As some of you know, from past posts, Ayesha is not H. Rider Haggards grand lady. She is based on a character in a roleplay world I admire, who is an exotic dancer and singer first in Cairo, then in London. She is not a human, but instead is an Arabic Faerie, what is called an Eshu. They have no wings, and delight in songs, dances, and the Arabic art of storytelling. There is a song that I like to listen to her when I am working on her. My favorite lines and the ones that best express her spirit are, "I've had myself some big fat fun And I have even made some mon' I got the most angelic son My baby daughter is golden And I do what I like for fun And I am happy in my pride" Ayesha Version2 is dedicated to Jaager for holding on and holding out through Kristallnacht with me. ------------------------------------------------- Ayesha's the Dancers Song (Paraphrased from Daddy I'm Fine by Sinead O'Connar) I was born in Cairo town Where there was not too much going down For girls who's only hope Was not to find a man who could piss in a pot So early I heard my first guitar And knew I wanted to be a big star And I told my poor worried father Said I ain't gonna go to school no more Cuz see, I wanna look cool and I wanna look good With my hair slicked back and my boobs upright And feel real hot when my makeup's nice I could get sexy underneath the lights Like I wanna fuck every man in sight Baby come home with me tonight Make you feel good make you feel all right I'm going away to London I got myself a big fat plan I'm gonna be a singer in a rock 'n' roll band And I'm gonna change everything I can Sorry to be disappointing Wasn't born for no marrying Wanna make my own living singing Strong independent pagan woman singing And I feel real cool and I feel real good Got my hair slicked back and my see through tights I stand up tall with my pride upright And feel real hot when my makeup's nice I get sexy underneath them lights Like I wanna fuck every man in sight Baby come home with me tonight Make you feel real good make you feel all right I'm glad I came here to London I've had myself some big fat fun And I have even made some mon' I got the most angelic son My baby daughter is golden And I do what I like for fun And I am happy in my pride Daddy I'm fine. I'm fine. Daddy I'm fine. Daddy I love you. -------------------------------------------------
