God, those hip drops at the end of this clip--wow! So strong. I have watched like six times!

So I just have to ask--people just sit there with their video cameras out, a la the guy in front of you (or I assume it was you who filmed this)? And no one minds?!

Seems like some new clips of Randa have been added to you tube in the last couple of days. I'll check them out!

Yep. I took this with my digital camera, two of the people with me had video cameras and no one minded. We weren't allowed to tape at the Dina show. The staff will come around and tell you if it's not alright
I'm trying to figure out how to upload a longer clip to show...can't do it on you tube because the file is too large

Try here :)

Monica, let us know when you have uploaded the longer Randa clip, so we can all watch it!

Randa's amazing, end of story. She's so strong and powerful.

Incidentally, my boobs are entirely real and if I could get them hitched that high and be certain they wouldn't fall out, I'd wear that style of bra in a flash. The higher the breast, the longer the torso, the slimmer the overall picture.

I tend to keep my breasts high for the same reason, even though it can be hell on my neck...but I have found that flash photos taken from low (seated) angles can render my breasts looking like crazy zombie melons due to the way a flash not only illuminates them but casts a shadow behind/above them.

But, because I am usually the only person posting pictures of myself, I get to edit those out.

You have a point about flash photography and the shadows and angles that it can create. Although in the case of Randa, I have seen her dance up front in person and her boobs really are that high.

Can any one remember Randas website address?

Yeah, I did notice that. I like it. I'm surprised that I like it because I though that holding your arms straight like that would look to robot-y, but it looks good.

[heinakuu]

website was www.randakamel.com but has now disappeared

[gympie4570]

thanks, yeah it has disappeared , very weird!! :) :)

[ChristinaRizkallah]

Yes, its offline the last time I check. Perhaps they are revamping or updating it. That web site is certainly in need of it for sure!

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..........

I think she is beautiful, has a perfect body for belly dance (although her bras are far too tight, lol) and her dancing blows my mind!

Im excited to train with her in Cairo.

[Vasha_Hatal]

Oh and she was the one who really got me into belly chains. she wears hers a little tight, yes, but now I wear one with almost every one of my costumes.

Agreed. I don't think this boobage trend is any weirder than the 50's/60's guided missile ideas . Must admit I don't think either one is all that attractive but, meh, it's the dancing that counts

Good point. I also don't think that boobage (it's French, you know ) trends are really meant to cater to womens' tastes.

What did guys see in those scud missile launchers?

[ChristinaRizkallah]

Those rhinestone belt chains also give the appearance of a smaller waist.

I think I first noticed the belly chains on Dina and yes, Randa wears them a lot too.
