Eeeeek! Ugly Costume

[leenanyc]

Ok, I personally don't like this costume and I think it must sound awful when you shimmy probably something like a slinky noise.

Do you mean the Cirque de Chaux, the lime green one with the huge paillettes and the skirt made out of rings?

I actually like it, but I like a touch of weirdness in belly dance costumes now and then. But I would never pay $574 for something like that. I appreciate the creativity though.

Yes, thats the one! I agree it is very different.

Ånyone with a hip size bigger than 30 inches would look like a 'eat as much as you can' platter.

I have mixed feelings about it:not sure if i like it or find it ugly .Would need to see it in person.On the other hand,the color is beautiful.!

It reminds me of those long beaded 'curtains' people hang in their doorways...

that would be how I would look in it. Horrifying!

It's a capiz shell hanging lamp from the 70's come to life! I must admitt...I do like it better than the one that looked as thought your left breast had been shot in mid flight and several gun blasted feathers had fallen and become attached to your hip. You know the one....

Oh, it's not that bad. I've seen worse. Just my opinion.

it's has a very seashore feel to me....like a mermaid wrapped in seaweed. i couldn't pull that costume off...it wouldn't look good on my body type. it could add bulk to a smaller dancer who wanted to look larger????

[tamrahennatx]

I love it!

[tahiradancer]

See, and for all the reasons mentioned above, I think it's cheese-tastic! Much like the beanie baby costume.

Eh... the first thing that popped in my mind when I saw it was Sigmund from Sigmund and the Seamonsters!

OK, now I MUST have it.

The circles of fabric go all the way to the floor. My big toe would slip right in there and pull the whole affair..shorts and all ...right below my knees...ta dah...

That was my first thought! That said, though, I think a dancer with the right personality and body type could totally pull it off. The thing I find about paillettes is that while they can look a bit cheap/tacky up close, they look fabulous under lights and just a bit further away.

I love the color!

[Whisper]

I think I like it too - but looks to be super impractical. I imagine I'd be hooking everything I dance past to end up with a slew of adornments that weren't there when I came out in it...

I like it, I think it'd be perfect for the Coney Island Mermaid Parade. Though I can't seriously picture myself wearing it at any other venue.

Actually, I think you could pull this off! Your slender body is perfect + your cheerful personality and even more than that I think this shade of green would look great on your skin.

It reminds me of Suhair Zaki's blue dress with the giant paillettes hanging from the bottom--for that reason alone I like it, though that color would make me look like death warmed over. I see the Sigmund and the Sea Monsters resemblance, but that makes me like it even more :-)

[jesennia]

i like it too but wouldnt wear it for a restaurant gig..maybe a carnival/festival type dealie

[tamrahennatx]

Shelloooooooo!

I just put Sigmund on layaway!
