preping the acid green egyptian lycra for cairo caravan. fingers so tired of crystal chain. waist band and hem will wait till morning.  

open note to egyptian costume beaders:  "please please please knot the ends of your threads so i don't have to spend hours finishing your work!" why can they do the most exquisite hand beading and keep the stretch in the fabric but neglect to knot the end of the thread to secure the design on the fabric?

the latest show/festival dvds ripped for your viewing pleasure :p

the custom jazz fusion costume from miss kate.  most comfortable costume ever!  thanks again

 aside from the wedding, the absolute highlight of my trip to cabo san lucas was meeting the local dancers and teaching workshops for them. 
i taught a beladi progession workshop for the local teachers and an egyptian song for the local students + a little "shimmy lab"  this is a pic of us all sweaty after the egyptian song class. i'm obviously the one in glasses.  ylenia, the studio owner and my new friend,  is on my right.  she raqs!
