rant by request: bellydance

This is firecat's rant. Topic: mainstream bellydancers.

So. There's this thing that most of you who aren't in the bellydance "community" (such as it is) probably have never heard of, called the Bellydance Superstars (note - the website, it is ass). It's masterminded and produced by this one dude, who has taken lots of cool "underground" things (i.e. punk) and made them "mainstream" through marketing.

( Rant on, yo. )

rant by request: clothing

This is cavlec's rant. She told me to talk about clothing.

So let's talk about pants. ( I hate pants. And winter. )

I could just wear skirts all the time, but sometimes it's cold, and tights and socks just don't cut it. So I put up with crap-fitting pants. What crap-fitting clothing item do you hate most? Share. I like the sharing.
