About Me

I fancy myself a traveling gypsy healer. I like to move around a lot and I get really excited about shinny jingly things. I am a Burlesque dancer/gogo dancer/ belly dancer, who loves to perform. As Delilah Dare I am a member of two burlesque troups. the Charity dance troup Girls On Top, who perform to raise money for women's shelters in the Vancouver area, and Sneaky Kiki Girlesque. As Amber I am a bellydancer and am one half of the new tribal fusion troop, vital divine, check out our myspace for details.I am a rebalancing massage bodyworker, and am passionate about finding new ways to bring people to a deeper physical and emotional awareness. I am a member and co-founder of the non profit organization Global Rhythms, www.globalrhythmsbc.com I have resigned to the fact that I will probably spend my whole life on my path towards working with people to instill social change at an international level through grass roots movements and organizations. That, and I love cheese.

Music:

I like all music except bad music. I am pretty much excessively eclectic and listen to everything from tango to rock.

Movies:

I love movies, well, I love good movies. The best movie I've seen lately was Amantes del Circulo Polar but a few other movies I thoroughly enjoyed include me and you and everyone we know, clockwork orange, brazil, blue velvet (I like David Lynch in general), todo sobre mi madre, the delicatessen, the life aquatic, lost in translation , breathless, the tango lesson, the exiles and many more.

Television:

I don't usually watch t.v. but right now I have cable for the first time in 6 years and I must admit some shows, like the Daily Show, are prettey frikin cool.

Books:

Once again too many to list them all. I think my all time favorite book is The Little Prince (standard). This summer I read some really good books, a staggering work of heartfelt genius, light in August and Sexing the Cherry. Which were all incredible. My favorite novel is the unbearable lightness of being. I loved skinny legs and all, Jitter bug perfume and Tim Robbins in general until I read 5 of his books in a row and realized that they are so utterly formulaic that I got really sick of him. I had a huge beat poet phase which has pretty much ended now, but I will always have respect for Laurence Ferlinghetti, Allen Ginsberg and the rest of the beat crew. I like Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Borges.
