New BELLA Black Coin Bellydance Costume *RARE* - eBay (item 150269697418 end time Jul-17-08 17:42:18 PDT)

it's Tanya's body in the pic, at least it looks kinda like her to me.. but it's not her selling it.

[naiyahayal]

I saw that last night! I think I remember she sold it -- this is not her listing ..... did you see the sentence about "we have no pets in our house" and the two cute little kitty feeders are right there in the picture ..... I wonder if they have Tanya's permission to use the pictures?

[latriamou]

i mean, they don't have her head in the pics. and i know everyone uses people's pics but the listing says she got it from bella's website.
if they aren't tanya's pics, she has a body double!

[kina]

yep, and it looks like Tanya's description as well.

[Surida]

I think we have all drooled over enough of Tanya's costumes to spot her pics in a flash!

i just saw the feeders...

here's the thread where Tanya listed it...

NEW Coin Bella! NOW $750! on ebay!

[latriamou]

you're right. it's exactly her description.

[TanyaLV]

Hi all! Yes it is me...and she asked to use my pix. She bought that fab Bella from me! It's all good...thanks for watching out!
Love ya!

[naiyahayal]

feels good to know we're watching out for each other .....

[thaliadances]

Oh remember this well when Tanya was selling. I love it, but again, I love these black costumes on other bodies!!!!!

i love bella (not as much as sim cos's but..) and love the workwomanship that goes into these and i'm not doubting that this is the real price of the costume BUT

wouldnt it almost be just as effective to achieve this coined look by buying an inexpensive black hipscarf, an l rose velvet skirt (or chiffon maybe dahlal) and sorta building it yourself? I'm not meaning to sound snarky at all but unless these are real coins i just cant see spending that kind of cash on stamped coins..only because it seems the whole look can be created for rather cheap...

[Sheritra]

i always thought shipment from the US is only 30USD and the Auction says 70 USD...... That's a lot

[txchic]

The listing states 'pet free house' yet it is obvious there is or has been cats or dogs around the costume. I have a child with severe allergies to most pets (sad), purchasing that costume could have caused major medical problems. I understand TanyaSF approved the use of her info but that is misrepresenting a product that could lead to serious medical issues is not only wrong it is dangerous.

i dont think it was in tanya's listing that the home is pet free. tanya's home is definitely not ( as evidenced by the feeders)

Hey thanks! I just looked this back up to respond...hoping nobody thought that was entirely my description. I have alot of animals and would never say I didn't to sell a costume. Parts of it are from the original and I am sure her house IS pet free.
I don't like there to be any mis-understandings...


Also this is a very elaborate costume. I know there was mention that it would be easy to make one cheaper. But even with the coins not being heavy...there is alot of work and stones and such in this costume. The cut is fantastic and it really is stunning in person.

OK..it is not me selling...but I do have to attest to it's beauty!
Happy Dancing !

Ladies, I saw this costume the day it arrived (with great anticipation) and again last night and can attest that it is truly special and in pristine condition. If you are lucky enough to be tall enough to carry this costume, it would be an amazing "go-to" basic black but not so "ordinary". I would have snatched it up if my measurements were slimmer! This is a fellow Bhuzzer you are talking about and certainly no harm was meant. I also drool over every one of Tanya's costumes, not to mention being envious of her body. Happy bidding-- I love you girls and all the cool stuff :)

[latriamou]

hi lizzy. i dont think we were attacking anyone or saying any harm was meant. we just wanted to make sure tanya was protected. also, i didnt even notice the feeders, they were pointed out. it may be hurting the selling of the costume- i figured it was a bhuzzer so perhaps that will help her adjust her auction and sell the costume.
i would fit it and it is pretty, i'm just not a coin gal.

Hi All
I am the one selling the Bella..I just found out about this thread..I bought it from Tanya and when I went to wear it I discovered I am to short =( As I dance barefoot..I bought it on Ebay so I offered it first on Ebay..I also asked her permission to use her stuff..She very sweetly said yes =)..So I used her words and added some of mine..I do have a pet & smoke free house..So it is coming from a pet free house..Sorry I did not know Tanya had pets..But I am pretty sure she did not let her pets near the Bella =)I have 2 sons who are cat & dog allergic w/ asthma..So sorry for any misgivings..
