Loved what you did girl !!! Bravo !
Have to describe something i saw with my own eyes !
Cairo, NileGroup festival, with the live band is dancing one russian girl.
Yousef is singing, the band is Saffaa.
So from the begining seemed something not going ok with the bra, at the middle of the song the back place breaks ! the 2 helpers of Aida Nour (that had made the costume) go ON stage, while the band goes into a canoon taqasim, the dancer continue's to shimmy and they are behind her with the small box sewing ON Stage the bra !
All people clapping, and after a great drum solo !

Wow wow wow Cassandra, love your dancing and love the strap as a new prop . That was really cool. First off when I watched the clip I must say I hadn't read the clear strap thing and was just amazed at the confidence and energy you showed and the bra staying on so perfectly. I agree with Aniseteph so bad haha, hip flooffies rock!
I must say I also LOVE Lulu's video and definitely adore Maria's description. Oh my, I always hope I will have a 'good moment' when a malfunction happens. When my bra came undone once at a restaurant I was lucky for a middle strap I'd sewn in between the straps around my neck to hold the shoulder ones in place, but still had to put my arms close to my body and kept dancing trying to keep it on lol.
Last malfunction I had was literally ALL of my arm accessories from the same costume coming off during my veil entrance. They all just slid down one by one and I had to keep dropping my veil from one hand to throw my costume pieces to the back of the stage....:lol:. It made for a very interesting ehm.... mergence.... Nope, bellydancers USUALLY don't strip lol.
As a side note, can I ask if anybody knows what song is that in the Lulu video?
(you know you're a moderator of the music section when....) Thanks
Edited to add: DOH! I have that song.... It's Layalina
(you know a moderator of the music section is tired when...)

I don't have a costume yet, but I know how the bra strap thing goes...even on my bras I wear with my regular clothes...the ones I have now..the old style Second Skin Satin from Victoria's Secret...have straps that stretch out and don't snap back for some weird reason, so the rest of the bra fits, but the straps are too big....very annoying.
If I ever do get a belly dance costume, I'm going to be the most nervous about the accidental flashing variety of costume malfunctions...especially in the skirt area.

Two words: TOUPEE TAPE!
I don't leave the dressing room without having my chest taped into my costume, my skirt taped to my thighs, hip wrap taped to hip area on skirt, headwrap taped to head, and of course underwear pinned and taped to skirt.
Toupee tape is STRONG but I swear by it. Plus taking it off is sort of like a cheap version of a chemical peel. LOL.
