i-Dressup.com: Interactive Digital Paper-doll Experience
Game review by Davina ~ Dawn Devine
posted December 17, 2012
Wanna fun belly dance diversion for you and the favorite little girl in your life? Check out i-Dressup.com! In a nutshell, this site offers an interactive digital paper-doll experience. The interface is easy to use. Simply click on the wardrobe component your are interested in using and it appears on the accompanying doll. This website is vast, with lots of collections for women, teens and girls. From high fashion designers to Disney fantasies, there is a wide variety of clothing and costumes to explore. Each collection is called a "game" on the site and registered users can create their own collections for a fee. Visitors to the site can explore and play with hundreds of games.
Tucked into the "girls" side of the i-dressup site is a collection of belly dance costumes. It’s a fun little collection that features some of the most classic belly dance styles. There are a handful of head to toe ensembles including bra, belt and skirt with matching accessories. However, a creative user can mix and match these individual pieces to create a variety of different looks. There are no traditional or tribal costumes, but if you are feeling creative you can sign-up to this site and create your own collection to suit your costuming taste. If you do, let us know so we can share it with the world.
i-Dressup is a creative and fun digital fantasy world where you can play at being a designer, stylist or shopper. If you enjoy playing with paper dolls, this is an entertaining diversion. This is especially fun if you’re playing with a young girl and don’t mind spending some cash. You’re required to pay i-coins to build and save a game for others to view, but playing already built games is free. Beware! If you love paper dolls, you might wind up spending quite a bit of time here!

- 7-16-12 Hollywood and Assiut, Onstage and Off, by Dawn Devine Davina
Throughout the history of motion pictures, the costume designers of Hollywood, and the stars they dress, have had their own love affair with this gorgeous cloth. Assiut fabric was used initially to breathe life into an ancient past and later to provide a connective link to the 20’s when the popularity of assiut was at it’s zenith. - 3-5-12 High Concept – High Style “Dangerous Beauties”, February 18, 2012, A Show Review

What I noticed, first and foremost, was not the costuming, but rather, a change in the sellers themselves. The seller demographic has radically altered, creating a new vendor landscape. Without a doubt, this is a response to the on-going sluggish economy and the need for companies to reduce expenses. The reduction in costumes and products coming out of Egypt also affected the merchandise. Many small factories had a gap in production, and shipping has become even more problematic. ented by the Egyptians and dates back thousands of years. - 12-15-12 Who’s the Fairest of Them All? Enchanting Bellydance Choreography by Sandra, Captivating Bellydance Choreography With Amar Gamal
Fairies are enchanting magical beings that many mortals would like to have the gift of seeing, and while I haven’t seen any fairies personally, I felt that I was one of the luckiest of mortals recently when I had the opportunity to become enchanted by two new DVDs from skilled, talented, and perhaps enchanting, dancers. - 9-18-12 Layers and Levels, “Layers with Leyla”, “5-Layers from the Ground Up” with Nadira
If you are a dancer who loves dancing with the guidance of a choreography involving complex moves and intricate combinations (like me, for instance), then you are always on the lookout for the release of new DVDs about layering–in search of fresh new combinations that can enhance and advance your performances. - 9-17-12 Goth Fantastique, Fantasy Bellydance: Magic DVD" by World Dance New York DVD Review by Martha Duran
This DVD is a good choice for dancers who are more into ritual, sacred, experimental, and related fusion forms of belly dance - 8-16-12 Shahrazad at Large, Then, Now and…Forever?
I didn’t want belly dance to change. I used to be stuck on issues of authenticity and historical integrity but I think I’m not now. There are so many possible modern re-readings of belly dance, and there are no reasons why there shouldn’t be. But in any case, there’s no stopping things when they go viral. - 8-15-12 Market Yourself with Michelle Joyce, RaqsTV.com Exclusive Content Streams to Your Screen-"Insider Secrets"
Unlike so many dance DVDs produced these days, the audience for Insider Secrets is not just any dancer. The information is aimed directly at the professional (and almost-professional) performer.

If you’re like me, you have tubs of fabric and always see the “need” for more. But our love of fabric is NOT just manifested in our stashes and projects, it’s also reflected in our dance, our beautiful veil dance and more recently the fan veil dance. Each of these three DVDs offers something positive for different dance goals.
