Deluxe Belly Dance Head Dress Fairy bells Gold Tone - eBay (item 370036174126 end time Apr-01-08 07:48:39 PDT)

I've seen this before on eBay but I find the photo off-putting should I? or am I being a tad picky/

Bleargh!

LOL! Actually kind of weird, no clothes and bells on the head

... and they are crooked, so she looks a bit "tipsy"

It IS off-putting! She looks a mess, she's naked and they're trying very hard to make a sale using the sex-angle. Is the fake-lore headdress such a hard sell that you have to put it on a naked girl? Ick. I'd pass...

the photo doesn't bother me as much as the incorrect description. What the %^&@! are fairy bells?! That is obviously a white metal Indian jewelry piece. She should have called it Ethnic India Silver Metal Bollywood Headress. As a full time ebay seller I hate when I see stuff misrepresented as belly dance items or for that matter inappropriately titled items. That said I can move on the nasty picture.....blah!

oh no, that's not good.

Put your top back on love, what would your mother think?

Maybe they already sold the costume that goes with the fairy bells and that's why she is without clothes. I assume it came complete with gauzy wings and a star tipped wand...

Nah, you're not overly sensitive... When I read your post I thought there would be another kind-of-there-costume... But apparently it was a not-there-at-all-costume. And maybe it is just me being mean, but I do agree with Mosaic on the girl not looking sober

adiemus · 04-01-2008, 06:09 PM

C'mon you guys where's your sense of fun?! What the advert is saying is that we could ALL look like that if we bought the headdress!!
Can I be like her when I grow up, pleeeeease??!

Yeah, that is inappropriate for selling BD items.
