So there are basically two different scams -- one where they try to trick you into sending a dress while paying with a bad check, the other where they try to try you into wiring them money?  Is that it?

And what can sellers do to protect themselves?  How does Paypal protect you from fraud?

I was thinking about this, and these shirts actually remind me of the guyabera shirts that have been popular for men on the salsa scene forever and ever.

Very flattering for almost every build, IMO.

Aside:Google has changed its picture search algorithm and keeps sending me to stores!  Grrr...

Cool.It's old news for 2013, since the comp was last month.  Never too early to start trolling for volunteers for next year, though. 

If a couple gives volunteer hours, they can get refunded a competitive entry fee.  It's not a lot, but hey.  A dollar's a dollar, AD you get to support a good event and a worthwhile cause.

Is Medira stlll involved, I wonder.

I thought this thread was for "natural" products, which I have to admit baffled me. "Natural" and comp make-up don't go together,IMV.   But now that we're talking fake tan and aquanet, I feel more at home.

Another one for the competitive set (especially for ladies who stone their own costumes)

Are there any ways to get decent stones at a reasonable price? Obviously, we all ant the best quality possible, but the prices really add up quickly.

OTOH, cheaper quality stones can look so... cheap.  

Is there a middle road somewhere?  What do you do to get stoned on the cheap?

Another one for the newbies.

Any tips or pointers for how to get the perfect fit for court shoes?  Any particular styles you like?  Why?

To be honest, I am not  fan of court shoes.  It's hard for me to find a shoe with a comfortable toe box, if I follow the usually fitting recommendations.  Are there any nice court shoes out there with a more rounded toe box?  Pointy toe box = bunion city, soone or later, IMHO.

Any ponters, ladies? (pun acknowledged  )

The idea for this thread came from another PDOer who mentioned having been told that she and her partner made as much progress in a few years as many couples make in twenty years.

This got me thinking. I think  most of us would love to hear that we were making exceptionally quick progress in our dance studies.  But the question I have is HOW to get those kinds of speedy results.  More lessons? More practice? Better coaches?  Or does it all come down to natural ability?

What do you think?

Walk is the best exercise for the core?  Hmm.  Must be some sort of special walking -- making sure to keep the core muscles engaged, maybe?

I can't see a leisurely stroll helping much. *confused*

Has anybody found a comprehensive calendar?  It looks like the info is in bits  and pieces all over the web. 

A quick google gave me this:
