    Ooooh - you were awesome! I would be terrified to do that! Your leg kicks were flawlessly done (I always struggle with them), and your play to the crowd was lovely! Is your costume a derivative of Sass' costume? I've always wanted to try a variation of that, but I would have to sew the ties to the back to cover the bra straps. I also liked your ladder leggings, they really enhanced the floorwork!

      hey, good eye--yes it is a variation of sass's costume! i totally feel ya with the bra strap thing: two years ago i had a breast reduction, but prior to that i was VERY full busted, and going braless was out of the question. there are ways around this--you could wear a tight black cami with built in bra underneath the halter. or, buy a black racer-back sports bra, and then put studs, glitter, jewels, etc on the racerback strap. as long as the bra is black, it can be made to blend with your costume! and if you find ways to decorate the bra instead of trying to hide it, it wil look cool

      thanks for the leggings compliment--nice way for me to show my thighs without actually showing my thighs :)

        Yes, I am headed in the direction of the BR, once I've hooped enough weight off for my Dr. I'm comfortable enough with my sewing machine though to sew the points that tie around the neck to the part that ties around the waist. I cut one for making, but the occasion ended up too cold (what is WITH this weather!) so I have not sewn it yet.

        I'm making leggings like that, except braided, i do better with a vertical line :)
