That lovely long hair was fake! Daisy Fuentes' Secret Extensions! It really was terrific and easy. My beautiful sister gave it to me since it was the darkest shade they had, but it didn't match her hair color (her hair is naturally jet black). This extension blended perfectly with my hair color. It was the bomb diggity. It stayed on during special events and dance performances, as long as I didn't whip my head around too fast or get into a cat fight. These Secret Extensions did the trick!
But this is me NOW:
Bam! That's the real deal Holyfield right there! Here's another one:
I promise these aren't photoshopped! That's my real hair! Besides, if I was going to photoshop, I would have started with that little mom tummy blub. Hey, it's called bellydancing, not six-pack abs dancing!
But I still have not met my goal. When I think of my goal, I think of one gal I know. Let me tell you a little bit about Tanisha.
When I first met Tanisha at the end of 2010, she was just starting to be a fellow Sohaila Shining Star/bellydance student.
Tanisha before she started dancing.
Tanisha is the second from the left. Then there is Masami, me, forgot name, Crystal, Karena, and Sohaila.
Tanisha right before she went on her long hair quest, 2011.
When Karena and I saw Tanisha for the first time, we were blown away by her talent. She had shimmies and undulations down and her veil work was beautiful. This was a student??? I was just starting, but I didn't have that kind of technique! She had it goin' on!!! What a great discovery we made (I know it was all Sohaila, but we were there!)
Now, just a few years later, Tanisha is a bona fide pro!
I love it when I'm right ;-) Not only is Tanisha one of my belly dance idols and dance sisters, she is also my hair idol! I mean, look at this:
This girl is beautiful, inside and out. She is so thoughtful, kind, wise, and such a hard worker, too. It has been so exciting watching her blossom into such a marvelous young woman and a force to be reckoned with on the dance floor! Sorry guys, she's married, and to a great guy. Just shows you how smart they both are!!! We love you, Tanisha!!!
