is it a "seven veils" clip? (Somehow watching embeddings doesn't work on my computer anymore so I have to quote the post and copy the numbers from there
)
I thought she was a good dancer. The veil-thing was not great. It looked weird to have all those veils around her waist and the "getting rid of them" was a bit awkward as well. IMO she was a good enough dancer to fill out the number with just nice dancing.

It plays on so many stereotypes, I just find it depressing really

Agree on the clip, the cheap cliches definitely got in the way. And brown leggings is an odd last layer.
That book sounds hilarious. Never mind Arabian beauty queen, I'd look like a badly wrapped mummy or some sort of gigantic cocoon with that many scarves and veils. And I'd have it in the back of my mind that what he really wanted in exchange for 30 veils worth of flattery would be some peace and quiet and for me to STOP BRINGING BELLY DANCE INTO EVERYTHING, please?ray:
:lol:

Number 18 Belly Dancer Biker Chick Leave him a note on the mirror "You are looking at the sexiest man on earth. Tonight,come and join the sexiest woman on earth for a fun-filled wild night in the bedroom"
...be dressed in a black leather jacket with a black leather mini-skirt or tight leather pants and black high heeled boots. Belly dance in this outfit before you take it all off for him.
What on earth's wrong with saying "Fancy a sh*g?"

You bad girls! I'm cracking up here....:lol:
Must say I don't find her a very good dancer though. She reminds me of a 15 year old girl in one of our classes who dances much like her, wild and uncontrolled technique. To me she looks young, she might have potential, but does not know much about the dance (yet). I think this might have been a play or something? The tearing off your 'costume' and then ending up in brown tights to me looks waaaaay wrong (and her tights seemed lobsided and showing something I didn't really like seeing....:think
Must go and think happy things.
Dear Lizaj and Gisela, I think I definitely wouldn't be single much longer if I went outside looking like a badly wrapped mummy in colourful scarves saying I'm an Arabian Beautyqueen that needs to be unveiled. Though people might think I've gone nuts..
I think "fancy a ****" would get me waay more men....... Wait, I could start a Harem!!! and a new book!!! How to please your multi-veiled Arabian beautyqueen.....:shok:
Reversing the biker fantasy might look hilarious though....:lol: Popcorn anyone?

I'm guessing that chapter 19 might offer us a clue to the "combat belly dance" thread!
Ladies, you are comedy gold, I have tears in my eyes! Couldn't imagine Jo Brand offering a dryer commentary on this novel, Liza! More please, more!
I lost interest in the veil dance thing, I had that song on my 'potentials' list with a half-choreographed veil thing but am now going to think of this seven veils thing when I hear it :think:

Oh, I must have that translated into ancient Egyptian so that I can recite it next time my husband wants to unwrap me. I'm not sure I have enough veils to do the cocooning properly, though. :think: I do have some nice new bath sheets that might work in a pinch. But alas! Even with my best bath sheets, I'm not sure this will go over well with my husband. The first time I came swishing into the bedroom (some thirty years ago) wearing what I thought was a devastatingly sexy nightgown, my beloved said, "Are you going to wear that to BED?" Told him I damned well was if he couldn't figure out a way to get it off me. Sigh. He's a dear man, but does like to get right to the heart of matters.
I think I might have to find a copy of this book, LizaJ. You realize, of course, it is the newest version of those seventies please your man books: Fascinating Womanhood and Total Woman? I do like the biker scenario, though. I could borrow his chaps and leather jacket and seduce him on the Yamaha Virago in the driveway. Yee-hah! That oughta set our dogpack howling.
No, Alosha, you are not alone. I think both the concept and the execution were ill advised, particularly the part where she stripped down to her long underwear. Might go over well at elk camp 2000 feet above snowline, but looks a little strange on stage. Maybe if she carried a bath sheet with her...

I agree with ya'll and would like to post something on the you tube video about the inappropriateness of it without pissing her off. *sometimes have trouble being diplomatic* She's only 22, which I found out by clicking on your her you tube user name which took me to her page.

So she may not know the implications of this, as you say 'ill-advised' little show.

..Create a Sacred Space. "...can be as simple as tidying up the room (OOops failed that one) and lighting candles (hell smoke alarm goes off..) to walking counter (anti I think that means) around the space three times to dispel negative energies ( take more than three in my house). For a distinctly Arabian atmosphere, you can create a tent-like (most Arabs I know abut seem live in houses and apartments) with beautiful ornate pillows.
Ho hum who's been living in a John Hanson film (movie)
