Oooo! #2 is so Art Deco! Perfect. Perhaps up there with your very best. [Get costume for 'chelle. Little cheer-leader outfit is still interesting, but these new costumes offer great creative possibilities.] The Arab culture continues to puzzle me. Such a rich history and culture, with so many contradictions.

DOH! Never mind...didn't read the blurb under your first image, was too busy drooling over the dresses....

There were some really beautiful dresses and costumes at this festival. And the way these women could move ... oh sweet happy mother of hip-shaking. Whoever came up with this style of dance deserves a Nobel Prize and my undying gratitude. *WOOOF* -=>Donald

Beautiful! I love the movement you catch. I still need to learn about shutter speed myself. :o) Jinx

Oh Michelle I could let you borrow my belly dancer costume! ;) I think the first two dresses are the one in the same (wouldn't mind having one myself!) I like the color of the last dress though! Simply beautiful! Excellent work Donald! :) Brenda

Hehehe.... I used to belly dance with my mom when I was little kid back in the 70's.... my mom had this album full of that music, and she made me a little costume with material and we dance around the house.... TOO funny! You made me think of it just now!
