What were they thinking (UBDC) - Page 7

I found this while I was looking for soft sculpture arms for Amulya on the peacock thread. Perhaps we need a subsection of UBDC for ugly belly dance poses. This person posted this picture of herself on her website, so I suppose she is happy with it. I'd blur out the face, but I can't unless Moon will teach me how (Moon is my computer guru

).

Yeah, I know Ted Turner got a lot of heat for colorizing some of the classics of American cinema, but he did a huge amount of research in order to get the colors on the costuming correct...imagine if someone had cared enough to do that for the Egyptian classics. I STILL want to make replicas of some of Samia Gamal's costumes, even if I don't know the colors, because they are so incredibly elegant.

Oh, and Shanazel, is that Fatheim? (maybe I spelled it wrong)

Well, at least that woman seems to wear her old-people's-white-hair with pride, Shanazel.
The only way in which I could blur the face was copying the image to photoshop, blur it in there, save the file on my pc (

) and post it here as a link. If you don't have photoshop you can also just put something over the face with Paint or so.

Amulya, last time I posted in this thread I missed the entire page on which you posted some of the most horrible costumes ever. And thanks for the hat! It still makes me laugh

No, I believe she calls herself Pepper Alexandria. She puts herself forth as a belly dancer, but the costume, attitude, and appellation call stripping to mind (maybe because a friend of mine used to be an exotic dancer under the name Chili Pepper).

I'll try the face painting, Moon. Thanks.

That photo looks as though it's from a girly pin-up calendar.

I particularly like the "modesty flower" strategically placed on the front.

Oh dear...Shanazel....got me rolling on the floor for about 15min for the modesty flower :-D ...you truly are my humor role model! GO girl!

The woman pictured above is actually a San francisco area teacher who's quite good.

That is one of the nicest things anyone has said to me. Thank you, Ranya.

What style does Pepper Alexandria teach, Catwomyn?
