Heidi Klum dances "Tsifteteli Tourkiko" |
Because of the mounting public interest in the details of my Easter
Sunday wedding to the Greek supermodel Heidoula Klummidis, professionally known
as "Heidi Klum", I will share with you, dear readers, some moments from our
happiness.
After we had stood side by side in front of the congregation, before God
and humans, as Victor and Victoria, we joined our fellow parishioners in the
Church's Easter picnic, which served as an impromptu wedding reception for us
newlyweds. The best part was dancing to a live band singing songs of the great
Stelios Kazantzidis, Heidoula's fellow Pontian. (Greek surnames ending in
-idis indicate that the family originated in Pontus, the Black Sea coast of
today's Turkey.)

You can imagine the appreciation of all participants witnessing the
World's most celebrated supermodel do a solo belly dance to the tune
"Tsifteteli Tourkiko":

"Siko, horepse, koukli mou,
na se do, na se haro,
Tsifteteli Tourkiko,
ninanay, yavroum, ninanaya!"
I.e.,
"Get up, dance, my little doll,
so I can see you, so I can enjoy you,
(dancing) Turkish Tsifteteli,
ninanay, my little one, ninanaya!"
The Tsifteteli, the Greek and Turkish belly dance, is the dance of the
Great Goddess, celebrating femininity and what more appropriate occasion can
there be than the wedding dance of an international Goddess, who also bore
absolute proof of her femininity, being great with child:

Many of our fellow parishioners got down on their knees and were clapping
in rhythm, while Heidi was dancing the Tsifteteli. They were led by our sister
Dina, the Czarina, who had been concerned recently that her sister Empress
Heidi might give birth to illegitimate issue. Now, however, with our wedding
accomplished and Baby Leni about to be born a legitimate Archduchess, Dina was
glad beyond belief, clapping and saying:
"Bravo, Heidi, bravo! Horepse, koukli mou! (Dance, my little doll!)"

put together by some ethnic Turks from the Greek region of Western Thrace (the
northeastern corner of Greece, next to the border with Turkey). These
Turkish-Greeks have migrated to Heidoula's own adopted homeland, Germany. The
greeting at their Web site is "Kalimerhaba", combining the Greek greeting
"Kalimera" ("Good day") with the Arabic-Turkish greeting "Merhaba" ("Hello").
If you click on the link there called "Kalenin Bedenleri -- Tsifteteli
Tourkiko", you will hear this famous song sung in both Greek and Turkish. The
owners of this German language Web site are very proud of both their Greek
citizenship and culture and their Turkish heritage and culture and offer more
Turkish and Greek songs there, including "Samiotissa" ("Woman from the island
of Samos").
After her Tsifteteli dance, Heidi, who is quite a ham, impressed all of
our fellow parishioners with her own interpretation of another Kazantzidis
song, the unforgettable "Mantoubala":

As you all know, dear readers, Heidi does not only dance very well, but
she also has a beautiful singing voice.

Yeah, Kazantzidis itan to aidoni tis Anatolis.
Translation: "Yeah, Kazantzidis was the nightingale of the East."
Marianna's family, like Heidi's, comes from Pontus, the Black Sea coast
of today's Turkey, far to the East of today's Greece. All Pontians idolize
Stelios.
Stelios Kazantzidis's family moved from Pontus to Athens in the 1920s and
he was born there in 1931. After he had become a very successful singer and
composer in the 1950s and 1960s, he got to spend a lot of his vacation time in
my hometown, Volos, in central Greece. He would rent a house on the coast for
months at a time and go fishing with the locals, many of whom are of Pontian
origin, too.

As you can imagine, Marianna, we had a lot of retsina on Easter Sunday to
celebrate the wedding. Heidi, of course, did not drink any wine because of the
coming little Elenitsa. She just had water.
By the way, the song "Samiotissa" is a reminder of Theophano, the
beautiful ice cream temptress I used to be infatuated with in the 1980s. Her
family is from Samos, the home island of the great mathematician and
philosopher of antiquity Pythagoras. Among Freemasons, the Pythagorean Theorem
is known as the 47th Proposition of Euclid.
The Entities have arranged that Theophano of Samos now reside in S.
Euclid, Ohio (a suburb of Cleveland).
For Freemasons, the Pythagorean Theorem symbolizes a wedding, where the
squares of the two orthogonal sides unite ("get married") to give birth to the
square of the hypotenuse.
