Weclome to Richard Lowe's birthday celebration!

2009 was my "pre-50th" birthday (my 49th birthday), and this year I threw a huge bash to celebrate. I mean, after all, how often does one celebrate a 49th birthday anyway?

The bash for 2009 was held on Sunday, November 8th from 5pm through 9pm at the Monrovia Community center.

There were performances by some of the best belly dancers in th area:

• Aubre
• Aubre with Donavon on drums
• Sooz
• The Glitter Gypsys
• She'enedra
• Elizabeth Mahina
• Olu
• Karma
• The Om Sisters
• Hiplash with Donavon on drums
• Marjhani
• Celeste
• Desert Lotus Tribal
• Strawberry Butterfly
• Michaella
• Heather Shoopman
• Sherri Wheately

Debra Reiser, an incredible henna artist, was at the party and sold her henna designs to may guests.
