Re: My Egypt Vid

What I'm seeing in both costumes is an Egyptian dancer in costumes that have a LOT of coverage. She has no visible skin other than her neck, hands, and possibly her calves. As far as I know (Outi?) the less well known dancers in Egypt are required to stop the slits in their skirts at the knees. This particular dancer may wear the more covered up look to protect herself from harsh "critics" - those elements of her society (remember she seems to me to be an Egyptian, not a foreigner) who will say some pretty nasty things to her about being an Egyptian or muslim woman exposing herself in public and using her body to make money.
