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

[Amulya]

circle overload?

:shok::shok::shok:

 

[Jane]

Ok, the circle one got me confused, that one would be great on a weird festival with people taking hallucinogenic drugs:shok:

Idea for another troupe besides the bouillabaisse troupe?

Troupe Migraine :lol:

 

[gisela]

Or Troupe Hypnosis
There are quite a few costumes with spiraling boob circles that could find a place in that troupe.

 

[PracticalDancer]

Troupe Migraine :lol:

Having a mild migraine right now, I concur!

 

[Shanazel]

Now there's a name for a dance troupe: Migraine! (Pronounced like Mirage with the accent on the last syllable.) Specializing in visual effects, fiery poi balls (that always sounds like something to eat at a luau), flashing swords, and mind boggling op art costumes.

 

[Amulya]

Migraine hypnosis maybe?

For clarification - I "like"d this post, but the concept makes me nauseous. It's all too easy to imagine.

I LOL'd at the pink/blue one Daimona posted even before I'd scrolled down far enough to see the nekkid bra. The headdress looks better in the linked picture though. The bra doesn't. :shok:

As for Circle Overload, ugh, what were they thinking? I like an amusingly themed costume as much as the next person (probably more :redface, but that's just a mess.

Tribal Peacock Feather Belly Dance BRA custom by sajeeladesign
I totally need one of these for the next hafla

Wow! The only problem with something like this is that I'd be afraid to wear it because I'd be over-aware of getting it all sweaty and ruining the feathers.

I think this costume is really pretty, but what is that thing hanging from the bra? It seems so random. If it was my costume, I would remove that. The second costume is gorgeous, I think. It's a Pharaonics Key of Life - love the assiut and the turquoise and coins.

 

[Shanazel]

It's kinda like when you put your jeans on right out of the drier and halfway through the morning realize you have a sock stuck up one leg.

 

[Darshiva]

I have to admit it does look fun to play with. But I'd rather tack a veil into the costume for a one-off performance than have it there 24/7.

 

[Amulya]

Wouldn't that whack a dancer (or audience) in the face? It looks heavy so it could cause accidents

Is it attached? :think: To me it looks like the top was put on over the veil, i.e. they're not necessarily one piece. If it is one piece, then I'd rip that off pronto too.

 

[Shanazel]

It looks like part of the strap that goes around the back of her neck and just didn't know when to quit.

This is what I thought as well.

When the spirals are on the cups I call them hypno-tits, but all over circles? I dunno. This reminds me of the tab top chains we made as kids from soda and beer cans.

 

[Shanazel]

*snork* hypno-tits. There's one for the vocabulary thread.

 

[Amulya]

We already have hypno-boobs in the dictionary but can add hypno-tits as a variant of that one haha.

$400 for plastic beads and gems with upholstery trim?

 

[Jane]

If I was any good at that stuff, I'd photo shop Dina into this "belly dance costume." The shortage of hooded belly dance cardigans has finally ended.

Read the item description.

I need a leather holster to carry my chapstick for those future dystopian underground belly dance meetings? Gosh, I thought I'd just put it on before I left.
