2. I have received the comment" you have a strong veil". Which roughly translates to "stop slinging the thing around".
3. I feel depressed because after reading Delilah's post on veils......I think that I might just be one of those people who doesn't want to be "over exposed". Something to think about. ( it is a fabulous post, read it)
4. After doing the "around the world" move several hundred times, and doing a few framing moves, I pretty much want to drop the thing and do something else.
5.Anything but black veils give me a headache.
( once in a class ( remember Joyce/Kris?)...we noticed that one whole half of the classroom had black veils. So we decided that we'd be " Sheer Darkness". It was just funny enough to keep us cracking up and get us in trouble for talking too much.
6. In all honesty, veils seem very sensual to me, and I have trouble showing that side to others. I think it is the fabric, I'd rather run my hands all over it than dance with it....( Whew! Gettin' hot in here.).
7. Trying to do the butterfly flip thing makes me sweat, and look like Jane Fonda doing aerobics or something.There is nothing graceful about it.
8. Forget the pinwheel. Forget it. With a veil? I can muster it, but it ain't pretty. Waaaay too much going on there.
9. I have NO DEPTH PERCEPTION. For real. You know those people who are always stepping on your heels because they can't gauge how far away they are standing from you? That's me. So tossing the veil in the air and trying to catch it is O-U-T out.
10. I don't like to "piss around" with anything, so sometimes when my mood leans to the bitchy side veils seem too fussy to me. Like the princess in the pink silk dress that sometimes I want to be but mostly want to beat up. ( once again, Delilah's post is messing with my head)
11. The veil -as- an -entrance thing needs to be a little more than someone carrying a piece of fabric onstage, then dropping it a minute later. If you are going to carry one then use it at least.
12. I think that there are "veil people" just like there are "dog people", "cat people" and Aquarius-es. That's all I'm sayin'.
13. While I was trying to find a picture of a veil for this blog,I found something else I want.. So I haven't given up on you yet, veils, I haven't given up yet.
14. Any and all of the above can change drastically according to my mood. Ain't it great being a woman!

Love this post Kali! Not a great fan of the veil myself...but knowing me- that could also change at any time!
Was just browsing your blog and ran across this post. Have you tried a heavier silk? You might find that you enjoy moving something less floaty and more SWOOSH if you went to an 8 momme habotai rectangle or half-circle. Or even a piece of charmeuse.
Sorry, addicted to silk here, thought I would mention.
