COSTUMES

SIM MODA GOLD LAME BRA AND SKIRT $450

Description: Gold lame bra with large clear crystals, criss cross straps with front clasp opening for ease in dressing yourself without assistance. Gold lame skirt with pale champagne flute trim on a left-leg slit. Elasticized waist fits comfortably for smaller waistlines.

This is an excellent costume for the intermediate to professional dancer. Small shimmies show up nicely because of the fringe. Professional dancers will get mileage out of the costume’s rich appearance, fine detail, and finished pieces.

Bra 34-36 B padded, C without padding

Skirt 36″ long (shorter if you have more hip), upper waist 28″-34″, lower hip 36-38″ best (can expand more by removing elastic).

Comes with beaded trim champagne circle veil, arm cuffs in gold lame, and a matching necklace that looks like the straps with a large crystal jewel (not shown in picture). Looks fabulous with a pair of gold or fiery red Wings of Isis!

This costume is very heavy, shows off shimmies well. No bead loss. If you are a size 2-4 and shorter than 5’3, please know that the weight of this costume’s skirt will slide down if you do not have hips!

I purchased this costume, worn only once, from Sedona for $650. I have worn it approximately 10 times and have kept it in good condition. Asking $500 USD (new price!) plus shipping $25 (because of weight). Paypal only. Serious inquiries only to info@hipsforhire.com.

There is also a box with free things to re-gift, books, gently used designer handbags, clothes, and other odds and ends. Like it? Take it! Leave a $1 or two, and all donations will be given to Doctors Without Borders (Haiti).

iPhone4 16 GB for sale 11/27/2011

While it has been verified that Steve Jobs did not influence the redesign on the iPhone4S, the camera quality is better the iPhone4. I simply had to wait a little longer before I was offered the ability to upgrade to the new iteration without penalty for breaking my current contract with AT&T. Well, the time has come: check out the details on Craigslist:
