Shimmy shimmy

I know I've mentioned this before, but I love belly dancing! My sister (well especially her) are totally into it. I think it's a great way for a girl to get some excersize and learn to feel really good about her body. You know I used to be embarrassed of my rather large hips, but I've learned they are sexy and womanly. And they are fun to shake around!

Unfortunately there aren't alot of resources for the plus size gal interested in shaking her thang. It's hard to find a costume that you can actually afford. Ebay is the best resource for a hot costume at a good deal. There are some other sites out there that have some good ideas if you want to make your own costume and some suggestions about where to buy. Check these out:
