discovered that Dick Clark thought the lyrics were too violent for his American Bandstand show and had Price rewrite them to tone it down for performance on the show, with a happy ending.  History of Stagger Lee 1950 – 1960 . Here are the original lyrics: The night was clear And the moon was yellow And the leaves came tumbling down I was standing on the corner When I heard my bulldog bark He was barking at the two men Who were gambling in the dark It was Stagger Lee and Billy Two men who gambled late Stagger Lee threw seven Billy swore that he threw eight Stagger Lee told Billy “I can’t let you go with that You have won all my money And...
