The costume for a belly dancer should be exotic. It should enrapture the viewer and frame the dancer as a work of art. It shouldn't make you go "WTFbananas?!?" This blog showcases the costumes that make us all ask "What on earth were they thinking?!"

I'm a bellydancer and thus see a lot of bellydance costumes. Now and then I may post some of the really beautiful ones, but mostly I'll be showcasing the ones that make me laugh. Many people will disagree on some of these, and that's great. Tastes differ. If you find your work up here, I'm sorry for the shock, but maybe you can take a little comfort in the fact that your design probably made me laugh for ten solid minutes. The term "fug" is a contraction of "f***in' ugly." It was used extensively by the late blog "You Knit What?!" (which I also laughed long and hard at, being a knitter.)
