Thought Provoking Belly Dance Costumes: the good, the bad and the hideous

[Zorba]

HA! Her costumes are awesome.

Yes they are - but she'd "love" the one under discussion. BB might have a few hilarious observations as well!

Maybe just in time for America? A Halloween themed one. Lots of work and thought put into this one:

I like it except for the nude bra cups; it just doesn't quite mesh. But then I love bats.

I kind of like this one!

this sort of looks at you

Well. Um. It has interesting parts. Definitely over the top. (If there's such a thing in dance.)

 

[Zorba]

The evil eyes of Cruella DeVille?

Is that from The Little Mermaid? It's pretty but there's not one fringe!

 

[Shanazel]

It's so clever that I want to like it, but it's just so... little pink mermaid.

 

[Zorba]

Its really pretty, but how do you avoid stepping on the skirt hem? I'd do a face plant (aka "forward Turkish drop") in about 10 seconds! Face plants are considered poor form by most reputable Belly Dance authorities...

"Face plants are considered poor form by most reputable Belly Dance authorities... "

Unless a face plant is how you can best express your own personality in the dance...

 

[Suzanne Azhaar]

Ohhhhh, please don't hate me, I love the pink one. Hemline would have to be adjusted, but it not hard at all.

 

[Shanazel]

Okay, let's love it and damn the pinkness. Can I hate the one below?

 

[Suzanne Azhaar]

Holy doodle! How can she possibly dance in it without a costume malfunction? (Can I hate it with you? It's one enormous yuck.)

 

[Zorba]

Its already a costume malfunction.

 

[Daimona]

Okay, let's love it and damn the pinkness. Can I hate the one below?

I don't think I understand that costume.

Did they have too little of that white fabric left to make a full dress?
Or was it more like "whoops, I made those cut-outs too large - must improvise" ?

Oh, I understand it all right. It blew past the line from "sensual" to "sexy" all the way to "slutty" in one fell swoop.

Is that a design from the Garden of Eden???

Too trashy for Da Garden...
