True or False

[Bast]

False, but if I had to choose one I'd go for the dirndl.
True or false: Your boss :shok: turned up at a class or a performance and they didn't know you bellydance.

 

[Darshiva]

False. My boss knows I bellydance, for I AM my boss!

True or false: you get easily distracted during sewing projects & often end up with 3 or more things on the go at once (she says as she guiltily eyes the pile of bedlahs-in-progress on the work table.)

 

[Zorba]

False. My boss knows I bellydance, for I AM my boss!

True or false: you get easily distracted during sewing projects & often end up with 3 or more things on the go at once (she says as she guiltily eyes the pile of bedlahs-in-progress on the work table.)

True!

T/F: You have a not-so-secret love of "Eye Kandy" and similar cosmetics.

 

[Shanazel]

False. I hate wearing make up and do it only when necessary. (Weird kinda dancer, hmm?)

True or false: you got an eye infection from using old cosmetics.

 

[Amulya]

False, I do use it, but only the ones that don't do off (like powders, no liquid stuff)

T/F: you own more than 100 belly dance related DVDs

 

[Habibi L'amour]

False. I own one instructional DVD from the days before I began classes, and the DVDs from my school's concerts, that's it if you don't count occasionally watching belly dancers on Youtube.

True or False: You still own and play VHS tapes.

 

[Amulya]

Trueand false: I still own them, but no more video player. What to do with them? Some I want to convert because they are my own, the rest I can buy in DVD version again. But I have a few that I think won't be available. One was a really funny video of a very nerdy Morocan band and 2 belly dancers in strange costumes, but they were having so much fun. And some others of shows in Germany, I don't think those have been remade.

T/F: you secretly watch belly dance video clips at work

T/F: you secretly watch belly dance video clips at work

False: Can't watch any videos (YouTube or other) at work

True or False: Your bellydance wardrobe has more items than your everyday wardrobe....

 

[Zorba]

WAAAAY true! :lol:

T/F: Your favorite colors are "Shiny" and "Sparkly"!

 

[Shanazel]

Surprisingly, perhaps, the answer to that is false. I have a tribal costume heart inside a cabaret dancer.

True or false: you ever pretended to be someone you are not.

 

[Amulya]

True if pretending to be me counts otherwise no.

T/F: has the sound system at a gig ever stuffed up so badly that you had to dance without music?

 

[Darshiva]

False. I did lose my music at a big festival & asked the drummers to drum for me instead.

True or False: You have found sequins stuck to your arm (or other part of the body) that don't match any of your costumes, projects or clothes - ergo you have no idea where they came from - yet here they are!

 

[LadyLoba]

True...I have had that happen in theatre during a trip to a festival...but false that I didnt know where they came from. I was on stage crew...not acting...and when I went to clean up the dressing room, the school before us had not bothered to neaten up one bit, so I picked up red sequins trying to get their costume particles...crumbs from their backstage snacks, etc out of the furniture and carpets.

True or false: Someone has said something rude and untrue about belly dancing in your presence, not knowing that you belly dance.

 

[Amulya]

False, but did when they knew I was a belly dancer, included a stubborn ex! The post about that still floats around here somewhere on OD!
He claimed that some belly dancers dance topless. I told him that those are not belly dancers, the guy was so stubborn, it wasn't really about the correctness for him but just wanted to be right about everything *sigh*

T/F:
you encountered extreme diva/winey behavior backstage from another dancer.

 

[Darshiva]

False, but I'm sure I've come across that way.

True or false: your cat bats your elbow when she wants food.

 

[LadyLoba]

True. He will hit my elbow, my hand...the table when he's feeling especially brave...to get food.

True or false: You own the same costume in two or more colors.

(I'm a multiples addict myself..Ive got extra pairs of pants to go with suits...a stash of white shirts, etc..for business...and Im already wanting the costumes Im after in numerous colors )

 

[Amulya]

False, but 2 costumes in exact the same colour, I was rather dissapointed when I noticed that.

T/F: you have sacrificed a veil or some fringe for your cat to play with.

 

[Darshiva]

False. But she does think my isis wings are play things!

True or false: when going on holidays you decide the destination based on what workshops or private lessons you can take.

 

[Shanazel]

False. THough I would like a holiday to a workshop some time.

True or false: you ever performed in a costume that wasn't completely finished.

(Full disclosure: I've pinned myself into a costume at least once. In addition, when I got married my maid of honor actually had to sew the wrists and upper neck of my dress together before the ceremony. I made my dress and hadn't wanted to sew on the buttons until after I had the dress cleaned and pressed. Then I forgot and left the buttons at home- and we got married 160 miles away. That night my husband ceremoniously cut me out of my dress. )

 

[LadyLoba]

True...in theatre in college. Mine kept falling apart...so I was onstage missing pieces of it at many points in time.

True or False: You have made a major alteration to or investment in your appearance (grew out your hair, colored your hair, bought all new makeup, had an expensive salon treatment) just for belly dance.
