My first Aida Nour costume! Photo credit goes to RAM, the photoartist (Houston). I first performed wearing this costume at the Raqia Hassan workshop (Houston/April 2004) but, I didn't find a shot that I liked until I danced in Bahaia's Friday night HOT workshop (Austin/August 2004) with Tamra-Henna (CA). OK, I'm very picky about what photos I allow to show up on the web . . . particularly when I'm wearing a costume. And now that I've been working on my weight, I've gotten even pickier! So my weight is dropping and I'm feeling better but I still have a bit of a way to go on my journey for better health and a slinky costume . . . but lycra is helpful at all levels!
