Zorba
"The Veiled Male"
The costume thread with the "cool but dangerous chain" got me to thinking...
What about performance mishaps caused by costuming or props? We've all had a few, let's share!
My favorite among many - I was doing a Sa'idi cane dance once upon a time where I was wearing one of those super long fringe/string skirts. Twirl the cane, smack the floor, rear foot comes up. Toes get majorly tangled in the strings. Hop around on one foot dis-entangling myself. Just on the off chance that someone in the audience missed this wondrous display of skill and grace, I did it again a couple of minutes later facing the other way with the other foot! I haven't worn one of those infernal string belts since then!
