Belly Dance Eye Candy Part Three

This post will mark the third installation of the belly dance "eye candy" series. (You can still read installation one and two.) Any time I'm putting one of these image-oriented posts together I always fall down the rabbit hole of the Internet because there are so many amazing dancers and pictures out there! When making my final selections to include in the blog post, I look for an image where the  makeup and costuming, dancer's pose, facial expression, composition, lighting, and background elements or props all magically come together. I think all of these pictures zilled it right on the head!

There's a couple pictures where I did not know the dancer. If you do, please leave a note in the comments section so I can add her info!

Pura Vida in Costa Rica

Just over a week ago I returned back to the U.S. after a two and half week trip to the beautiful country of Costa Rica. It was an amazing vacation filled with dazzling landscapes, outdoor adventures, exotic animals, warm temperatures, and friendly people. Here are pictures of some of the highlights of our trip. Pura Vida!

Belly Dance Eye Candy Part Two

My post of belly dance eye candy from almost two years ago remains one of the most popular on this blog to this day. Makes sense. As dancer's we are involved in a highly visual art form, so of course we enjoy looking at pictures of other dancers when they are decked out in jaw-dropping costumes and stunning makeup. Thus, I thought it was time for an update post to include some of my favorite belly dance pictures that I've seen circulating lately.

Pictures From My Honeymoon in France

Another detour from belly dancing this month to share some pictures from my honeymoon in France. I've done my fair share of traveling, and have loved everywhere I've gone. But France really captured my heart and I think I might have to say that it's my new favorite destination. After you take a look at the pictures, I don't think I'll  have to explain why.
