Cher Is a Deva
By some miracle we were in the front row for the opening night of Cher's Vegas show, and it was beyond-words wonderful. We were thisclose and could see the veins on her tiny hands. She made a spectacular entrance, of course, lowered to the stage in a cage.
And then there was this micro-moment when she looked down at something on the floor and smiled to herself. It was tiny, fleeting, and then the show went on. What was she looking at? Closer inspection revealed a decal of Ganesh, the elephant god, who Wikipedia tells us "is widely revered as the Remover of Obstacles and the god of success, patron of arts and sciences, and the deva of intellect and wisdom... He is honored at the start of rituals and ceremonies... Dancers and musicians, particularly in southern India, begin performances with a prayer to Ganesha."
Ganesh is hot.
