Zorba, I have a different take after thinking a lot about your last reply. Regardless of gender, there are just certain professional standards for costumes and wearing things that are flattering for your body type.

I feel like I should approach this the same way I might approach any other bhuzzer who posts a photo of themselves in a costume that I think needs work. My gut feeling is that the costume above still doesn't quite have the professional level feel to it. Any time you have a hipwrap with coins or fringe, it looks like class attire rather than professional costuming to me. Granted, this is really nice class attire, but it just doesn't rise to the professional performance standard of costuming.

You know I take issue with the idea of "genderlessness"--the idea doesn't appeal to me at all--but taking the gender discussion out, you may want to consider how to continue to tighten up your look. As I mentioned earlier, the color scheme has improved a lot, now I think it's time to focus on a really glittery adornment for your hips.

Maybe others have ideas. I will definitely think about it.
