What Were They Thinking?

It is hard keep up with posting: the costumes are coming in quicker then they can be posted! There is a scary collection looming out there...

How often do we have to remind EBay sellers that these things are NOT belly dance costumes...

Ebay: there's a lot of crap here, but some really good stuff, too. Watch out for the costumes that are made up of coin bras & panties (?!??!?!?!), the ones that are basically halloween costumes, and the ugly pointy-boobed ones. I always read the feedback on the seller and look to see if anyone is bidding on any of their items. You'll find the most stuff by searching under "belly dance" or, if you want to narrow the list, try "belly dance hip scarf" "belly dance costume" "belly dance veil" etc. Sometimes you'll find other things by spelling it all together as one word (bellydance) or a variation (bellydancer, bellydancing, belly dancer, belly dancing)

Some years ago it became fashion to have starfish, shells and other sea creatures on belly dance costumes. On Bhuz someone came with the idea to use these costumes to create a dance troupe... the Bouillabaise Dance Troupe!
