This is a tiny pet peeve...and certainly might offend many folks out there.
I really don't like veils used for dancing unless they are silk. I don't know if this is as much a HATE veils thing or more of a LOVE silk thing. But regardless...I don't ever love watching veil work if it isn't silk. (perhaps with the exception of Isis wings...which is altogether different).
And I do also hate harem pants, glitter dot, hermes sandals, 80s headbands, hair gardens...and all the other grotesque & cheap trailer-trash types of costumes.
I think it would be really funny for someone with outstanding photoshop skills to put together all the horrible offending costume pieces into one image. hahahahaha!!!
