        More wonderful generous folks...

        Carol Brown at the Stage Door Salon on 19th Street in the Heights had donated a full set of hair extentions!

        Ever wonder how the movie stars get that amazing full hair? Or go from short to long overnight? Hair extentions! I've done it... They last about 3 months... you can shower, swim etc.. no worries.

        Bidding on this will start around $175... don't miss out - market value is over $400!

                            You may notice the private lesson listings have been removed - Ebay deemed the listings inappropriate because they included the instructor's website. This is in violation of their listing policy as they believe people could just go to the instructor's website to purchase lessons.

                            I have been told they should be up again in about 24 hours - without the website...

                            Thank you for your patience!

                                UPDATE: Thank you to each and every one of you who have made our Cairo dreams a reality. We are thrilled to announce that as our various fundraising efforts end, with your help we have raised the entire cost of our airfare to Cairo PLUS the money we need for our additional hotel days after the festival ends. We are incredibly humbled by the kindness and generosity of our brothers and sisters in dance. Thanks to you, we can go To Cairo... With Love.

                                            Good Luck, Have fun! AND, dont buy so much stuff at the Khan el Khallili that you have to pay overweight charges on the way back . . . and believe me, it isn't hard to do! Ask me about my last trip in March, LOL!!! Or maybe not, i think I should forget about that.

                                            Take care,
