Sunday I was the emcee for Hips of Fury, a belly dancing competition in Palmdale. This event was the brain child of my best friend since 9th grade, Jill (Mears) Warden (pictured below). It was the first year for this – and such a great time. I ran around for about 6 hours, acting as stage manager and then introducing each act, and announcing the winners. Aaah – how lovely to use my theatre training again, for more than just being a ham for my kiddies. 🙂
