Yes, that is sad. I think it would be a challenge to be a vendor for Sahar. Even Dahlal only sells a few costumes at a time and she doesn't have a regular supply. She hasn't had a Sahar for a couple of months. I think its too hard to committ to that schedule that Sherif wanted you to commit to. I see why you say you would need a great website with great photos. That would be necessary to sell her designs. Yes, Hanadi does wear exclusively Sahar's as well as Soraya and Nancy. I think their Sahar designs are more minimalist than mine because of the fact that they go through them so quickly since they do many shows a week.

I thought they'd have to be introduced with a really hot website and great pics to get dancers interested even though they were minamalist. It's a tough costume market out there, but i thought once they took off, dancers would go crazy for them. I tried, but it wasn't meant to be.
I'm sure some of the smaller clubs are kinda stinky, but Dina has always danced at the big hotels and I saw Hanadi when I was there, and all she wore was Sahar. She was dancing on one of the Hotel Nile cruises on a pretty nice sized stage. In New York most of the nicer places don't have a stage. It's all dancing between stages. Only one, called Lafayette Grill has an actual performance space for the dancer. I usually only wear mine when I dance there....
