Club Med VIII

tribal-fusion is a western style of belly dancing, this gal has some workshops for you

Here is a great 2CD mix of original 'Best Belly Dances in the World'. That means - from all the countries around the medditerranian sea (still not sure about the countries & styles).

There is a USA chapter about belly dancing, but that has to do with some post-feminist, tree-hugging, work-shop, look-at-my-fat-body, I-am-so-great-because-Oprah-Winfrey-told-me-so stuff.

I will maybe post some of these later NOT. Here is a nice tube with Shakira & Beyonce with some belly dance sounds.

Here are the belly originals;
- A sample song from CD1
- CD1 is about 70MB. with 7 tracks (with some pics)

- A sample song from CD2
- CD2 is about 95MB. with 11 tracks (without pics)

- Sandra = Super (LBC clip from the tube)
- Estelle = In my Haram (LBC clip from the tube)
- Hizzi = Hotty (LBC clip from the tube)
- Maroccan Hottties (clip from the tube)

Enjoy.

Belly

Katina is from New York - with mediterranean roots

It is just a mysterious and secret world in its own, it can only be found in the deep dungeons of the ancient cults & rites.
Belly Dancing is a Tourist Topper in the more liberal Islam countries around the mediterranian sea like Turkey, Egypt, Lebanon, Marocco
- a belly dance song here
- and another one here
- Shakira is from Colombia, she has Lebanese roots and she does some very sexy belly dancing [in Dubai]

Allah is Great, indeed

Again

Shakira from Playboy

Shakira is from Colombia and her father is Lebanese. That's why she is a trained belly dancer. Here is her 9+ min. performance at Dubai.
Belly dancing is one of my small kinks and you can make a real study of it. It comes in several styles from several countries, originally around the south-east of the Mediterranean. Here are some clips from the tube;
- Aziza Mor is from Turkey
- Bellydance from Lebanon
- Bellydance from Arabia
- Fina is from Egypt
- Hayet is from Morocco
- Nalja is from Tunisia
- Amelia Zidane is from Abu Dhabi
- Ripped from Lebanese television
- Dalla Rosa is from Brazil
- Sadie is from the USA
- A belly dance blooper
Here is a big index with Arabian Belly Dance albums. Downloading is fast, songs are very good quality, some album art is included. Rename the .mpga files to .mp3 files and they should play OK in your WinAmp.
This album is in modern disco-tecno-club-ethnic-trance-dance style [kind of]. Here is a sample song.
This album is more traditional [and hot]. Here is a sample song.

Belly [Paris]

anklet coin jewelry for serious belly dancers

Sorry, another one of my hang-ups. I never knew [and you did neither] that there is a World Championship for Belly Dancing. Here is a starting tube, and you can click-away for some more great dances.

Breaking News: Paris Hilton is into Belly Dancing since her latest visit to Turkey.

Dance

I smell a connection between Turkish belly-dance and Spanish Flamenco. No it’s not that far apart. Take a look at this 2009 dance of Didem . I am a fan of hot music dance. Didem is a top belly-dancer from Turkey and a good reason why Turkey should join the EU.

I blogged this theme before; like jazz, belly-dancing has many roots and styles around the Mediterranean Sea [club med] that are not easily understood by our northerners. I think it’s just plain sexy.

Flamenco is a sing & dance style (many styles) from the South of Spain with definitely Moorish influences. I was not surprised there was a connection with belly-dancing. Spanish Flamenco also brought us many famous guitar players. Take a look at this impressive guitar clip with Paco Lucia .

Enjoy

Belly

Eight tracks of hot and sexy Belly Dance music [25MB.] sounds like North African and/or the Middle East [something good after all]. These Arabian boys and girls can be very stimulating. Michelle might be on the album, but that is not for sure. Here is the second track to give you an impression. The full album is at rs.com.

A nice to know is, that Shakira is a professional Belly Dancer. She is a Columbian singer/performer and she has Lebanese roots. Her hips don´t lie. Here is the song [5MB.]and here is the clip [35MB.]

Enjoy

Al Hambra

Patio Arrayanes, The Alhambra Courtyard

Did I ever told you I was in The Alhambra Palace in Granada, Spain, many years ago. It was built by North African people. The buildings and gardens are so great. And yes, it reminds me of this special mix of flamenco, bullfights and harems full of belly dancing beauties.

- Manitas de Plata is a great Spanish guitar player. This sounds like a tribute to Santa Maria.
- Lebanese, Arab, North African, not sure but a great cover from Alabína
- A song from "Best Belly Dances" HOT
- Ron & Orchestra is doing a Belly Dance - also great

Kira

Yes, I know, this is a repost; Shakira from the Playboy

We [shit] have to wait untill next year for her next album. She was very brief in the end of the Cyndi Lauper clip.

I don't know what drove me to this blog, but our Dutch princess is from Argentina and I just like Latina's.

Shakira is my chick. She is from Colombia, she has Lebanese roots and a Masters Degree in belly-dancing. She is a great woman and performer and a philanthropist. Say no more - say no more.

After her 2005 Oral Fixation [part.1] and [part.2] there was a 2007 "Best Of" album called Pure Intuition.

Here Shakira is showing her belly-skills in a Dubai show.

Enjoy

Unplugged

Did I ever blogged her before? That must have been for her belly-dancing skills. Her MTV Unplugged perfcormance is one of her best.
You have to seperate her belly-dancing, the music, her sex and your testosterones.
Correction; you better mix them all up for the ultimate experience. She is why my music and sexy tags are interchangeable. You have to see to believe. Stupid, deaf and blind is an understatement.

Viva Colombia

Dance

'Tribal' is a special stile of belly dancing

Who said muslims aren't sexy? I must have blogged this theme a few times before because it's sensual, sexy, arousing, inviting, hot and the lot and it gives you some fresh thouhgts about islam and muslims. There is even a world championship in belly dancing.

Enjoy

Lebanon

Hips Of Fury

Yes, belly dancing addict too. Setrak Sarkissian is the Lebanese band, Samare is the dancer. The album is volume-10, so there must be another nine of these around.

- Setrack and Samara clip from the Tube
- The first track - Nawal, Setrak At The Harem
- All tracks are great - Wedding Tableau
- the full album - Setrak At The Harem, 55MB.

Oh, by the way, Shakira has Lebanese and Belly Dance roots (sigh).

Enjoy

Pink

I probably blogged this topic before because it's rare and fascinating footage. A young girl in a pink dress commits ritual Japanese suicide. It is a ritual ceremony with many rules, very much like the better known Japanese tea ceremony. For men it is called Harakiri, for women it is Sepukku (I think).

The technique is to slice your belly open about one inch below your belly button. Use the special very sharp Japanese knife, cut two inches deep and slice from left to right. Then let all of your guts hang out, relax, lay down and die slowly. You need some training to master this ritual ... ;)

The movie looks very realistic. They are from a Japanese production that is hardly known outside Japan. That is why I first give you a TMO [The Making Of] clip in [1] and [2] 75MB. .avi parts [after downloading and joining; add the .avi extention].

The girl in the pink dress gets a 9 out of 10 for nudity, looks, technique, sounds, timing, guts, blood and gore. The whole ritual takes about 40+ minutes and comes in about 4x85MB. .avi parts [after downloading and joining; add the .avi extention].

Osaka

Eat the Schoolgirl aka Osaka Telephone Club is a 1997 Japanese shocker. Director Naoyuki Tomomatsu is probably best known for his 2001 Stacy movie.
This movie has great pictures but still is a very nasty flick. The movie starts out with a sexy young girl having phone sex, culminating in the scene where the girl desperately tries to stuff her intestines back into her belly.

Another incomprehensible movie from Jupiter, uh ... Japan.

"finish your lunch before seeing this movie"

A review of this movie before you download.

The movie comes in about 12x40MB. splits

Strad

In this blog, a Strad is as much a legend as a Fender Stratocaster. You can search my blog for 'Fender' or 'Zappa' to read the Jimi Hendrix stratocaster story.

Girls, girls, gils. Musical girls. No Rihanna, Madonna, Gaga or Beyoncé. My girls are of the classical type. No misunderstanding; every poppy girl went through thousands of hours of practice ands devotion. Respect for every body.

Why does a Stradimarius or a Giardini violin sound so great? They tried to replicate it many times. Nobody ever succeeded. It was not the lacker. The story goes, that around the 1700's there was a mini ice-age. Trees grew slower then. Especially on the north side of the Italian Alps. That's where the wood came from. I like this lovely 'broodje aap' story.

I'm not sure if it was French philosopher Pierre Bourdieu who stated that reality is all imagination and imagination is all reality. A deep thought, but not very practical.

How do you get this bunch of sexy women into one blog? Well, years and years of practicing. I blogged them all before. Enjoy these lucious lady's.

• Rita Moreno likes to be in America.

Time Out

I shouldn't be blogging that much new kink - because I have to deal with some previous unfinished blogs. I got some feedback that made me update some other of my blogs - and that takes some time.
[reminds me of some Un-Finnish-Ed kink ... LOL]
[1] I completely restarted the Berlin Alexanderplatz blog. This is an impressive series that needs special attention [takes a few days]
[2] I found some more "best-of" clips from Traci Lords. There are some new tributes to my PC nephew
[3] I updated the Don Giovanni opera blog because Hartmut got me some great new music links
[4] Ooh, shit - what's this sexy girl doing in my blog; must be my Belly-Dance genome-bias


The Shangri-Las

Oh yeah! Girly Groups from the 1960's and 1970's. There's another fan around there that made a whole website about it. You can check all the groups's bio's - great site.

Some time ago I found a 2-CD Best-Of "One Kiss Can Lead To Another". It knocked me down for a week or so (for the romantic songs). You sure must know The Shangri-Las', The Leader Of The Pack.

Bad Taste

Bad Taste poster for a Dutch Festival Great Fun

I got a part-2 DVD some years ago. So, there must be a part-1 (clever thinking). De Nacht van de Wansmaak (The Night of Bad Taste) was a travelling cinema production from two Belgian guys that collected trailers and scenes of worst-ever B-movies. I was belly-up with laughter the first time (DVD-2) and now again from this one (DVD-1).

All footage is English spoken but the introductions are in Dutch. There you can hear the meticulous research and fact-finding that these Flemish guys have done.

A special treat is that these Belgians (Belgians in general) speak better and wittier Dutch language than the Dutch themselves.
For me (as a native Dutch) it is almost half the fun.

The tube-trailer from Inframan; a 1975 sci-fi / kung-fu mixed movie from the famous Hong Kong Shaw Brothers production company;


words from imdb:
In an unusual format, entitled 'The Night of Bad Taste', Flemish movie director Jan Verheyen did, several years in a row, present some eccentric movie-stuff with a long succession of material from pictures that never made it into mainstream, being too gore, obscene, clumsy, sleazy, grotesque etc. to make the production work in its genre - but somehow funny or fascinating in their own right as accidental persiflage, some almost bloopers which (by miracle) survived the final cut.

The full DVD-1 rip can be found here.

I have seen Flesh Gordon (1974) in my adolescent years (when do they ever end). It is one of the movies covered on the DVD. This is definitely a lot more than a 'poster & trailer' movie.

The full movie can be found here. Notice the other entries on this blog - definitely a favorite of mine.

Club Med V

Before we are crossing the Aegean See, we strole around in Greece. This is Herodote territory. He had a great story about the 20 year adventures of King Sailor Odysseus of Ithaca.
Odysseus had himself bound to the mast of his ship by his crew while passing The-Island-Of-The-Sirens to avoid the temptations of their sexy sounds.
When he got home after 20 years, he killed all the lovers of his wife Penelope with a bow & arrow, so heavy, only he could handle it properly [just wondering what he did with his wife].
Wow - so great stories.

Here is a Great Greek Folk album; Domna Samiou - Kaneloriza. The nice thing is that the .rar expands into Greek language tokens which is totally incomprehandeable for non-Greek people. Here is just a sexy sounding song to get you some idea.

[Greece = no belly-dance, but we are very close now]

Fatima

Holy Maria of Fatima - or what ever great chick this is ...

Fatima is actually my Muslim girl at checkout #2 in my daily supermarket. She has beautiful green eyes and she does a hot belly-dance [when you ask her friendly]

Club Med VII

Sophia, Constantinople; mixture of Byzantine and Orthodox Christianity

At last we arrived in bellydance country. Now I need your guidance. This style of music goes all over the south-eastern mediterranian; Turkey, Anatolia, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Egypt and many other countries around the Mediterranean. There are definite regional and historical styles that we (from Amsterdam) can not keep apart. If you want to comment, please feel free.

Santa

(Sorry, Dutch again). Some thoughts crossed my mind, about Dutch language and Saint Nicolas. It gives me really some kicks when people master their native speak in an artful and funny way. It’s not about high literature (but we Dutch have some); this is about some blogging frantics. It’s all in Dutch and the readability is 5/5.

- Fruit Cake is just a Fruity Cake, a Dutch language wizard
- Verbal Jam comments on recent Dutch developments – great too
- Geen Stijl (No Style) is making a fool of every public figure

We are now here preparing for Saint Nicolas day on the 5th of December. It has many relations with the Christmas Santa Claus story. This is probably the ‘mother-poem’ from 1844 (by Clement Clarke Moore) with a lot of Dutch and German words in it;

Twas the night before Christmas, when all thro' the house,
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,

While visions of sugar plums danc'd in their heads,
And Mama in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.

Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters, and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow,
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below;
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,

But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny rein-deer,
With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and call'd them by name:

"Now! Dasher, now! Dancer, now! Prancer, and Vixen,
"On! Comet, on! Cupid, on! Dunder and Blixem;
"To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
"Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!"

As dry leaves before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky;
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,

With the sleigh full of Toys -- and St. Nicholas too:
And then in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.

As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound:
He was dress'd all in fur, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnish'd with ashes and soot;
A bundle of toys was flung on his back,

And he look'd like a peddler just opening his pack:
His eyes - how they twinkled! his dimples how merry,
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry;
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow.

And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow;
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath.

He had a broad face, and a little round belly
That shook when he laugh'd, like a bowl full of jelly:
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
And I laugh'd when I saw him in spite of myself;

A wink of his eye and a twist of his head
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And fill'd all the stockings; then turn'd with a jerk,

And laying his finger aside of his nose
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose.

He sprung to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew, like the down of a thistle:

But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight
Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night.

The 5th of December is basically a children’s party with lots of gifts and candy. But Jiskefet made this eternal hilarious and gory sketch (for adults only). Dutch language can be very stimulating (“Tja, daar wordt Sinterklaas niet erg vrolijk van, Edgar”).

The Jiskefet Santa sketch – tube.1
The Jiskefet Santa sketch – tube.2

Hans Teeuwen is playing Santa here. He is a very confronting and great Dutch Comedian – confronting himself with some Dutch Muslima’s here – great guy.
