A Quiz Just For Us.

At what rate do you buy stuff? Bellydance stuff namely. And do you show a preference, like one would with any merchandise? For instance, I love purses, I seriously have a purse problem. Switching purses causes me metaphysical anxiety....so it is important for me to own lots....yeah, that is the reason.
     I just know that in your bellydance stuff closet ( if only I were so lucky), that you have a zillion veils, and one cane. Or 18 pair of harem pants, and one choli. Or...ahem...one zillion DVD's, 1/2 zillion CD's, and no bedlah. Yeah that is me. The no bedlah girl.
    How can I be a cabaret dancer of 12 years and not own bedlah? 1. I can't sew worth a damn, and 2. my boobs are enormous. The special-made- bra kind of enormous. My mantra is that I am not sure that hanging tassels from them is the best idea. It is all I can do to strap them down when I dance already. maybe one day when I lose weight they will go down to an F, and I can have some bedlah made....but I digress.

I have just done some shopping and since I tend to do things in a grand way I bought 9 dance DVD's and four CD's. Reviews follow after I get my little munchkins into school and can have some time to breathe.  Some of us nickel and dime ourselves at workshops, etc, I tend to do my shopping in a big way. $600 at LRose. $200 at Amazon.
But I still own more DVD's than anything.

I wonder what bellydance stuff you own says about you as a dancer? You know, like those cosmo quizzes that you take" Are you REALLY stressed?" Take this quiz and find out...

Lets make our own, shall we?

What Your Bellydance Stuff Says About You! ( a Quiz)

1. One arm into the closet and you could herd a flock of sheep. Standard silver and gold, but also pink and sequin studded lime green make up your cane repertoire. Raqs Al Assaya, baby!

a. Yeah, man, that's me to a T.
b. Well, I own a few, but no lime green,that's for sure.
c. Sheep stink. Yuck.

2.In cleaning out the closet you are nearly smothered under a pile of silk,and chiffon. With a mouthful of silver pailettes that rib the edge of your lavender veil choking your airway, you mutter, not a bad way to go.

a. Bring it on. Death by veil-drowning; I can't think of a better way to go.
b. Veils are part of every bellydancers wardrobe, but I don't own any more than a normal dancer.
c. I have one veil and I use it to mop up the floor occasionally.

3. (For you Tribal-ies) Ten yards, twenty, can I get thirty, going down the forty yard line. Started with black now you have 100 yards of firefly printed skirt.

a. "Having skirts is normal for a tribal dancer."
    "Well you have twenty, why don't you give me one?" 
   "hands off my skirts or you die". 

b. The standard black ten yard skirt, plus one or two other colors is good enough for me.
c. My ass can't handle more than ten. This shit is heavy.

4. What? WHAT? I AM SORRY I CAN'T HEAR YOU MY EARDRUMS WERE DESTROYED YEARS AGO BY MY ZIL HABIT.

a.. clang clang goes the zils. All......day.....long.
b. I have a pair that is taped up for home use,and a pair for classes and workshops. Who needs more than that?
c. Zils sound like my own personal version of hell.

5. Does your closet resemble a drag queens? Nuff said.
  
a. I just HAD to have the animal print biker shorts with purple fringe and matching bedlah top. They threw in the hat for free.
b. My tastes are pretty standard. Silver, gold, and a few reds and purples. That is enough.
c. Bedlah looks like someone threw up Christmas all over you.


Answer Sheet:

1. If you answered mostly A. You have a serious problem. You need sparkle rehab or something. You also make up most of the bellydancers that I know.

2. If you answered mostly B. Snore. Wake me up when this is over.

3. If you answered mostly C. If you don't like canes, veils, zils, don't dance tribal, or wear bedlah, then you obviously have the wrong quiz/blog. The tennis/scrapbooking blogs are over there, weenie.
