Such a change from March when you felt lonely and on the outside looking in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-pics-of-my-beautiful-dress-this-time#post-957939 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 12:06:08 +0000 Raisin 957939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's wonderful Mochi! Looks like it was a great time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-pics-of-my-beautiful-dress-this-time#post-957933 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 12:04:01 +0000 Suz 957933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fantastic story! So very happy for you and for all the other dancers! It must feel wonderful to have taken action in this way -- and to see and feel a powerful result. Imagine if you had stayed silent or simply gone with your original feelings of sadness and being left out. You might have slunk away and lost connection with the community. Instead, you have given that community new life and become a valued and important member. Oh, and you got a great new dress, too. &nbsp;:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-pics-of-my-beautiful-dress-this-time#post-957923 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 11:37:36 +0000 harmonica 957923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful post! Thanks for sharing and it really shows your generosity </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-pics-of-my-beautiful-dress-this-time#post-957920 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 11:25:11 +0000 Mochi 957920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>While I was helping out at the door I took some of these pics. It is not really formal and so the range can go from glam to arty to funky to comfortable. But mostly women dress nicely in fine tango tradition.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-pics-of-my-beautiful-dress-this-time#post-957912 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 11:15:46 +0000 Anonymous 957912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mochi, I'm so pleased for you! It sounds like a wonderful evening. Sorry I didn't comment on your other dress thread, but I did read it. I look forward to seeing more pics when you post them. Your teachers sound kind and appreciative and you will get to carry on dancing through out the summer. Enjoy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-pics-of-my-beautiful-dress-this-time#post-957909 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 11:13:24 +0000 Lantana 957909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Big smiles coming your way. That's a beautiful affirmation of who you are. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-pics-of-my-beautiful-dress-this-time#post-957906 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 11:10:59 +0000 Mochi 957906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know, sorry, but I did look nice and got some compliments. I had wanted to get a pic of my and my teacher, who as hostess&nbsp;was completely in demand much of the evening, and then I got involved in helping out and eventually figured,&nbsp;I will wear it again soon, and have it in my closet for many joyful, celebratory occasions to come! In the meantime, in a bit I'll add on some pics of what other women were wearing at the milonga dance party so you can see the variation but overall type of style (harem pants, floaty skirt, sexy dress, etc).</p> <p>The dance was a lot of fun (I was too tired to dance, but I loved the music, conversation, and simply watching people).&nbsp;</p> <p>I have a wonderful story to relate about this. It's an update, really. I had written off topic about this same monthly dance I'd gone to back in March, and how intimidated I had been. And also, about my two teachers' struggle and how we rallied to show them appreciation for all they've done for us&nbsp;with their classes.&nbsp;</p> <p>Anyway, unlike the past few monthly dances, this last one was booming. Paul had to move some of his small furniture (coffee tables, etc) outside to accommodate everyone. He was also a really gracious host, going around to women who were sitting there and asking them to dance. He spent time talking to me--we are both shy people and it was nice that he seems to have changed. The milonga has changed. It's very welcoming.&nbsp;</p> <p>I stayed till about midnight and went to thank my woman teacher before heading out. She said, "I can't thank you enough for what you've done for us. I think the energy from that is directly responsible for all the people here tonight. It's totally energized us. We've turned it around because of you." I wanted to cry! They were going to take July and August off; now they're not going to break throughout the summer. Therefore I can get pics next month. :-)&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm so happy, you can't imagine.&nbsp; </p>
