This is Lyssa.

As most of you know, I'm engaged to Lyssa who is a very talented and skillful belly dancer. In the last two years, she has survived back-to-back brain surgeries in 2010.

After only 6 moths, Amy Sigil of the internationally renowned troupe Unmata, through an instructional DVD, inspired Lyssa to get up and dance again. Since then, she's met her hero Amy, danced with her as if she was one of her own troupe members, and Amy went with Lyssa to receive a prestigious tattoo of their troupe symbol, the Unlout. That's like going with Gordon Freeman to get a Lambda tattoo.

Since then, she's never given up and has persevered through medical difficulties that still remain from her procedure. More recently, she's been passing down her knowledge and craft to students who have traveled hours from home just to learn from her. It is no wonder to me she's entered into a competition for the Ultimate Belly Dancer. She has the skill, talent, and inspirational force to win. With enough votes, she could gain the ability to travel with her teaching, and go out to California to study with Belly Dancer masters and meet up with Amy Sigil and Unmata at Hot Pots Studio.

Unmata's Awesomeness

I believe Lyssa wholly represents what an ultimate belly dancer is. She's in the fusion solo category (winner decided by judges), and also eligible in the people's choice category (winner determined by votes). Click the link below and LIKE with your Facebook account to vote. Wish her luck, and thank you very much for being awesome.

SO GO VOTE FOR HER!

Lyssa would like to say that she tips her hat to the TWHL community for being with her and I during the brain surgeries, and sending those amazing emails of support. She still has them in a folder in her email. You guys should feel special. She also is telling me that she will dedicate a dance piece to TWHL by dancing to a track from a Valve game. We'll have to fish out a good track from somewhere. She also says thanks. :)

My dad is going to Hospital tommorow to get a Endoscopy test and I am sort of worried but seeing what your partner went through makes me think it isn't so bad. Of course we'll vote for her.

I expect I'll get some awkward questions for this, but I voted as well.
