Cairo shopping list

[mekyria]

 The financial situation over here is not looking too bright, hoping I can sell stuff before going to Egypt. On the other hand, who needs food when you can get a custom made Eman?

Wants:

*I want a mermaid costume. Badly. Is it wrong of me? Thought maybe Eman had ideas on making something more suitable to my complexion, as I'm not a pale redhead.
*maybe a sahar or an eman, something sleek in a bold print. Maybe both.
*Pharonix: she has an all crystal bra/belt set I had my eyes on for years. Don't know if she still makes them, but I'd love one of those. 
* shamadan (big plans on expanding my dance vocabulary. And if it doesn't work out, I can always use it as a chandelier)

I'm good to go on the following items, if you're with me in Cairo please remind me that I don't need:
-Folkloric stuff (have melaya, saidi and baladi stuff)
-hipscarves (though I need an all beads one for teaching purpose. ONE hipscarf, no more)
-beaded fringe or more costuming supplies. Except if I can find huge sew on stones or crystals.

I persuaded Eman to make me a mermaid costume in a stronger colour (you are right the standard ones are all pale and wishy washy) and there was no problem

Although I saw that fabric in another costume so I only had to say I want this design but in this fabric.

For Pharaonics, I'm taking along along a picture of the costume I want (stolen from the BDStore website), so I can be clear about EXACTLY what I want.

Also there's a fabric district, where I'm sure you can get TONS of supplies (stones/crystals, fringing, sequins) at dirt cheap prices. It's right behind the Khan el Khalili.

ETA- bother! Those are the things we're supposed to STOP you buying!

but if there are tons available, it wouldn't hurt to take a peek, now would it *self-enabler mode off*

I might have to take your wallet into protective custody!

You rock tropical colors and I am sure a warm or boldly colored mermaid eman would look exotic and cool as hell on you!

I want to be an ass-kicking mermaid like Ozma!
