Voodoo Sisters in Chi-Town

This past weekend, the Voodoo Sisters went to Chicago to participate in Bellydance Underground's benefit show for Between Friends, an organization fighting domestic violence (www.betweenfriendschicago.org). Great cause, great show, great time!

We debuted Vampian Lespire Cats to a highly entertained audience, and had a great time doing it. We also spent the show backstage, listening raptly to the music, but unable to go out and watch the show because, well, our cover-up veils were under the MC's shirt.

You'll understand when you see the video, which we shall post as soon as we get it.

Many thanks to Rocio, who set this up, and the fine ladies of Chicago's belly dance world, as well as to Renee for putting us up, and George for letting us rip out his innards in public.

In the meantime, I gotta link to Aziza's post on weirdness and belly dance, which encapsulates why the Voodoo Sisters do what we do: http://azizasaid.wordpress.com/2008/08/17/is-that-weird/
