Thread: Be cautious when dealing with Nightwish/Dream Kitaro.

Be cautious when dealing with Nightwish/Dream Kitaro.

It looks like she's had transactions on Bhuz that have gone off without a hitch in regards to smaller ticket items…so I'm not saying to avoid her all together, but be aware of some issues on threads when Bhuzers have questioned her on the authenticity and prices of her larger ticket items as well as her identity.

She erased all trace of trying to sell a costume http://www.bhuz.com/bellydance-swap-...eils-sold.html here…after people questioned that she was drastically up-pricing cheap-goods.

The (now deleted) costume whose authenticity was question was this one:

(and if that gets deleted, I've made a copy and a screen shot)

I think all trace of selling a similar bedlah was removed from here…including by the person who questioned the authenticity …but I'm not sure, I remember it being the same sort of costume as the one in the Akai Silks and stuff post.

Many of us will find her pictures and website familiar because there was a big hubbub on a thread here…when she asked for feedback on her first website and then got very very angry when multiple Bhuzers (including myself, Shira, Crystalized, Texas Ruya, Satinworship and others ) pointed out that sections of the copy on her page were lifted from the pages of other dancers. The way she handled the issue was memorable for all of us involved.

Now she is posting under another Bhuz name and when I asked her why, she became belligerent and denied everything. Other buzzers on the same sale thread questioned her claims about her costume and her identity.

It's insulting. And while I admit that I should have stepped away from the thread much earlier and am embarrassed that I didn't. My behavior was not the best but I was personally insulted at the insinuation that I was fabricating evidence despite others pointing out the same things and other accusations.

So, please, Bhuzzers, be careful. As I said, I should have stepped away from the thread a long time ago and am now, but I am making sure that dancers who "exclude shopping" are aware of the issues in case her reasons for creating a second Bhuz identity are more than just wanting a new start.

I hope she comes clean, picks a single identity, and works her way out of this hole... because she seems to be a lovely dancer.

It also seems that she will bring up a personal tragedy she is going through every time someone questions her about her actions, which I think has been at least somewhat affective in getting people to back off from their criticisms.

Yeah, the website discussion was emotionally rough for everyone who was involved (as you well know) because of that. Personally tragedy can go along way to explain a person's actions in situations but when it is used to shutdown the issues being addressed it can feel like rough emotional blackmail.
