Louise Weber Reincarnated?

Last night I had a dream that I was back in France (at the Moulin Rouge) and I was slumped in a chair while I was still in costume (all I remember seeing is a big fluffy skirt.) Toulouse Lautrec entered the room, and he was very flirtatious, or drunk. I think I was drunk as well since I was still in a costume and trying to sleep. I did some research this morning and found a cancan dancer named Louise Weber who was a subject in a couple of Toulouse Luatrec paintings...I checked out the other dancers Toulouse Lautrec had painted but they do not resemble me as much.




I am not a dancer in this life but I've always loved France and the impressionists. From what I've read Louise had to sneak around her mother to get into the clubs. My mother was actually a belly dancer and I was inspired to take a couple of lessons whenever we went to see her at a show, or her friends.
