I visited Cairo, Illinois again last week with my father. I discovered that the home in this picture burned down completely sometime between 2016 and now. I took this photo in 2015 but also visited in 2016 and it was still standing. This town has lost so much. 🏡⏳🏚 . . . . . #illinois #littleegypt #abandoned #rural #forgotten #decay #blackandwhitephotography #cairoillinois #townhouse #antebellum #landscape #moodygrams #vintage #urbanexploring #ruralexploration #exploring #adventure #fujifilm #lookslikefilm #history #xt1 #blackandwhitephoto #tbt #mood #memory (at Cairo, Illinois)

😂😂😂 this is why people mistake traditional & American tribal bellydance for ""exotic dancing"""! Thanks for that, Little Egypt. #nofilter #noedit #antiquing #vintage #retro #funny #antique #antiques #alleganantiquemarket #kitsch #oldthings #littleegypt #records #bellydance #bellydancerproblems https://www.instagram.com/p/B0d2rU2h32w/?igshid=6zf05kgmnun5

Pasta the point of no return 🍝 This is the #koshari, an #Egyptian dish of rice, lentils, pasta, chickpeas, musabika- a fresh tomato sauce with cumin and cayenne, and crispy onions, from #LittleEgypt in #Ridgewood #Queensny #nyc and I’m so glad we finally made it here thanks to @bkbiersten rec, everything was incredibly fresh and the owner Yvette was holding down the kitchen, by herself most of the time, and was so passionate about the food she put on the table while also gently scolding one of her teenage sons who walked in halfway through our meal. Places like this make me remember why this borough is such a special place ❤️ #queenseats #queenseatsmust (at Little Egypt)

Finally framed and maybe I'll get this painting into a gallery. Getting married and starting a new life with a family is time consuming but I'm finally starting back to work on some stuff. Hopefully some new ideas/concepts are brewing due to all these new life changes. #art #painting #canopicjar #siu #littleegypt #bethechange (at Carbondale, Illinois)

Stars of the World’s Fair
Houdini, Thurston and Billy Robinson, three of the 20th century’s greatest magicians, all figure into my show Timeless Magic now playing at Theater Wit.
However, these three “magic greats” strode through the midway of the 1893 World’s Fair completely unnoticed. Their stars had not yet risen. At the time, they were unknown budding performers cutting their teeth performing in side-show tents. The star performers of the fair were not magicians but Eugen Sandow the German strongman, Caroline Shawk Brooks the butter sculptor and a dancer known as “Little Egypt” who performed the “Hoochee-Coochee”.
Sandow was contracted by the Chicago talent agent Florenz Ziegfeld and became his first big star. Sandow’s success at the fair led to short films by Edison Studios and a tour with Ziegfeld’s Trocadero Vaudevilles.
Caroline Shawk Brooks, known as the “Butter Woman”, first gained worldwide attention during the 1876 World’s Fair in Philadelphia. In describing her Dreaming Iolanthe sculpture The New York Times observed the "translucence [of the butter] gives to the complexion a richness beyond alabaster..."
Fahrida Mazar Spyropoulos was hired by show biz impresario Sol Bloom to perform as part of “The Algerian Dancers of Morocco” in the midway’s Egyptian Theater. Spyropoulos stole the show and created a sensation known as the “Hoochee-Coochee” dance.
The three magicians left the fair as broke and anonymous as when they had arrived.

Of Blind Hogs and Acorns with a Hoochie Coochie Thrown in For Good Measure
Of Blind Hogs and Acorns... #Blog #Blogger #Blogging #Humor #BlindPigs #Acorns #HoochieCoochie #ExoticDancers #LittleEgypt #TheCoasters
“For all those men who say, “Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?”, here’s an update for you. Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage. Why? Because women realize it’s not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage!” ― Frank Kaiser I’m really distracted. Too much is going on. A new puppy dog, “Doing well, thanks for asking.” Still trying to synchronize our…
