Bellatrix does amazing work! She made a gorgeous belly dancing outfit for me that I love, makes me feel so much more confident and beautiful. She was very easy to communicate with, to hash out what I really wanted and needed, so the outcome was the gorgeous outfit of my dreams. The work was done in a very timely fashion, and the whole process was pain-free. I could go on and on, gushing over how happy I am - instead, I will just say that anyone who is considering having her make something, should proceed with confidence in her skill, design judgment, and professionalism.

Tempest is phenomenal when it comes to costuming. She could put a drag queen to shame (or make 'em proud) w/her knowledge of make up and most would be envious of her make CASE as well. :) She constantly inspires me to think outside the box when it comes to belly dance fashion and will always be my go to girl for costuming advice. Thanks for helping us all look amazing dahling. You try you like!

about me
I love pin-up girls, tattoos, vintage cars, and TALL men with wallet chains, gorgeous smiles & goatees. I love love love cookbooks, the Harry Potter series, and movies like Fight Club. I've been told that I have one of those smiles that lights up my whole face. I just might chuck it all to follow in Shirley Muldowney’s footsteps. I'd rather be playing craps at the Hard Rock Hotel in Vegas right now. I've been told that I'm brutally straight-forward, and I don't understand why honesty is such a rare commodity with most people. I get along well with most people who enjoy swing dancing, Kevin Smith movies, Las Vegas, BELLYDANCING!, theatre, Lowe's, concerts or live music, vintage cars, USC football, art galleries, Frank Sinatra, friendly debates, trying new foods and Vargas Girls...

As some of you may or may not know, Xira & I ordered some custom-made We3 items. When I placed my order, the listing said it would take UP TO 8 weeks for delivery. I am now sitting at FOURTEEN WEEKS since I placed my order & I *still* don't have it yet. What's worse is that this ENTIRE time, not ONCE has the vendor contacted me first to let me know about late shipments, etc. Each time, the promised ship date has come & gone and I have heard NOTHING from them, and have had to contact them ...

For those of you who don't know, Theresi P is a vendor here on Tribe, based out of San Fransisco, who recently had to close her physical shop due to medical (& therefore financial) issues. She is a single mom who is having to liquidate most of her inventory at below cost, simply to try to get some cash flow, any cash flow, going again. For the whole story, you can go here: tribes.tribe.net/monsoonva...0a07a7964a

An unnerving list of humble abodes, starting with the first one that I remember:
1) My grandparent's house with my mom. It took a little while before my dad, my mom & I all lived in the same house. For the first few years, it was just me and my grandpa and his cherry-almond ice cream from Zarda Dairy. I blame him for the ice cream weakness.
2) My dad's childhood house on Knox Avenue with my Aunt Annie & her husband. Never felt safe or comfortable there, though I couldn't tell you why ...

Re: WWYD with this fabric?
(in DIY/ Bellydance on a Budget)
Yeah, that's definitely screaming to be a vest or bra and some sort of belt. :)
