Dress A Day, Day 31: Black Bird Lands

Saturday, June 5

The dress is a very simple one left behind by Catherine Hoffmann two summers ago. It's just a little too low cut for me, but flexible so flexible and fun to dance in. I put the gorgeous Japanese silk top over to hide the escaping breasts from the public eye. Then I went to Tompkins park for a free Haitian dance class and performance. Back at the pad it was still so hot, and what with the fan blowing through my hair, the flowing top fluttering like wings the Haitian movements still in my body, I felt like flying. But after two dance classes and a day full of teaching and treating, the dance ended up being about landing.
