Take Me I'm Yours

Song by Squeeze - Andrea Corr cover (here)

"I come across the desert to greet you with a smile."

This act appeared when I needed it most. It was one of my, now typical, moments when the act I planned is just not cutting it, usually for some schism between my vision and my abilities/SL realities or a general loss of enthusiasm. I was a week into a different act and it was just not coming together so I had to switch gears.

I heard Andrea Corr version of the song on Radio Paradise, and remembered that the original was on my "long list" (the list of songs I have in mind but not on the official GB song list that we share as a troupe). Any way, as I am prone to, I loved this one because it is a cover done by a female. Since I do not use emotes, I really like for my songs to be done by a woman when I want the lyrics to serve as a narrative. *points back to "Sexual Healing" from February*

The camels were exciting at first, "awww aren't they cute?" But once I started to work with them, I got a dose of reality. They are stubborn even when they are prims and being short on time did not help any at all. I felt spat upon, more than once.

I did take the traditional route on this one since I had not done a belly dance act as of yet.  But it really was not a belly dance, I used other styles of dance.
