You knooooooowwwwww, those "belly chains" are not exactly "new" - in the 80's very slender dancers would sometimes wear what we called "waterfall bead chains" around their waist becuase it made them look curvier; and they would do all sorts of flutters & contractions which made these beads move up and down (Una, Asia are both great examples of master belly bead chain flutterers). Curvier types such as moi, did not wear these "belly bead chains" exactly for the reason that we did not need more curves on hips/belly; it would have been distracting. What is new about the chains now I guess is that they are lots tighter and actually I think Randa's costuming would look better without the chain - I think it distracts from her gorgeous strong and obviously toned but curvy abs & hips. The glitter may be a bit much but could be photos - and as for the bra, well, that's how they wear 'em in Cairo (shrug) - and back then "in the day" we were just as "boob obsessed" in the Arab clubs and padded our bras to heck and gone with all sorts of *materials* besides foam push up pads which tended to "migrate" unless you sewed them into costume bra cups FIRMLY. It's nothing new to strive for that "fluffed up nightclub boobage look". Oh, and we prayed the girls wouldn't "settle back down into bra cups" by end of 45 minute show..........
