Life according to belly dancing . . . .

This is like my third attempt to combine dancers & politics. It's just not catching on!
SO, if you know anything about politics, I fer sure don't, please join this new tribe:

tribes.tribe.net/dancepolitics

I'd love to hear your opinions?

Hillary? Obama? That Republican? The Green Party?

I don't know . .

A Contest Belly Dancers should surely win! Deadline: May 19th

Dress up a window using hip scarves & veils as curtains and send it to:
articles@ readymademag.com (subject: MacGyver Challenge)

I recently picked up a copy of "Ready Made" a magazine for people who like to make stuff. It's basically a recycling magazine on how to make anything from a jewelry box to a house from recycled materials (jewelry box from an old monopoly board/housing & sheds from shipping containers) Their current issue touts a window dressing contest. BOING! Idea came to mind.

Now I am not good at this, I can't even throw throw-pillows nice. But I know someone else out there can win this! In fact I'm pretty sure I once saw it done, possibly Najia's in Philadelphia?

Anyway, the prize is a free subscription & a T-Shirt. But it's not about the prize!!! I repeat: IT'S not about the prize! It's about sharing the beauty of belly dance!

So come on, someone enter! In fact I just might give it a shot, too.

Please post your entry!!!

Attached is the info I clipped from the magazine.

And here is their website (no entry info there, only in the hard copy.)

I saw Bassem Feghali at the Nahr Al Fanoon restaurant in Lebanon two or three years ago.
He beat the pants off the belly dancer I waited all night to see.
I've been a fan ever since.
He must be getting more popular, I couldn't find anything on him back them, but I just searched youtube and found a BUNCH of great stuff.
