Oh, That’s SO Subtle!

Oh, That's SO Subtle! [Blog]

“She’s doing her workshop in the bathroom.” They needed mirrors, why not. And although advertisements may not have sold any tickets with a public bathroom location as a feature, the actual ad did not specify where the workshop might be held. No complaints, please, you have been forewarned. Being a celebrity in her own right, she (and the class, of course) is interrupted over and over again by her many “fans”. “Oh my god, it’s so good to see you!” Screeches through the air over and over, followed by a smooch with heavily lacquered lips – kiss, kiss. “She’s in there ordering people to be quiet, she is after all, holding a workshop in here.” She has briefly and swiftly taken ownership of the women’s restroom wearing her black, fur-lined ugs and leather with chain belt. She is the perfect image of a public restroom owner. To finish the outfit, her red bra shows through her white, wife-beater tank top that has a fitting red heart and bones on the front.

She’s “painting” a volunteer’s face with a heavy black line along with a contrasting white line, very dramatic and stark contrast. A gal blurts out “Ooh, that’s so subtle.” she says this very earnestly, she is genuinely serious. The whole room explodes with laughter – one gal expresses the irony in the previous statement. “Only a room full of belly dancers would think that that much make-up could be subtle!”

Ahhh, I love belly dance!

Hi, I'm Blume, the voice behind the Yellow Desk! I recently moved to the Oregon Coast with my love where we live in a tall house overlooking the lake, surrounded by trees – it's our very own tree house. My yellow desk is perched up high in the second story of the house, with an incredible view. The house is filled with windows for optimal views of the lake and forest and all of the creatures they support. We have only been here a few weeks and we have already spent countless hours enjoying deer, Canadian geese, ducks of many varieties, egrets, and other incredible wildlife right in our own yard. Living on Ten Mile Lake with its pristine 42 mile perimeter has inspired me to refresh my blog and begin writing again much more often. I'm excited to share my journey with all of you and also to talk about all of the things that I love. I want to tell you about our amazing adventure getting here, including all of the heartbreaks and headaches it took - nothing worth having is easy to come by. I look forward to writing about the many experiences we will have ahead of us as well! In case you were wondering, yes, Blume is my real name - it means flower in German. My last name is Bauer - it means farmer. Thus I am a flower farmer.... and honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way. I love flowers and glitter and all things sparkly. I love dance and art and yoga and nature. Here are 10 more fun facts about me... see them here: www.theyellowdesk.com/about
