and I have to say in mine..just leave off all the "clever bits" and we'd be away with a standard dress.

Political correctness has reached the dance costumes forum.
:lol::lol::lol:
Well, I have to admit, I find the strap idea attractive. However, the beaded ( I think applique) work looks like something that you'd find on an old lady's jacket in Atlantic City.

I think the thoughts this thread has provoked are worthy of another existing thread! Or perhaps a new thread for the ultra timid:
IHYDMBTIATBWWYBDC thread
The (I hope You Don't Mind But There Is A Teeny Bit Wrong With Your Belly Dance Costume)
Isn't that the slogan for UBDC already?

I live to serve! :dance::dance:
And you're right Mayra, about the older ladies. I had someone tell me last week at work that he knew a wonderful woman who took up belly dance at 65 and now at 70 travels to workshops and does performances with a troop. Now that is so inspiring!

But generally not too much around here goes without saying, as sooner or later someone is bound to blurt out something or other about just about anything!

Ah, my dear, that is the beauty of the thought provoking belly dance costume thread: somethings go without saying.

Political correctness has reached the dance costumes forum.
Oh, I dunno. I didn't see the issue as being political correctness. I saw it as being someone wishing to express a dissenting opinion.
Are you suggesting that only people allowed to post on threads are those who agree with you?
Are you saying that those who disagree are supposed to keep their disagreement to themselves?

Goodness, you read a lot into a single sentence. The short answer to your questions is "nope." Those desiring the long version, read on.
The issue is (and always has been) the use of the word "ugly." If you take time to read back through the UBDC thread you will discover a fair amount of discussion re: one woman's dream costume is another's nightmare. Given this dicotomy of opinions about many posted costumes, the politically correct thing to do would be to change the offending word to "thought provoking" or a similarly non-judgmental term. This thread was offered as a jest; any one not seeing the humor in it may certainly disagree at the top of their lungs or simply find something warmer and fuzzier to read.

Costume, etc.
Dear Shira,
May I introduce you to Shanazel? She is a beloved member of this forum and can have an actual conversation when she disagrees with someone, usually without getting nasty about it on any level. She believes that a dissenting opinion is just that and that those who have one are entitled to state it clearly without fear of hostile response.
