wanna see it when your done

OMg make sure you do a nice 1920's bob if it is possible. And really red lips and blue eyes! It'll be fab! Take tons of pictures! I hope it rocks everyone socks off!

From looking at some websites last night and this morning (thanks, Erika)...
1. I'm not cutting my hair ;-) so I'll have to do some sort of slicked back thing......which depends on the other routines of the performance night.
2. Makeup...not a problem! ;-) love red lipstick
3. Neither one of us is flat chested and have no plans to *go flat* as was the style back then...nor do either of us have *boyish* figures, so...

Maybe this won't be so *bellydancer meets flapper* after all.

That's so awesome!:)

-Maybe black fringe bra/belt trimmed at the top and straps w/pearls? But not beaded fringe, the fabric/polyester kind.
-Maybe a black sequined headband that comes right across the forehead--don't forget the feather attached! :)
- gloves instead of gaunlets?
-R u going to use any props? A long cigarette filter perhaps?

If you could get someone to do it, you should put finger waves in your hair!

Can't wait to see it!

That's not as rediculous as our mideast style electric slide.

No really.

nice thing about the 20s is the "waist band" hit around the hips, so it fits for belly dance.
20's style would fuse well with a beledi dress ^_^

I absolutely love the 20's flapper style, hence the bobbed hair.
I found this great evening pic, you can click on the different pics at the top to look at different pics.

Here is a interesting idea farm1.static.flickr.com/75/272...190.jpg

My all time fav Louise Brooks www.jupe.be/photo/articl...e_brooks2.jpg & www.theothersideofkim.com/image...24.jpg

I've got brain fever from looking at all these images! My partner & I haven't ironed all this out, of course. It's in the **brain storm** stage at this point. But ya'll have definitely given me good ideas.

The **look** ((from inside my head))...I'll be sketching it out soon
a. black bra embellished with pearls/pearl-like beads - tummy, side and back drapes - maybe even pearl epatulets ((drapes)) over the upper arm area
b. black fishnet foot-less tights under lace skirt bustled back - maybe an underskirt for color
c. belt made so it can be worn with bustled back skirt - the front is embellished with pearls & pearl drapes and/or fringe, the back plain & with ties so it can be tied under bustle
d. jewelry is easy to make, pearl strands will be a cinch - bracelets & earrings
e. hair - ok, so I haven't gotten very far here

How fun, Etana! Sounds like lots of great ideas here... Be sure to post pics when all is said and done.
