I had a great time at the TOR. The acts were great. I enjoyed Ginger Goldmine's Bird in a Cage act, fantastic costume and props! I also enjoyed the synchronized and beautiful performance by the Harlem Shakes. White flowing feathers against mocha skin--really spectacular.

I must admit that after standing in 4" heels for almost 5 hours my dogs were barking. I missed Dita's performance, but I have been fortunate enough to catch some of her acts before.

I did take the tassel twirling class. About 40 bare-chested women, jumping and bouncing, all trying to twirl to the right, to the left, clock-wise and counter-clockwise, it was pretty fun. One woman took to it immediately and at one point she had both arms raised high, twirling her tassels at lightning speed, all while laughing like a banshee. (what a visual huh?) She had us in hysterics. I'd give myself an "A" for effort, but alas, I could only get my tassels to swing like a pendulum. Oh well, practice makes perfect.
