Boobies

In lesson 2 of belly dancing, we learned the head slide, the shoulder shake, the shoulder roll, the chest circle and the camel and reverse camel.

For all chest moves, you basically lead with your boobs. It was an amusing experience, but it was also kind of touching. One woman, in a moment of frustration, said that she'd spent the last 57 years learning how NOT to draw attention to her breasts and she wasn't sure she could unlearn that.

It really drove home just how much women are taught to be ashamed of their bodies.

I am going to be really glad that I took this class, I think.

Well, glad and sore as hell. Thankfully, I stole obtained some 600 mg Ibuprofen. I'm pretty sure I'm going to need it.
