DINA’S COSTUMES UP FOR SALE ON EBAY!
DINA’S COSTUMES UP FOR SALE ON EBAY!
Many of Egyptian belly dance legend Dina’s costumes are up for sale on eBay, available as a lot or sold singly. The entire collection is astounding, and looks like a couture retrospective of Dina’s twenty-plus year career, featuring many iconic pieces. The prices are beyond reasonable, especially for custom-made stage garments worn by a superstar of Oriental dance.
Included in the items are a sheer, form-fitting bronze Saidi galibiyya which she wore for live performances of “Tahtil Shebak” with famous baladi singer Fatma Serhan; also a dove-grey minimalist mini dress and a pearl- encrusted baroque bedlah and skirt, both of which were featured on the DVD
“ Dina Live At Monte Carlo”. There are also fabulously slit and embellished dresses with open cut-work.
Also included are some fabulously over-done “old school” costumes, with epaulettes, full skirts and belts dripping with beads and fringe, dating from Dina’s early days as an up-and-coming performer in the late 1980’s, as well as many later costumes, which are exclusive one-of-a-kind contemporary designs by Sahar Okasha, including the infamous G-string costume!
If you have read this far, your mouth is probably watering, as is mine!
How can this belly dance wet dream be true, you ask?
Well, I wish this was real, but it’s not… Happy April Fools Day!
I was waiting for a link! :(
