...that's the name of a new belly dance magazine recently launched out of Sedona, Az by publisher and belly dancer Holly Luky. Sometimes premier issues can be a bit rough around the edges, but this particular magazine is delightfully well polished.
The first thing I read was an excerpt from The Belly Dancer, a new novel from writer DeAnna Cameron. A second excerpt will be in the next issue. To say "I can't wait!" wouldn't be true because I'm going to go out and buy the book for myself before then.
This first issue has 13 well written, witty, informative, and useful articles.
I put Tip #3 from "Top 10 Tips For Living The Good Life" to use right away. This particular tip has to do with a 10 minute fitness routine of your own making that can be especially refreshing after a long stint at a computer.
Just to tease you I'll give you the titles of 3 more articles.
"Cairo-Mother of the World" by Robert G. Bauval
"Belly Dancing For Pregnancy And Birth" by Carinne L. Casazza
"Tribal Style 101", by Hilary Gioval
Some of the regular features of the magazine are "Transformational Astrology" and "Wise Woman Corner."
I like playful, intimate, informal format of the "Question & Answer" interview with belly dancer extraordinaire and cover girl Ava Fleming. I'll leave with with another teaser in the form of two of her answers.
"Desert. (I'll take desert over dinner any day.)"
"Muuhahahahahaa! If I told you that I wouldn't be mysterious, now would I?"
Now, in the spirit of belly dance, shimmy on over to the magazine's website to learn more.
Cool! I saw subscription cards for this at the studio tonight and was wondering if it was good. I might have to subscribe :) Where did you pick up this issue? I wonder if B&N will have it...
ReplyDeleteI heard about the mag from Ava & I subscribed to it off of their website. B&N or Borders might have it. Even if they don't the trip is always worth it.
