POPSMaking a Comeback: Male Belly Dancers in Egypt
More: Mesbaah is shimmying in a society that has long struggled with ever-changing limits of social tolerance. A carved relief at a pharaonic-era tomb near Cairo shows today's dance prohibitions were yesterday's norm. It depicts a chorus line of men at a religious festival; each wears a sash knotted on his left hip, a fashion for dancing men and women that lingers today. Male performers were once considered more reputable than females. In his book "The Manners and Customs of the Modern Egyptians," Edward William Lane, an Englishman who lived in 19th-century Cairo, observed that male dancers were preferred by Cairenes who thought women "ought not to expose themselves." From 1834 to 1849, women dancers, known as ghawazee, were banned from the city. Rakia Hassan, 62, a retired dancer, recalls that in her childhood, males peddled their skills along with women on Muhammed Ali Street, then a one-stop shop for belly dancer hires. Me: Never even knew males use to belly dance.

POPSLive Longer: SEX EVERYDAY - Medical Reasons
"Sex is a vigorous form of exercise," says Dr. Michael Cirigliano of the University of Pennsylvania. "The physiological changes in your body are consistent with a normal workout. Your heart and respiratory rates rise, and you burn calories." "You’re releasing endogenous opioids. They’re like drugs, but they’re manufactured internally," says Dr. Alice Ladas, a psychologist and one of the authors of The G Spot "Pain threshold in women is elevated 60 to 80 percent during pleasurable stimulation," explains Dr. Beverly Whipple, a professor of neuroscience and president of the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors and Therapists. "In the midst of orgasm," Ogden noted, "she apparently feels no pain." "Sexual activity helps strengthen the pubococcygeus muscles (PC muscles), which in turn help keep the pelvic organs in shape and where they belong," explains Dr. Ladas. "The more you train the coordination between nerve and muscle, the easier it is to perform," Dr. Andre G

POPSFatChanceBellyDance & Lynette, 1991 "The Revolutionary Nutcracker Sweetie" The information on the clip by Lynette of The Gilded Serpent magazine fame (she's the publisher ;) says this about the video: "In 1991, Lynette attempts to perform with Fat Chance belly dance, Medusa and Juliet. FCBD does tribal style and Lynette attempts to blend her cabaret style with theirs. Medusa her snake magically transforms into 6 year old Juliet. This performance was part of a larger production by the Dance Brigade called the Revolutionary Nutcracker Sweetie. This was a gorgeous production by the brilliant Nina Ficter and Krissy Keffer. The show was a parody of the original and included many progressive issues such as war, homelessness, poverty, women's rights and more."

POPSBritney Puts a Cork in Baby Talk Only reason I clipped this part made me laugh: "No word on whether she saved room for a piece of cake, which was presented by a pair of female "little people" who sang "Happy Birthday" from a tabletop (and here you thought your job sucked)." And No - I wasn't keeping up on the Brit. It appeared from a search on current job markets and housing markets.
