In August 2016, the Skinny Dip performers had the opportunity to dance to the lively and original music of the Nathanial Johnstone Band. Since "steampunk" was the theme, I decided to take advantage of being 7 months pregnant and have a clock painted on my belly by Cerice Odegaard, a talented set and props designer and fabricator (as well as a makeup artist and hair stylist). 

​

The Steampunk photographs were taken by Chris Yetter. 

I also performed a few times as a pregnant lady at the Tacoma Belly Dance Revue in 2016. I danced to Peel Me a Grape sound by Diana Krall and then I did a kind of tree dance using an original costume by Pam Wunderlich (who introduced me to modern, interpretative dancing in 1992-1993) and then I danced really pregnant, doing a Raqs Asaya number. Whew!
