“ Pilgrimage to
the place of the wise
is to find escape
from the flame of
the place of the wise
is to find escape
from the flame of
separateness.”

Today's song,
"Love Bites"
by Def Leopard,
came on
the radio
this morning.
I knew it in 4 notes.
The flashbacks began
soon after.
Imperceptibly
my body rocked;
Sinuously.
Some things
you never forget.
New in Honolulu,
late 1980's,
parting that curtain
separating noon sun
from dank
strip club. . . .
Wasn't THIS
ALWAYS the song
playing? Look,
Savanna is on stage
not awake yet.
I flew in from Kona,
danced noon
to midnight
Friday & Saturday.
Had adventures
after hours
till early Sunday's
morning flight.
Made a lot
of Kala
(money)
with that song!
Long may it
make me
wave!
If today's topic
"Cloudia stripping for money"
is news to you,
click on the book
at the top of this blog
and read my whole,
very cool,
Hawaii story.
[ Hope I haven't
lost anyone!
But hey,
gotta speak my truth,
and at this age
I like to reminisce
about show biz dayz. ]
We just got to
the illusive
500 Friends' Faces
in the sidebar.
!!!HooRaY!!!
Just in time
to learn some truth
all from a song;
Thanks friends.
Please DO come back
tomorrow
when normal
uplifting
programing
continues.
Warmly, Desiree
er, I mean Cloudia
(heh heh)
is to praise
your own eyes. ”

Love that Def Leopard song.
It sounds like you had a great experience on stage; and a great stage presence!
I still have that stage fright !
