Have you ever made a replica "historical" costume for a performance?
Do you or have you owned a well known designer costume?
Have ever made your own that you are particularly proud of?
Why am I asking ? Because....at long last I have started on a project to try to get together a history of belly dance costuming...(spooky that question of yours, Desna
)
The wheels are in motion I have 2 short articles written for the magazine of am editor of (if I still have a job after the first issue
)
I hope to expand on these and carry on to complete a not definitive tome but hopefully well researched and illustrated one and that this may make some money for the "Just because" charity if they'll have it
. I also want to dedicate it to Madam Abla's memory.
Yes I know how hard it will be to get it published but I think there could be a demand for it, if I can get it pitched right and priced right.I've got the time and inspiration and have emailed dancers of some note to ask for their help and may call upon you for more info.....pretty please.....
Sooooooo
What do I beg from you ladies..well photos(really good ones) and a bit of background and your well loved and admired costumes of note
er no I won't do an UGBD chapter
