Akai extra-wide veil

Wow. I want more of these. I never want to dance with anything else again. All my regular-size veils feel like puny little hankies now. Every tall dancer should have one (or more) extra-wide veil.

Jes, is there a particular keyword I can set up an Ebay search for so I'll always know when one becomes available?

lol every dancer needs an ULTRALIGHT ..even smaller dancers can go with one that is shorter length..just make sure you have plenty of dance space to use one as they tend to flicker across people's plates at restaurants..careful of flames :)

Yeah once i used one of these veils the regular size seemed too dinky. The ultralights are made with the 5 mm super light silk..very light dreamy silk.

hmm keyword..probably Ultralight :)

glad you like I'm looking forward to pics :)

You can get an instructional on how to fly these babies right here

Please define "extra wide" -- are we talking 54" here? Or perhaps bigger?

yes, they are made from the 55 inch wide silk..I think it comes in 5 mm or 8 mm but 8 mm is too heavy and would be like slinging a bedsheet around :) 5 is lofty ..

Dang it, e-bay will only let me save my search for words in the title, not the body of the listing. So if you list any ultralights, make sure you use that word in the title, OK?

I'll have to try a few veil moves next time I put a clean sheet on the bed, just to try it out!!

I dug deeeeep into my costume closet and found another ultra wide I I had -- a four yard Sirena. The four yard ultrawide was just too much veil for me, so I'd set it aside and then I had it! I took about 18 inches off and now we're in love.

After the baby comes, we have to talk about an ultrawide Merkaba. Maybe more. But right now, just keep makin' that baby.
