    It looks like an angry sack. Do not want...but I'll keep it in mind if I ever get hired to perform at a suicide bomber's wake. Sorry, but if I'm going to pay $1900 for a cover up, it sure better open down the front, so I don't have to shove full hair and makeup through a neck hole.

    It's from Nieman-Marcus (we call it "Needless Markup").

    Nuf said - they have an image to maintain which are outrageous prices and people will spend it too.

    I think it looks "OK", but remember what P.T. Barnum said...

    The owl was in the Tootsie Pop commercial. This was an ad for the Tootsie Roll candy itself. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qayjR8Qbyfc]YouTube - Tootsie Roll 70's Commercial[/ame]

    Re: $1900 for a belly dance coverup?

    If I wanted a silk cover-up, I'd buy a couple of rectangular A'Kai veils and sew them together. The rest of the money could go for a custom-order Bella and maybe even a cheap plane ticket to pick the darn thing up in person, lol!

    Yeah, that would complete the look. Too bad it's sold out. I was going to buy one in the hope that for $455, it was going to come with a couple of strands of Nicole Richie's hair caught in the jump rings. Now where am I going to get an overpriced, celebrity-designed piece of costume jewelry to catch in my hair?!

    That thing is hideous. It looks like something I'd cut up to use as cleaning rags around the house.

    I saw a Snuggie for the first time in a store the other day! It made me laugh because I keep seeing it mentioned on here.

    Now, who can find some really expensive hideous shoes to go with this ensemble?
