Thread: another take on the snake...costume that is

Found this on the bellydance store website today. I can get on board with this design. I love the way the snake is flat, not 3-d ( a big downfall on the other snake costume from the bd store in a recent thread). I especially like the rear snake that coils around the body's curves. The tummy connector snake is a bit chubby but...maybe it just ate a raqs beaver or belly bunny or something.
I could never do the light beige color, I'd prefer a different base color for the costume if I ever bought one like it, but I like this design. Caveat: would remove the flickering red snake tongue that appears to be ready to lick the model's bosoms. .w.:
Weigh in people.

Hmmm...it's not as "my eyes! my eyes!" to me as the other but I still don't love it. I don't mind the skirt snake but I don't like the torso snake, as it just sort of hangs there...right in the middle of the nether-regions. Perhaps you are correct though, a differently colored costume might make it all better.

To paraphrase the words of the wise Samuel L. Jackson:

"I've had it with these mothaf*ckin' snakes on these mothaf*ckin'....costumes!!!!"

Yeah you're right, the front snake is kind of...um....flaccid. Maybe I'm just happy its a snake that doesn't resemble a giant hot dog coiled around someone's torso.

Why are the snakes always flesh-colored? They always look like phallic symbols to me. Stretched out, elongated, flaccid phallic symbols....w.:

I don't know if I would buy it, even if I had money... It has a bit of Carnival flavour...

I'm not thrilled with the construction on the snake detail - it seems to get more and less wide at certain points, which makes me think of a snake that's just eaten dinner. ..c:: And the edges of the snake look wonky to me, like they don't quite lay flat. I'm puzzled by the random segment o' snake on the right bra cup, too.

I like Jillina's pink snake costume much better than this one.

i don't like it.
haha satin. i am tired of these snakes on costumes too lol

Hate the snake! I have yet to see a costume with a snake on it that I would be willing to wear. I don't even like the snake print fabric that I've seen costumes made out of.

They have a snake costume right now (at least it strikes me as a snake. . . cant see its head in the pics though) that I totally LOVE (and would totally buy if I had money to blow right now):

see now I can't get behind the 3-d tube snake concept. I do like the rich brown fabric though.

The only Snakes on a Plane costume I've recently LOVED was an emerald green Eman for sale at Diana Tarkhan's workshop in Manhattan. You really couldn't tell it was a snake unless you looked at it up close, and the snake was covered with bright green jewels.

It almost looked like a Pharaonics Spiraling Jewels that, on second glance, happened to also be snaky.

now that one i don't mind as much because it's not as blatant as the other. but i don't like where the snake's head is....c::

and shahla, i don't usually like snake print either..or lizard print for that matter. it always reminds me of those movies where they have a rich pimp or gangster with their alligator/snake/lizard print or whatnot shoes and whatnot..haha

Yeah, I guess it's "no" to any type of reptile or amphibian print for me. Faux animal prints, I love though.

I am not into animals, reptiles, monkeys etc. And for the price... that is ridiculous, IMO.

I was wondering why the snake looked so lumpy. My mind went to road kill, but I like the idea that it just ate instead!

I can't get my picture to upload. I wanted to share my snake goddess costume I just made. You can go to my flikr site and see it, I guess. Wierd, it shows up as a video-but if you click on it, you can see the costume.

Latriamou, how did you get it to post like that? Here's kind of a close up.

the bronze one is amazing.
the beige one - uhm it looks like the wearer hunted the snake down, killed it and attached it to the costume as a trophy.. or sacrifice to the goddess.
Seriously, why attach a snake to the costume and not let it sensually snug around the wearer?

the burgundy one is HOT.

FYI click on the flicker "title" to go to the picture. Its not showing up in the post for me but the title is like a link. Love the burgundy.

Wow, that is so much nicer than the other ones posted here, or Jillina's pink snake, for that matter. Good job!

This costume is lovely! I like that the snake changes the top edge of the skirt.

Totally agree!

Hmmmm, nope - I don't like it.

I think I've decided that I don't like snakes ON a costume. Or any kind of identifiable picture on a costume (if you know what I mean). But I still desperately, desperately want a snakeskin print costume. Because I am tacky.

I don't know - the first costume (the beige one) looks like there is just a dead snake hanging.
The snake looks totaly... dead.
