I was at that event.  The theme was "Come as
What You Are Not."  It was amazing how many
virgins showed up ...  Me, I went as a wood
nymph and was completely happy in the company
of Baron Woody and Baron Forrest.  I have a 
picture somewhere ...

The name of the troup was "Hildegarde
Schwarzkopf's Camel Drivers Roller Disco Belly
Dancers", which included the Dance of the 70
Veils, [not 7000] which was a comic take off of
the Dance of the 7 Veils.  Mistress Lyndia
padded herself to look pregnant and danced
in 5 inch stiletto heels while chewing gum. 
[Three belly dancing no-nos].  Sir Martin, Sir
Robear and Duryn the Red danced as the Brothers
Karamozov.  It was nice to have men belly 
dancing for the ladies to ogle at.

days.]
