When I see Jillina's early costumes (the ones on the first BDSS DVD), they remind me of Nagwa Fouad. Nagwa always tried to wear something very different. Some people liked her costumes, some people didn't, but they talked about them -- and that made Nagwa more widely recognized. (Especially that sea creatures costume!)

Lots of people have talked about Jillina's pink snake costume (as we're doing now, years later) and I think Jillina got a lot more name recognition because of that. If she had worn a pink Pharaonics for that drum solo, maybe she wouldn't be as well known now. So whether you like her funky early costumes or not, I think she was smart to wear them....
