I love that. We could create some of our own. Zoe the Zilling Zinnia! Raqs Radish Rita! Bonnie the Baladi Berry! Valeri the Veil-dancing Violet! Taqsim Tangerine Theresa! OK, am I getting too silly?

The 'Big Belly Oak' of Savernake Forest, Wiltshire, England. In 2001 it was fitted with an iron girdle to stop it from splitting in two - an addition that just needs a few beads hung from it! At over 1,000 years old it gives the more mature bellydancer a bit of inspiration!
