about me
I own Qamar's Treasures, a primarily web based business specializing in Bellydance costuming accessories. I design and make Sleevie Wonders, which are beautiful flowing arm gauntlets, available in an ever changing array of colours. Additionally, I am an authorized distributor of Eye Kandy Cosmetic glitter, and sell hip scarves, bindis and ethnic jewelry. My Business profile is located here:
people.tribe.net/qamars_treasures
My storefront website is located at tribes.tribe.net/qamarstreasures

In my non-dance life, I am a traveling nurse working three 13 hour shifts a week, which leaves approximately three and a half full days for pursuing my passions, amongst which is bellydance. I have an overdeveloped sense of humour and a penchant for obscenely bright colour combinations, manifested both in dance attire and in outrageous scrubs for work.

My two coppers...

I must be moving up in the world. I got the following email this morning and found it VERY amusing. Somehow I don't think I need to worry about spending my newfound wealth though--I scent the odeur du scam on the air. I share in its entirety for your entertainment:

The last couple of months have been hectic. As many of you know, I've been trying to get my next travel contract and have been working per diem in the interim. At times, this meant being on call 24/7 to try and get enough shifts to pay the basic bills. The last two months though, I have been fortunate enough to get regular work in endoscopy, aka Butts-N-Guts. Some days I was in Otay Mesa (anyone else hear Buckwheat in their head saying "OTAAAAAAAY!"? He was a spunky little guy) but much of t... read more

Some of you know the ongoing saga with the car I bought last February, but I'll recap for the purposes of this grumbling session.

I bought an 05 Saturn Ion from the Saturn dealership and put 6k down on it. Its a 10k car with all the finance charges added in. When I bought it, they had to do some minor work so I couldn't take delivery for a week even though I was paying for the car and had signed the paperwork on it. Well, the day after I took delivery the car decided to leave us stranded. ... read more

We are making far better time as a team than I ever would have alone. Our first night on the road we spent in Albuquerque, New Mexico where we got together with one of our Tribe friends and had a lovely evening. This morning we had breakfast at Marisco's then hit the road for lunch in Fort Sumner, New Mexico with my ex. He's changed as he's aged, to the point that I almost didn't recognize him, but its a good change. he got to meet Les for the first time and we all had a grand time. After th... read more

Well, the car is loaded up except for the computers and a few small items that are piled together with our clothes. Les is sleeping and I'm staying up so that I can sleep in the car and be awake in the morning to take my turn driving as well as appreciate the scenery of New Mexico.
Our first stop is Albuquerque and then we are off to Santa Fe to visit my ex and his family. Expect photos on the fly since we DO have internet for the trip. :D

I've never driven cross country before and I'm re... read more

February 5, 2008
Qamar is one of the main reasons that I am grateful for tribe, because without it I might have missed out on knowing her.
April 15, 2007
Qamar Al-Shefa'a is a wonderful dancer, one who exudes an enormous amount of joy,skill and passion in her dance, a real treat to watch perform.
Qamar's amazing stage presence captivates you, and draws you into her dance from the moment she enters the stage.
Oh yeah,.... and i dont think i have ever seen anyone who can control a sword as she can,
I look forward to seeing many more of your performances Qamar,.... thank you for sharing your Beautiful dance with us.....
March 19, 2007
She's not only a sweet, funny person... well she goes for nursing jokes anyway....but talented too!.... I am the proud owner of a Qamar Original. She very generously shared her talent with me to keep me from belly dance nakedness. My Qamar Original is a very beautiful Thobe, which I have to watch at class, cause Maiya is trying to figure a way to steal it. Thanks again, and I hope to see many other Originals in the future.
