Today Daisy was in much better spirits. She met May at Nationale, th wiener dog at Bombshell Vintage, Max the arthiritic greyhound at Redux, and she stayed tied up outside Sizzle Pie for a whole five minutes without shaking in fear. She learned to love Alicia Kroell, our lookbook model and Wednesday Volunteer, had a visit with Gary Wiseman and Brennan Novak. She ate two bowls of food, drank two bowls of water, slobbered one bowl of water all over the sidewalk, and she danced!

I have been more than a little obsessed with this Miracles Club video by Dallas Verdugo and since it is all black and white and Daisy is all black and white, I thought it might be time to introduce her to Dance Therapy. This is still a work in progress!
Daisy was *kind of* into it at some points, but I think she prefers more old fashioned music. So far she's been vibing out on Freddy Quinn and all of the girl pop, soul and funk August 2010 artist/DJ Howard Gillam put on our computer. And The XX.

It's been a really long time since I've done dance therapy. In fact, it's been since like, December, with the exception of this one lost-and-found video from February. Apparently I need to get back at it. Must be out of shape. I popped a rib out this morning. Much pain ensued, and while I'm grateful to the relief provided by the AWESOME chiropractor upstairs, the bill not so much.
Moral of the story: Golden Rule is closing an hour early today by Doctor's orders. Bed rest and ice packs it is. Like, I can't breathe without intense pain. This is all really scary because, well, what with the intense bodily disassociation I experience, it's very rare for me to ever feel pain. So to feel this bad as this means I must REALLY be fucked up! More dance therapy soon.

The other night our friend/dancer Danielle Ross reminded us when it comes to dancing, it's not about how you look, it's about how you feel in your body and mind. We're hoping she'll be leading some dance workshops here in January. In the mean time:

Huge thanks to Catherine Liu for getting down with Devendra, and for coaxing me into Yo Vintage's faux fur coat and a black sequin and fringe spandex leotard, and then later zipper-legged denim pants and a sailor pride blouse. Yes, all sold here.
