They have velvet hip scarves that look a little fancier than the plainest ones I've seen out there, and they are still around $20. I've got a class coming up and may need a bunch.

In a workshop this past weekend, we did an Indian dance to 'Bhumbro Bhumbro' but it was not the version from 'Mission Kashmir'. It was more of a remix that was slower with more powerful beats. Have any of you come across something like that?
Not too long ago someone here on the site posted a video of an Indian girl doing Indian dance. Now I can't find it to show it to someone, and I've looked in this forum, in the styles forum, and in the performance forum. Do any of you remember it?
A friend and I are thinking about going to that Ansuya thing at the end of this month, but then I heard that hotel tax in Houston is 30% !!!!! That's robbery !!!! So do any of you know of some good places to stay that aren't too over-the-top expensive?
How about college dorms (I've heard they...
Found a costume I adore but there's no way the belt is going to fit me as it is. Since it is in two pieces, I thought about sewing a little matching "extender" bit of cloth at each side. Have any of you ever heard of doing anything like this?

This just came out just a couple of months ago. Do any of you have it and review it? I have a drum solo DVD of hers that I think it is great, so I was considering this. I'm wondering...
We probably all have a few hip scarves that we used when we started but no longer use. What are some decorating tips for them? I thought about tying them around lampshades, but is that a fire hazard? I figure the lampshade isn't catching on fire, so would the hip scarf?
I bought a couple pairs of used zils and would like to brighten them up. I googled for general brass cleaning tips, but found every web site had a different home remedy. So I thought I'd ask the zils experts: what do you all use? I don't think these are heavily soiled, so I'll start with a...
How many of you are perfume addicts? I am, and I make my own bath & body stuff and candles so I've got plenty to play with. :D Other than the stuff I make, I buy from Arcana Soaps (they have perfume oils too), Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, and Heaven and Earth Essentials.
I would love to get...
I have found a costume I like but the bra seems too flimsy for me. Is there something I can do to beef it up? I don't want to change the exterior look of it but my 34Ds need more uplift. I can probably sew grosgrain ribbon under the straps and band that goes around your rib cage to make them...
I'm about to order these, but thought I would see if any of you have them, have learned all you're going to off them, and want to get them out of your way and get some of your money back. Thanks!
Both their phone number and web site are no longer working. :( Just wondering if any of you knew anything definitive.
Edit: I've been ordering hip scarves from them. They have several models (Vegas, Aphrodite, Shakira) that have lots of coins, are heavy, nice sound when shimmying, and...
A friend of mine has very long but thinnish hair. I think it's beautiful but she wishes it was thicker. What are her options as far as hairpieces she can use and leave her hair loose (not a clip-in ponytail), that will hold up in a high-ernergy performance?

I know that question sounds dumb, but they call it a "half circle skirt" and if you look closely at the part of the skirt that is being held up in the picture, it looks like you can see a...

Dahlal is out of what I wanted for an informal performance coming up, so I'm going to create something out of fabric because I'm bored with what I've been wearing. I figured this would be a good opportunity to start a thread about super simple and easy costume ideas.
I want to take a long...
For some reason I love the aqua colored top with pink sari skirt in the small picture to the upper left here:

I'm thinking of getting it (actually something similar. since they can't guarantee exactly what's in the pics) for casual...
The other girls I bellydance with and I are interested in a group trip to Egypt or anywhere like that. Basically a bellydance themed vacation. I know some of you have done a lot of bellydance themed travel, so where do I start? Is there some travel agency already specializing in this that...
