Description
Once upon a time there was a sloth who wanted very badly to be a belly dancer.
People said "It's not that a sloth can't be a dancer--
we live in an enlightened age,
a sloth can do whatever she wants--
but still--perhaps a stately waltz or minuet?
Sloths are not quick.
That's just the way it is."
But the sloth's one desire was to be a belly dancer, and so she was,
dancing to the tambour and the wailing flute.
She was very slow. It took all night.
Most people left.
But a few people stayed, and thought
that it was worth the wait.

I haven't painted a straightforward silly Weird Animal Pin-Up in a dog's age, so I figured what the hell. Three-toed sloths are under-represented. Particularly as belly dancers, damnit.

She's worth waiting for - I like the idea of a slow-motion belly dance.
