black and yellow veil or cape fusion piece to the beatles song blackbird and reclaim the "blackbird" word as a positive
what if you trimmed your veil edges with those lovely ostrich plumes that float so beautifully? and made a matching head dress?
the head dress...not the costume for bd
and here is a link to sketches of las vegas show girl costumes at the university of las vegas library. sure to be some inspiration there
http://digital.library.unlv.edu/cdm4...CISOBOX1=split
if you build context around the costume, it could become a fantastic trademark number

Of course, I have the boa! But I used it for a torch song with Dancers of Denial a few years ago (Latifa's troupe) ..... Have we met? You are not really in Afghanistan, are you? I am intrigued -- I must know who you are!!

I loved him, through the whole season. I had taped it, and when I watched them, I loved it, really, really loved it.

.... by the way, his name is Hok (phonetically, "hawk")! |
THREADJACK!
I LOVED Hok. The hummingbird piece was my favorite on the show, (followed closely by Mia Michael's flower piece...the one that made EVERYONE cry)
I adore Wade Robeson's choreography though...(His Zombie routine to "Ramalama Bang Bang" was SO amazing!)
Lauren: I LOVED your Hakim/James Brown costume. :) You wore that at the Nourhan show a couple years ago! :)

OK! I'm trying to talk her into doing something with this bird thing ......god knows I have enough boas to go around ....
(I wasn't part of her troupe, she was just nice enough to let me do some comic solos that they inserted into a couple of their pieces....it was great fun.....)

I'm trying so hard to be good and not make fun of these, in case someone here just bought them all and loves them.  |
