Dress Rehearsal of King Harry's Harem

As Legacy Toastmasters Club's 10th anniversary is approaching, golden girls clogging Toastmasters meet more often to practice the sexy and sultry belly dance "Eyes Like Yours". It is our heartfelt wish that we could present an audiovisual sensation at the meaningful evening party, because Michelle is the Immediate Past President and Lydia is the better half of Harry Fong, the Incumbent President of Legacy Toastmasters Club.

Sunday morning, the 15th of April, I woke up early. On my way to the traditional market, how happy I was when I saw a street venture of fabric. Without any bargaining, I bought 10 yards of crimson satin, perfect for a Byzantineque style stage decoration for our belly dance. I thought and thought about the story of "Eyes Like Yours" for Master of Ceremonies to introduce us, and I came up with an impish idea to named our dance "King Harry's Harem".

The Dress Rehearsal Sunday evening was a success. The Past Presidents of Legacy Toastmasters Club were quite pleased with our dance program. Now, are you ready? Please follow me to unveil the ecstasy and bliss inside King Harry's Harem.

Light Off ~~

MC: Once upon a time, there lived King Harry
In his Kingdom of Legacy
King Harry enjoyed public speaking,
King Harry also enjoyed belly dancing.
Every evening after the Sun set,
In his grand and magnificent harem ....

Music On ~~

Green Fairy, Pink Fairy, Black Fairy walked into a huge suspended crimson satin tent. They shook their belly on the golden marble floor to begin the evening ritual. Blue Fairy, Princess Lydia, Purple Fairy joined their dance to bring the joyful spirit to the climax to celebrate the establishment of Legacy Kingdom on her tenth anniversary. Harry King took a bow and walked tall and happy surrounded by seven beautiful golden women.

The Cast:
Princess Lydia--Lydia Lin; Green Fairy--Sherry Li; Pink Fairy--Michelle Liu; Black Fairy--Kate Hsu; Blue Fairy--Irene Chen; Purple Fairy--Trini Ding; King Harry--Harry Fong; Stage Manager Linda Tseng


After dress rehearsal, we went to a nearby tea house for dinner. Lydia was shy to announce her 28th anniversary with Harry. So why waiting? Lyida gave Harry a sweet kiss, and Harry kissed Lydia back. It was a memorable evening for Lydia and Harry, as well as for members and friends of Legacy Toastmasters Club. Sherry

MARDI GRAS

I lived in New Orleans for four years, therefore I experienced Mardi Gras four times in my twenties. I was always thrilled to watch the parade and to receive colorful beads from the King, the Queen and the cortege. Sweet memories!

The ending of "King Harry's Harem" is a reproduction of Mardi Gras in Taipei.

(1) All dancers pose for five seconds for group photos.
(2) Invite King Harry to come up to the stage to join us, pose for five seconds for group photos.
(3) Unveil the masks together, pose for five seconds for group photos.
(4) Say "Long Live King Harry" together.


King Harry walks hand in hand with Princess Lydia from the center stage to the back of the hall, followed by Pink Fairy, Purple and Blue Fairies, Black and Green Fairies in sequence.

It is the carnival parade. Every one smiles and waves hands, walking down the imaginary aisle of Red Carpet!
