Today I wanted to get blunt answers to some questions I had been wondering and that I thought would be funny for you all to read. As a lawyer, my honey is quite to the point, and I am sure he probably finds what I do for a living to be a bit of an adventure in his life. So I decided to make a blog of exactly WHAT he said when I asked him a few questions and to see what would happen. Here it goes, nothing has been edited or altered, so enjoy. Here is the honey’s point of view on what it is like to live with a belly dancer!

F: How hangry you guys get!
3. When your belly dance spouse asks you to go with her to a show or party, does it make your cringe or what comes to mind?

6. What was the hardest decision or low point you have seen your belly dance spouse go through (because of being a belly dancer)?

10. 5 fun facts about your spouse?

3. Randomly she will just throw a belly dance related stretch or movement out of the blue while we are talking or doing something. She doesn’t even realize she does this.
4. “Shazam that”! This is exactly what happens every-time she thinks there would be a song good for Bellydance.
5. She really REALLY dislikes (goes psychotic) when someone insults the profession.
