Dancer Maiden with a Feather 1900s

Written by Teresita Blanco (The Artsy Sister)

Here is quite the beautiful dancer with a pretty white feather. The original costume was in black and white. I added a bit of red, because I thought it look better. It is always fun to build up with color in outfits that only exist in print, in a black and white format. There is really not much to say about the maiden, in part because I overslept. 

It is important to try to make the most of one's day. Not because of some fear of mortality or whatnot. Rather, if there is something else pending, waking up late can shorten you have for the main event. It rather makes me wish the day had 30 hours. It is a rather pleasant time, don't you think. 

When humans are deprived of sunlight in those sensory deprivation holes, they tend to fall into a 10 hours of sleep and 20 hours of activity. Needless to say, the internal clock of mankind is naturally in tune for a 30 hours cycle. It is a wonder why this is so. Perhaps it is a residue from our caveman past. 

During the ice age, humans had to spend a lot of time in caves. It was too cold to be out most of the time. People would get out, hunt and then run back to their hideouts. So, perhaps it is not useful for humans to sleep for 8 hours and act the rest of the rest of the day. Then again, trying to live like cavemen would sometimes end up causing you to sleep in the middle of noon. Still, it might be fun to try out sometime. You guys should try it.
