awwwww  :-[ :-[ :-[
*g_l blushes furiously here*

thank you for your kind words BB which I really don't deserve.
I guess what this really means is that I gabble away my time in here! ;D
Ummm I wonder whether now that I've reached diamond could I possibly go back to being a humble entry-level gorgeous-coloured amethyst? ;D

Thank you Galadriel that sounds soooo appropriate!

Sakina I'm waiting for you to come over so I can show you our local Applebee's for the celebration! We do have TGIFriday's and Ruby's Tuesday too  :D

'Twas indeed the thrust.  :D I had started with the "rejoicing", then figured we might as well have a true affair. Plus, I'd recently re-watched Ladyhawke, so the "music happily played", I ripped off from Phillipe. However, I meant every word.  :)

Me too!  Don't you think Matthew Broderick would have looked much better sporting long hair though?  His short hair looked out of place in a fantasy setting.  But yes, excellent movie!

Sorry!  Didn't mean to go off-topic.  NR made us do it, that sneaky rogue!  :-)

Getting back to Greek_Lady (and movies, while we're at it) G_L - have you seen "My Big Fat Greek Wedding"?  It's a hilarious movie.  The dad has an accent, and he says "greek" alot but it comes out as "grrik" so everytime I see your name I hear in my head "grrrik_lady".  :-)

Now you're talking!!  :D And the more we are, the merrier, right? There's two of us to celebrate.
Can I pick the athletes?  8) I'd like them to be the water-polo type (THE bodies ya know) and I would like some ru(a?)gby players too! We don't have rugby here, but from what I've seen you grow'em tall and strong and wild over there  ;D
Do you think we could have our very own LL belly-dancer and our resident rogue?  ;D
And most important of all, what about [glb]chocolate?[/glb]

Now on to the bellydancer (hey Sakina, ya hear?) and the other small matters of water-polo players and chocolate  ;D
NR what you say is so ab-so-lutely true!
chocolate....
<sigh>

Post by Sakina on Aug 1st, 2005 at 2:56am
I'm in!!  I've got a new bra & belt set that's black and silver-covered in sequins and beads.  I'd love to wear it for the first time to celebrate w/ G_L and the gang!  I'll even play my zills-as best I can anyway!  Maybe I can teach you all to zagarite (spelling?).  ((Look it up  ::) ))

I vote for dark chocolate-Vhalrona in particular  ;D

How 'bout a martini bar?  I make a mean lemon drop martini  ;)

OK, I looked it up and the proper spelling is zaghareet.  I tried to find some instructions but couldn't.  I've got no idea how to tell someone how to zaghareet-just know that its a joyous sound showing happiness.

Title: Re: Greek_Lady's a Diamond!
Post by greek_lady on Aug 1st, 2005 at 5:39am
Yes yes Vahlrona chocolate! Oh gee that's even as good as... as.... hey Anais come up with one of your lovely metaphors! ANY chocolate is awesome. And I'd love to taste some of the US chocolate you brought bb  ;D What would life be without chocolate, I'm asking ya?

Sakina, your new costume sounds intriguing and awesome! Wow! and that sound you want to teach us how to make, is what? maybe you mean the sound the Berber ladies make, out in the Sahara desert, that special sound they do with their tongues? I can't find the word in English

Gabi where's the bicycle races taking place? Let's go per... errr see  ;D  

BB I'm taking good care to have a plentiful and variable supply of water-polo and rugby players for all tastes. No need to rush, there's plenty for all. And if some are left over we can always make them our hair minions, huh?


NR you aren't making any special requests at all? I wonder what we could provide you with that would make your attendance to our party worthwhile...
Maybe a very select few hand-maidens to be your hair minions?? Maybe one of Sakina's mean lemon drop martinis? what?

Title: Re: Greek_Lady's a Diamond!
Post by Sakina on Aug 1st, 2005 at 5:47am
G_L, I think it is the sound the ladies of the desert make.  I think zaghareet is an Arabic word.

Fun!!!

Speaking of bicycles, I now have Queen's bicycle song in my head!!!

Title: Re: Greek_Lady's a Diamond!
Post by greek_lady on Aug 1st, 2005 at 5:51am
Yes Sakina, yes that's it! I didn't know what word you use in English to describe that (obviously the arabic term hahaha)
They do it with their tongues hitting the palate in extremely rapid sequence and it carries far, far into the silence of the desert...
Oh what sounds and images that conjures!  :D :D

Oh Geez!  Sounds like this will go better after a few margarittas.  Hmmm, can you slur a zaghi  ;D...

Sakina?  Are you gonna wear the X-mas socks with that outfit *ducking and running like da dickens*...g

Title: Re: Greek_Lady's a Diamond!
Post by Sakina on Aug 1st, 2005 at 12:46pm
Gabi, LOL I gave the socks as gifts so I don't have any for myself.  I'd probably wear some silver ankle bracelets w/ or w/o jinglies!

Post by greek_lady on Aug 1st, 2005 at 3:12pm
Hey wishing4longhair everyone is welcome to the party and each and every contribution kindly appreciated.
Besides, I think you know Vanessa Mae? and maybe Ed Alleyne Johnson? If your violin is anything like theirs' (I mean the style you play and the kind of music) I am awed and I loooove it!  :o :D

Sakina I would love to hear the jinglies!!! yeap I prefer them to the xmas socks  :P ::)

gabi I'd love a margherita right now, all salty and sour and limey and cool ice and oh-so-summery.
errrr I *do* hope you can tell salt from sugar  ::) ::)

No. sadly enough, I was taught the "traditional classical way" of playing the violin. So, if Beethoven is what you want, I can produce. Otherwise, I can't help ya.  :(
I would like to learn how to play the fiddle. That would be much more fun!!

Silly, Greek Lady, being invited to attend with all the lovely lasses leaves me with no requests at all. If this poor, poor rogue might simply enjoy your company, comb or brush your tresses, then he may leave this world with his wishes fulfilled.

Although, I shall, if it pleases, to indulge in the chocolate and adult beverages. ;D

<<Running away and averting my eyes with exclamations of "I'm not worthy>>
Sorry, had a Python moment.

ETA: I did think of something. Perhaps with some quiet violin music in the background, while everyone takes their repast, I could indulge all in a story or two. A tale of fun, frolic, adventure and danger. A story full of monsters, heroes, and daring-do. Sort of like detangling free hair after a ride in a convertible!!!  <WG>

Title: Re: Greek_Lady's a Diamond!
Post by Sakina on Aug 3rd, 2005 at 2:26am
Although I'm already signed up to bellydance, should this shindig last into many days and nights (one can only hope) I will offer my talents (limited as they are) on the acoustic guitar and perhaps even a vocalization or two.  Classical (art songs, arias) and jazz are the styles I favor, but maybe we can all sing some carols.  I can also lead chanting in Sanskrit if you want an exstatic experience (please, please, oh please-its my favorite but it is your party...).

Ohhhh yes yes yes! Storytelling!
That would be awesome! First we can chant under Sakina's guidance and attract all the good vibes of the universe and then we can relax around the campfire, our flowing dresses spread around us, our long manes glowing in the firelight, our hair minions busy oiling it, chocolate and margaritas all around, soft pillows under our .... errrrr... posteriors for our comfort  ;D and...
our very own rogue in the middle of all this telling us a fabulous tale!! A saga. A fairytale. :D :D
That sounds awesome ladies, what do you think? :D :D

I only hope there won't be any be-headings afterwards  >:( >:(because this is NOT Shechrazade (sp?) and we all want our lovely heads (and manes) on our shoulders, thankyouverymuch  ;D ;D

  • Lord of the Rings elf soundtrack music
  • Laurell K Hamilton books
  • Gallons of jojoba oil. We ARE going to have a jojoba fight, aren't we? Wait, hm.. only for people who want to. Wouldn't want to mess up anybody's tights.

    Jojoba oil fights, Anais? Mmmmm, night have to bring a change of tights! Wouldn't want to miss out on that.  ;)

    Well, NR, aren't you just a cutie patootie?  Thanks for sharing the pic!  I love RF, too.  I made a few costumes myself, but I don't have any pics  :(.

    I think you must wear that outfit while reciting your great tales of triumph and woe.  Huzzah!!

    HUZZAH!!  Those are great costumes!  Your long locks are perfect for that period.

    I've got yards of burgundy velvet and a pattern sitting around, waiting to be made into a Ren dress.  I wish my sister-in-law would hop to it!  :-)

    Wow  :o ;D ;D
    I turn my back for a sec and there's even time travelling happening in my backyard!
    NR great tights  ;) ;D
    Is it a kind of fair, or exhibition that you attend and you all go dressed up like that? Is it a club or something?
    Do you have renaissance food and drinks in that gathering too? I think they didn't have chocolate back then though  :-/
    Thank you for sharing that with us NR  :) :D

    Huzzah! :) ::bowing deeply::

    gabi, all rogues are lusty fellows; although in that pic, it might have been the meade.  ;D

    Sakina, I shall wear the out whilst reciting, never fear, but you must promise to teach us that Sanskrit and wear those bell anklets. I love the way they sound.

    krome, my friend in the pic made the costume she's wearing. Mine, I bought.

    Greek_lady, see what happens to your party when you're not around? :D This pic was taken at TRF, the Texas Renaissance Festival. It's a faire that runs for almost two months in the fall outside of Houston.
    http://www.texrenfest.com/
    And in the spring time we go to Scarborough Faire which is only about an hour south of Dallas.
    http://www.scarboroughrenfest.com/
    We just a few of the ordinary (dare I say looney) folks who enjoy showing up in costume.

    And as these faires deal with the renaissance period, of course we have chocolate.  ;D Those Saracen and Spanish folks have imported this delectable substance.

    Lisabelle!  You look beautiful  ;D.  I, on the other hand, couldn't find any nice pics of mysef in my RF duds-actually this is the only photo I did find.  My wreath has peac0ck eyes and leaves and floral stuff and ribbons trailing down the back although I'm not sure why I'm not wearing it in the pic 'cause I always wear it to the festivals.  Hummmm.  Curious.
    OMG!  It was March 2000 and my hair was still short.  Guess I have made more progress than I'd realized!



    This is one of the 2 outfits I've ever made myself.  I pretty much suck at sewing, but the year before this pic was taken my girlfriend and I rented a booth at a new Faire at GVSU in Michigan.  She made lavender sachets and I read tarot cards so I had to have decent clothes, right?!  Sure met a lot of nice people.  I haven't gotten back to the RF since 2000.  Hubby doesn't like to stay all day like I do.  I need a Ren buddy!

    Sakina what a neat costume!  I love the staff your holding!  Here's another pic of my outfit.  The shirt I had and the skirts my friend made for me.  I bought the stays at the Ren Fest and as you can see I bursting out of them! ::)

    Great RF pics!  I've only been to one Faire - as a chaperone to 6th graders on a school field trip  :P.
    I loved the fair and would have really enjoy it much more if it weren't for the neurotic hair-pulling of worrying about pre-teens who wouldn't  stay in sight of their appointed leader arghhhhhhhh.

    hmmmm, seems I'll have to go on a field trip with some of my own kind  :D

    Hey!  G_L & Gabi- I've got some pics to submit for your approval.  Just wanna know if you like this costume (still don't have any pics of the cabaret costume I mentioned earlier).



    and



    Sorry the quality isn't better, this was from when hubby was out of country w/the digital camera.  These pics are from a disposable on the eve of my first solo performance.  Gives you an idea, anyway.  I'll have on my anklets for the party, I don't have 'm in the pic 'cause they don't show up too well when wearing harem pants.  Unfortunately you can't see the bindis I have over my eyebrows.  The one on the 3rd eye shows better in second pic.

    Holy Cymbals and OY VEY!   :o Sheesh - the costume and YOU both look fabulous.  I love that kind of dense, saturated blue color and the pattern is wonderful - drapes beautifully on your body.
