Brigitte and helpers have made up some cool Parade Belly Dance Belts for sale. They are made of panels bound with eyelet lacing and can be bought by the panel. They are suitable for either RED Blood or Black OIL dancers and volunteer parade participants. You can buy them by the panel. We will put up a photo on the parade page later tonight or tomorrow morning. You can even build a top with them maybe.
$10 each panel or 5 for $45, 6 for $52, 7 for $59

Ideas: Body paint red or black with glitters, black, silver, luminescence; maybe black iris glitter to make it appear oily.
We may use black and red veils or streamers and maybe even use visqueen.  Props will be announced shortly.
