I've never been happier to cover somebody's shift. A group called Visions in Feminism held a fundraiser last night at the bar I work at (Science Club) to raise money for rehabilitating prostitutes and brought bellydancers, male and female burlesque dancers, a mariachi band and Spanish dancers along to perform. They drew in a massive crowd of intrigued spectators, and we might need to replace the floors because they absolutely tore it up. Needless to say, my service for the business crowd enjoying their 6pm dinners upstairs was under par, as I was in the back room watching the entire performance and taking photos. I was particularly entranced by the belly dancers' ethereality and costuming; I really wish that I could get away with wearing that many bells, sequins and beads on a daily basis. I also tried a new beer called Lindeman's Framboise which is a Belgian raspberry flavored lambic beer. I wouldn't drink too much, as it's extremely sweet, but sipping on it while I watched a male burlesque dancer strip down to his lamé leotard was utterly refreshing.
