Timmers Loc: San Antonio Texas.

Not the image though I do love it's simplicity, it is that the image is of my friend the Doctor & Dancer Starena. A pet name for Serena. I asked her this afternoon if it was still hot in Southern Arizona ( area of the Sedona Desert), like it was cold there at this time of year!

Serena asked what I have been up to of late. That began the chatter box Tim, yes, it is not just in my posts! So off I went on this and that but I did tell her that I had been doing some gardening and that I was working on her secret garden. It is the name she gave to the small garden out behind the kitchen door. That brought up that I wanted to get the space back to a better state as fall arrived and I could get my legs back into shape.

Starena asked if I remembered the photograph I made of her that hot summer day. She had just returned from an exercise run in the middle of the day (not a great idea for Texas in the summer!). I said yes! I loved that image and had recently reworked it in Photoshop 7 (I know, everybody loves all the 'bells and whistles' of the new PS, but I'm a sort of throw back to basics). "Great she said, send me a copy, and do not remove my ankle tat like last time!", so stern! I didn't, I had rotate the original and so it looked like I had but; so, what's the point, that girl KNOWS what she knows! So I sent this copy and she opened it while we talked.

The quite!
"What is wrong?" I ask?

"I look so old!" Is what I hear.

Then I explain that people think that I am a cradle robber! "You look like your underage" And in Texas that is not good, and I explain that this girl is a woman, not like a high school girl!

"So don't you go telling folks that your boyfriend did this picture of you when you were in high school!"

That made her happy.

Starena is about to turn 50, and the last time I saw her she looked like she was 30, that was two years ago.

So, I guess I better get to bed, I have a lot of early morning work to get done, got to get the solarium in shape as winter will be arriving all too soon and the cats like all the plants in 'their' solarium along with the litter box when it gets cold out!

For today, Starena dancer doctor in the secret garden after a long summer exercise run!

By the by, that is what a perfectly toned modern dancer's body looks like! Love those legs! Huba-huba!

She is in Arizona and a doctor, a musician, and she on occasions models but she is also an Easter Dancer in the Gypsy style. In the middle east many of the dancers are male, more than women. But one place they are always women are in bars. Women Gypsy style dancers will begin dancing for the customers and in the process they are allowed to dis-arm the customers. They are well known to play and tease the men by balancing swords on their hips and their heads while gyrating about, then they dance the weapons behind the bar and unload the weapons. Knives are included as are any fire arms. A woman can do this and the men allow this. When the men are disarmed and get route they can only have body and fists. No one ever attacks the women dancers. They get tops during the dancing and often the next ray when men return to retrieve their weapons.

I have watched Serena dance with sabers on head and hips, she is really good at this. It is fun to see her dance up to a large man and knock him off balance by popping him with her hip while balancing a saber on her hip. It is loads of fun seeing her dance up to a woman and transferring a sword to the other woman's head, balancing it on her head and then moving the woman's hips to the music. The best is when she gets children, both boys and girls dancing balancing on their heads small sabers. The sabers are always dull and she grinds away the tips so no danger of injury.

I do believe this has helped her with her figure modeling as she can draw photographers into a sense of good fallings about her modeling. She is good with a single person but in groups she shines!

So, I call her dancer-doctor.

An odd thing and I wish I could post it but she will not allow it as it is a trade secret that she has agreed to not discuss nor show images of.

Everyday, part of her 'beauty regiment' is to be in front of her bathroom mirror and place some 14 to 18 accu puncture needles in her face! I have seen her do it.

Remember, Doctors of Eastern Medicine just like their Western counter parts do all the basic things that they do with patents. So training in Eastern Medicine one is assigned a partner and you learn how and why each energy point is used when placing needles. This way you learn how to do the actions with out causing pain and producing benefits to the person.

She was visiting my studio years ago and I had asked about 'cupping', this are glass domes that are used to realign energy areas of the body. They are applied to the skin and if done correctly it will leave no marks and will also create benefits to the person.

Some people I know here over and had been doing this cupping and I got Serena to do a treatment, a correct treatment to one of the women. All were surprised at what Serena did and that it left no marks and several of the women asked to have a treatment and all agreed that they would seek help to learn how it was done

Tim I do not see the tat. Are we supposed to see it in this picture?

God help me if I was to remove Serena's tate. It is a special ancient representation of power to protect her. She is vary superstitious.

She embraces many ancient beliefs. She is an adherent of the Lord Krishna, more precisely, that of his consort Radha, the lead women of the Gopi maddens. She represents the Bliss Potential of the Lord Krishna. In India even today, followers of Lord Krishna are channeled through Radha, not directly to him.

There are influences in our culture, Whinny the Pooh is a visual representation of the Baby Krishna, just born and eating the scared gee from the sempo* (the honey pot at the base of the tree of knowledge at the base of the Ocean). The ancient Nordic traditions and belief of the Dawn (Don) and The Kalevala Mysteries**, the Hero Mythic tale found as well in all cultures around the world. You probably know this as the Shakespeare story of Hamlet (truth, Shakespeare did not write that story).

No human could with stand the impact of the gee, so women who saw him eating away from the 'pot' knew this was the incarnation of the Lord Krishna, and so cared for him like mothers and took him to Radha, his consort to live. The other dead give away was that his body was so infused with life, that his body was light tone of blue, signaling that he was infused with life, like the blue of a human's blood and the arteries and organs.

Winnie's honey pot is colored blue, the color opposite from the yellow of honey. More over, the 'honey' is associated with the royal honey of France and Mediterranean. That ancient honey was a mixture of honey and barley (with a few other items) that becomes the Mead of old folk lore. It is hallucinogenic.

Robin of Loxley, Robin of the Hood, and fryer Tuck, tuck and his mead, it is all there in our folk lore.

*In French/Galic, this in French is spelled Sampo.

**Kalevala Mysteries, see the books about this myth.
