New Costume!

On a more personal note, I thought I’d share the excitement of my new costume. I waited a very long time for this outfit, and here it is!

THE belly dancing outfit. The detail is just wonderful, although it’s hard to see it in this photo. I spent a very long time looking for sellers of smaller belly dancing outfits as most were for a much bigger bust size! Luckily, I found one – based in China.

Most of the sellers on Ebay with reasonable but good quality items appear to be based in China. It’s worth the postage wait though.

I plan to wear this for a hafla I am attending later in the year. We are just learning to use finger cymbals which are not my favourite prop, but that’s because they’re extremely hard! On another note, I have still not performed a dance for my boyfriend :-/ Before I do, I plan to have a full choreographed dance and need a good few weeks to practice. Not only that, I have a feeling he will see it as a ‘tease’ dance like most people do, and not understand the passion and expression behind it. No matter how long you’ve been with someone, if they don’t see your point of view on something then chances are they never will. I feel I will only dance for him when he understands it’s not just about a good shimmy.
