Tribal Bellydance Smokey look with Morgana Minerals

If there is a a follower of mine that would appreciate this look more than anyone, it would have to be kathyfuckingjacobs. She's a fellow tribal monster! So some of you may or may not know that I'm a bellydancer. I've studied various styles for the past 8 years. The past 2+ years I have spent learning American Tribal Style (ATS) and tribal fusion. This is a type of look I would wear for a performance. Normally I would do more like fake lashes, rhinestones, tribal "dots" etc. However, at the last minute, Jason and I were invited to an amusement park with friends and I didn't want to mess with either having all that on walking around a park, or mess with trying to wash just part of my face off. That's always awkward. So I wore part of this look out last night. My hair lasted through all the rides except that last roller coaster. Ha! My hair was still up in a nice bun, but my side swept bangs totally fell and died...

Out of what I'm wearing, I made the first pair of earrings (with gears), the necklace, the large hair clip, the head band and the bindi is a pendant I altered to make it wearable as a bindi.
The crescent hair stick (looks like horns) I found on the floor at a dance club, the nose chain is a bracelet I bought off of eBay and the hair flowers are from http://hairflowers.net/

Anyway, here's the look. At the end I posted some more info for kathyfuckingjacobs. :-) Enjoy!

So these awesome bloomers Kathy asked me about can be purchased here: http://www.fiveanddiamond.com/store/ 

I've worn them twice performing with my sweet dance partner, Tava (pronounced Tay-vuh) and I wear them out normally:

These are HUGE 25 yard skirts that we made bustles with. :-)

Video for this performance is very dark so you can brighten your screen to see it a little better. I'm wearing white obviously!:

Shorter bloomers I wore dancing at the club (I made the bra to match):

Here's a performance from 2 years ago. This in an improv performance led by ques and transitions. I'm leading on the far right for the first song.

So there you go! Hope everyone has a lovely weekend!
