More Middle East Fun(Male Belly Dancing)
« on: January 02, 2008, 08:47:08 AM »
As a female, I gotta say this doesn't appeal to me at all.  :bolt: I hope this doesn't become a trend in the gheyness circles here... :thatsright:

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601109&sid=atLloMTgRlEg&refer=home

Quote
an. 2 (Bloomberg) -- Farid Mesbaah, male belly dancer, hopped on a car in Cairo's Shobra district and strutted his stuff.

He clanged metal castanets, magically converted his hips into pistons and twirled his head around like a centrifuge. The crowd at tables lining a dirt alley clapped rhythmically. Young men in jeans jumped up to wiggle along.

Mesbaah was performing at the opening of the Old-Time Moon Cafe, a gig that -- along with weddings, birthdays, night clubs and circumcisions -- is typical for belly dancers. Untypical, at least in recent years, are performances by men.

Male belly dancing, a centuries-old Egyptian tradition, is making a comeback -- against the odds, considering its periodic suppression by government and religious officials. The problem for Mesbaah is that his craft has long been associated with homosexuality -- a taboo in Egypt.

Umm, ya think?
