eta: Yeah, two of them are huge. Sue me. I’m too lazy to res ‘em down and re-upload ‘em.

This is Devyani Dance troupe, with special guest Carolena Nericcio.

those costumes are incredible.

[aetra]

I KNOW! See, this is why I don't really want to actually dance with them (if they'd ever even let me once I took 57382734823748397 lessons). All the bling! I want all the bling NOW and I haven't earned any and I can't afford it if I had.

is it hard to dance with all that heavy jewelry and that headpiece on?

[elysiangirl]

not really, nope. it takes some getting used to with heavy bracelets because they act like weights on your arms. and if the skirt is thick you have to get used to spinning in it, again because of the weight. but basically it's not really a big deal.

well, you have to make allowances for it so you don't get tangled or in backbends the turban can weigh you down but the dance is designed around all that.

The pictures turned out good, if I do say so myself. I do have lots more but I have to twik them, like cut out peoples heads and all. Thanks for posting for me.

[aetra]

Yeah, they are good - as you see, I DIDN'T make them smaller, although I should have. The last one is not yours, but I thought it was a little better of the group - except it's a little yellow.

Is it bad that my first thought was "oh, that reminds me I have to take apart that broken necklace and turn it into belly dangles"?

eventually costuming eats your life. :)

[aetra]

That's what I'm afraid of...
