I think she’s wonderful, and I’d love to buy her videos, if she has more.
Thanks, all!

I went to the site Guanolad quoted and found a thread about nude bellydancing and checked it out. Man, that is one prudish bunch of belly dancers!

We can be pretty sure that it’s [not Jackie Cooper](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=508360).

I could be wrong, but it looks like Petite Jamilla, from the Bellydance Superstars. There are a buttload of photos of her on the [Official BDSS site](http://www.bellydancesuperstars.com/community/home.php)- check those out and see if that’s who is in your photo.
If it is PJ, then I’ll tell you one thing- there is NO WAY you can learn what she does through a video. The woman is inhuman with her veil work.

Thanks, **bobkitty**!
No, I’m not trying to figure out her moves — I just really like watching bellydancing. The music, if they are using traditional stuff and especially if they’re using live musicians, just makes me literally beside myself with glee. And I think the way they can isolate each individual vertebra is incredible. I understand that it originated as a way to keep womens’ reproductive systems healthy; and it looks like it does a marvellous job of that.
This particular woman I just think is really beautiful. I wish I looked like that!
And now, a shameless plug for a video I made of [the little girl who I babysit belly dancing, with music I wrote and played myself.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HiHmi2S_RI)

No. No, it doesn’t.
