Costumes of our futures.

Eshe will soon send pictures of the costume...because she knows how much it means to me to have documentation.

With the cowries out of the way I turned to a costume I've been working on for me. It started as a trumpet skirt...then I reworked it a bit (because it was too loose) and put more darts and a slit in it. Then...on realizing that dark brown is my new black...because I can'd do all black in a costume...I decided I would make it into a two-piece costume.

I decided it would have a peacock motif and I ordered beads and sequins and stuff for it prior to my trip to America...and I also had plans to do some rushing (sp?) on it in dark teal.

Yesterday I ripped out the rushing I had done and decided that as long as I was making my first two-piece that wasn't a bra and belt....why not go whole hog. Cut-outs! Next time I am in Tokyo I'll pick up some power mesh for the cut-outs to keep them from stretching too wide. I may do a cut out on the other hip as well.

I need to start building my bra base.

Friend of a friend – I work with Mr. Dark Clan and he was like "I know this bellydancer from Madison who now lives in Japan..." so he sent me your LJ link.

I just friended you on MySpace a few days back (myspace.com/inaya_12). There aren't many Wisconsin dancers around, so it's nice to make connections in the community, even if they're currently in Japan ;)

I see. What with Madison being Madison, and my four years at MIAD in Milwaukee I wasn't sure!

OUtside of snippits on Bhuz, I have no clue what the Wisconsin scene is like, none, I started out here.
