S27" Melos for sale

Maria — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 22:39:50 GMT

I recently received my long awaited first pair of Melodias through the post from America. As I am very petite, I’ve struggled to find a pair of tribal trousers that aren’t ridiculously long on the length. I managed to find a pair through the Melodia ebay store with a 27inch inseam. Whilst I love these trousers and they do fit on the length just about, I’m a bit concerned that after a little shrinkage they are going to be slightly too short.

For this (very unfortunate) reason I’m trying to find them a new loving home where another petite person can finally have a pair of tribal pants that fit without the time and effort spent to make a pair themselves or have some custom made.

They are BRAND NEW and have only been worn when trying them on to see if they fit. I am not looking to make a profit, I just want to sell them on so I’m not out of pocket and can then buy a pair that are an inch or 2 longer.

This link displays them:
cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll

So again, they have a 27 inch inseam
Size Small (I’m a UK size 6 and they fit great but there is enough stretch for larger sizes)
Are fringe pants (the fringes are tied on either side to accentuate hip action!)
And are (deep) red in colour

Please get in touch ASAP if you want them, otherwise I’m going to try and send them back to America for an exchange within the next few days. I may be listing them on eBay in the meantime, so get in there quick before they’re snatched up!

I paid $91.72 with postage which was converted to £58.62 for them, plus I had to pay the Royal Mail £16.60 as they were imported from the US. So that’s £75.22, but I’ll round it up to £77 to account for postage. I live in London, so will only post them to people living within the UK and perhaps Europe.

I cannot stress how difficult it has been to find tribal pants with a short inseam, so if you’re also on the small side, get in there quick!!

Contact me at this email address to arrange payment and postage (or if you live in London I can come and meet you in person): m.agathangelou@gmail.com

Zils in Europe?

nocturnalfusion — Sat, 31 May 2008 00:34:55 GMT

I've desperately been looking for zils for a while now. I liked the look and sound of the Saroyan Arabesque Zils in German Silver, but at Saroyanzils.com they wanted me to E-MAIL my credit card number for shipping overseas... That didn't happen. So now I'm wondering if anyone here knows of someone who sells those zils, or something like them, in Europe?

Quashing rumours

Bridie — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 22:10:36 GMT

I heard on the grape vine this morning that a rumour is going round that this year's Gothla is being held in a Catholic girls' school, and that they have asked to see DVDs of all the performances before they will allow it.

This is the most hilarious thing I have heard in years, and is completely untrue! I am not aware of the religious leanings of the people who run the British Dance Theatre Association, where a lot of classes and the hafla will be taking place, but they certainly have not demanded to be able to vet any of our performances!

You've gotta love the old rumour mill though, eh?!

Nomadiqa Ethnic Fusion and Arabesque Beats

Tue, 30 Oct 2007 10:12:16 GMT

Hi Folks,
We recently released a debut album. It's a mix of electronic and arabian styles. We're hoping it might appeal to the belly dance community. Please feel free to have a listen on myspace where we have four full tracks available to listen online.

http://www.myspace.com/nomadiqa

It would also be great to promote it through the network of belly dance teachers who might be interested to sell it at a class or bazaar. We can offer it at wholesale prices with plenty of capacity for the seller to make a decent profit on top of the wholesale price.

Please contact info@nomadiqa.com for further details.

Hope to hear from you.

Many thanks,

Nomadiqa

UK Subculture-related Hate Crime petition

imagnocean — Sat, 29 Sep 2007 08:12:43 GMT

(Hope this is ok to post here)

This just came to my attention.

"In remembering the case of a Lancashire couple, who recieved an horrific beating, for the way they were dressed and, in which an innocent young woman lost her life, the Alternative & Gothic community puts forward that the definition of hate crimes should expand to protect subcultural people where the law is concerned.

Most gothic/subcultural people regularly complain of being harrassed, abused, spat on or attacked for the way they look, having done or said nothing to otherwise provoke this. People who prefer ‘darker’ fashions; who sport facial piercings, alternative makeup or dyed hair regularly experience being singled out on these grounds, by the less tolerant. When this escalates to physical attack and, in this instance, death of an innocent person, it is clearly unnacceptable.

According to the home office, the definitions of ‘Hate Crime’ include race, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation and disability. We feel this list should also include: “On the basis of personal appearance or subculture”. "

You know the drill people - if you're in the UK and agree with the above statement, please sign the petition here: http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/goth-hatecrimes

Cheers.

Where to find tassels for first (victorian) gothic belt?

Heather — Mon, 02 Jul 2007 18:06:39 GMT

Hi,

I'm in the process of putting together my first ever gothic costume, and have a corset belt which I've added lace to make into a 'skirt'/skorset but would like to get my hands on some silver/black/white tassels (big) to add on. I've been to my local Sewing World but unfortunately the only ones available would make me look like a curtain tieback! I've been online to search, but no real luck - I'd love to get those big 'tribal' style one almost made from hairfalls - can anyone tell me where I can get them from?

So far I've got lace and fringe trimming, if anyone can think of anything else I should add please let me know :-)

Thanks,

Heather

Gothla HELP

I'm coming to Gothla this summer, but I have a few problems, that I hope someone here could help me with. First, where should one stay? Nice and cheap, and not too far from the Quebec Club, 96 Belgrave Gate, if possible? Any suggestions? This Days Inn on Abbey Road that is mentioned on Gothla.co.uk, is it ok?

And then, since I just can't seem to navigate the weeb pages for train traffic, how do I get from Stansted to Leicester?

Feeling a little blonde and stupid now, but I would really appreciate a little help here. *pl*

As one of the committee members once said: "If you think you might belong here, you probably do!".

On behalf of the Gothla UK committee, we look forward to seeing you there!

Darkest Blessings,

Rosie

London Edge - FEB 2007!

imagnocean — Fri, 26 Jan 2007 13:04:58 GMT

Hi Guys and Gals,

just a reminder that London Edge - the UK's largest ALTERNATIVE fashion trade fair is back from 4th-6th February.

It's Trade Buyers ONLY, so if you run a shop (even an online one) and want to have a look for new inspiration, it's well worth going to look at!

http://www.londonedge.com/home.asp

I'm off to see it on the Sunday as buyer rep for one of my side projects... if you're there and you see a short gal with shoulder-length dark brown (real) dreads wearing (platform) new rocks and walking around with a tall guy with long, blonde curly hair, there's a chance that's me and my boyf... so come and say hello!

It's a fantastic convention... and the food ain't half bad either! Let's hope we can interest them with bellydancers and the like for up-coming shows.

The event is now so huge, they're taking it to NYC this year!

So excited!!!

Rosie

The flyer's in the photos....

this is pure freestyle personal interpretation of gothic bellydance. (as Tempest says - you can be tribal OR cabaret OR both, it's all about the feeling and theatrical element of GOTH in the PERFORMANCE) So if you like being a member of the BD police, you may not enjoy yourselves :P

But we will. Come along - spread the gothic spirit this close the Xmas!

Questions for YOU!!!

Stardawn — Sat, 07 Oct 2006 10:56:49 GMT

Okay, this is cross posted from the exp. M E dance tribe:

How do people react to what you are dancing/doing? Do they get freaked, smile politely, or what? Do you get the reaction you want and if so, what is it.

Are you trying to covey a message with your experimental/alternative dance? What is it?

Also, I'd like to know what pushed you guys into breakin outa da box? Was it a natural progression or born from frustration?

How often and where do you get to dance your exp. styles and what (if you do) do you dance "normally" (God i hate that word!)

Are you experimenting with costuming as well as dance? How?

Hee, when i started posting this i thought i only had a few questions, but its turned into an inquisition! Lol!

GBD DVD

nicole — Thu, 07 Sep 2006 10:40:28 GMT

Maybe I have very high expectations, but it has not cracked up to what I thought it would be. I think Arielleh is a supreme dancer but the rest leave a lot to be desired.

I found the music interpretation bad and the dancing was for the most part tacky, like an 80's production.

My mum always said 'if you can't say anything nice say nothing at all' but this little kitten is not happy :( and I'm wondering if I'm the only one. Maybe I've watched one to many Rachel vids and she has blown my expectations sky high, I don't know, but cheese ,even if it is gothic or the like, doesn't sit well with me, niether do bondage vids while I'm watching dancing, TASTELESS!!

London Edge - Alternative Fashion!

imagnocean — Wed, 30 Aug 2006 13:37:44 GMT

Hi all…

Quick question and/or promotion of an event for shop owners and costume designers/engineers or anyone with an eye for ‘alternative’ fashion.

Is anyone going to London Edge this coming weekend? (it’s on Sunday – Tuesday)

I have a buyer’s pass (which entitles me to free entrance + goodie bags + free gifts etc…) but I don’t think I’m going down. (I also don’t want to masquerade as a buyer when I’m not one), though if you do own a shop (online or IRL), it is an amazing place to get some ideas, meet creators of alternative clothing (think big names like Alchemy, Cyberdog (CYBERDAWG!!!!) etc etc). Also big alternative make-up businesses (like Stargazer et al) are there.

I would love it if Melodia had a stall there – then they could have some tribal bellydancers at the event, which would obviously ROCK!

Anyway, the website is here: www.londonedge.com

If you miss it this time, it will be held again in Jan/Feb time. It really is a great event.

FINALLY got to Darkscape in Leicester this weekend. EXCELLENT night. Was quite quiet because it's the summer, most people are saving for Infest next week and there were parties going on elsewhere (also half of the Nottingham contingent due to attend couldn't get to Leicester because there was a terrorist/bomb threat at the station.

Still, excellent night!

So Tempest is releasing a new GBD DVD...Discuss.

Bridie — Fri, 04 Aug 2006 19:19:26 GMT

Looks good. Lots of people will buy it. Possibly even me. But what do we think it will do for the alternative bellydance scene as a whole?

I worry that it will stifle any creativity that people may have left. The other GBD DVD has already spawned dozens of clones, both good and bloody awful. My greatest fear is that once you begin to categorize what _is_ Gothic Bellydance, or even Alternative Bellydance, you start being able to say what _isn't_ Gothic, or alternative.

Please let's not go down _that_ route.

Dream gig

So, if you had free reign to perform in any venue, with any style/s and costuming what would it be?

I'm asking this as i recently got the chance to perform with a breakbeat dj in a club atmosphere, but on stage with my own lighting & costuming specifications. The entire experience was pretty mind blowing. It's amazing what you can come up with when you don't have the restraints of other dancers' expectations. Its funny, i seem to be spending a lot of time dodging the bd constabulary lately!
