you mention some choice costume disaster, are you alluding to the above idea?

Not at all.. I was speaking generally about how our tastes change.. we experiemnt til we find what we like and suits us.

i've also been corresponding on a belly dance site with someone with more experience on this subject, who sent me a number of links, of male Dancers, with a back ground on them, and again there are similarities among some, trends, but it seems quite an individual choice. but i do love a bit of sparkle and glitz myself.

Try Mandy T at the Shimmy shop..she is UK based and has made many for Khaled Mahmoud.

the colour theme was originally black and silver, but i saw on this chaps site a pic of a white and gold theme, and i thought ooh! much nicer, bolder and lends more definition. i did think, oh camporama, but then, i've seen other male dancers, alot of male dancers in something similar, and thought this is going to be expensive, i'm going to be wearing it, having to enjoy my dance in it, have it as an expression of myself, although i don't want to step on anyones toes with my choice, but hey, look what he is choice of Oriental is, whether it be dancing Egyptian or Turkish or whatever, and went for it.
the proof will be in the pudding in guess!

Yes, but if you are going to spend money, take your time and make sure you like it. 
The only toes you will step on is your own if you spend money on a costume you dont feel good in. |
