HipMix.net Soap Opera Ep. 1: OfficeJen and Supplex

Today, OfficeJen is stealing some HipMix.net merchandise to try on at home (a story about that some other time).

She's walking out of the office, ranting about how she's a fabric snob, and because she needs such-n-such fabric to "hold everything in".

Being a sarcastic little me, I said, "Wait, what fabric is that?"

She says, "Supplex."

To which I reply, "Yes! I need me some of that to use on my mouth."

She said she's getting bandaids instead.

Sorry for the short episode. Someday I'll write the story of how I scare off visitors to the HipMix.net office.

Sarcastic Belly Dance

So things have been super hectic over here at HipMix.net.
It's our birthday (I upgraded our logo to party status).
We launched a site redesign (and I don't think it's possible that anyone's happier about it than me).
We got our own news segment (and I got to go backstage!).

But blatant self promotion aside, I was doing some thinking the other day.
One thing I love about dance is that a person's personality can really come across while they are dancing. It's really interesting to see.

And then I thought... so if I were a better dancer, would my dance style be sarcastic?
What would a sarcastic belly dance even look like?

Hope you guys are having great lives out there!
