< Sigh> Nobody has even suggested on this thread that it makes someone a bad person if they smoke! If you think there has been a poster please point me to the post. However, I've seen plenty of overreation on this thread from pro smokers just because the topic is even being discussed! Whether you like it or not smoking is generally regarded as an anti social activity that's unhealthy. I don't think it's wrong to question why someone chooses to do it when their profession involves being fit and healthy and in the case of dancing attractive too because let's not forget smoking also ruins your looks over the long term.
I don't disagree with you about the alcohol part - however I'd rather socialise with someone who'd had few drinks and is merry but not drunk than someone whose puffing their cigarette smoke into my space!

You simply do not maintain such a tight frame with such a low bodyfat percentage and -still- keep your boob tissue/fatty tissue. You just don't. That's basic, fundamental biology. You'd sooner see a set of DDs on a triathlete.
I can partially understand why professional dancers opt for the knife - it's so much about the visual aesthetic and sex appeal (particularly in the Latin) that they may feel at a disadvantage if they don't join the surgeon's queue, but personally I think it's a damn shame. Flavia doesn't lose any of her spectacular allure by being naturally athletic all over, if you know what I mean, and I think that a naturally svelte line is actually more appealing. Then again, my tastes may not be the norm.
But natural... ? For crying out loud... wake up.”
Totally agree with the comments re the fake look on this thread - that's one of the reasons why natural Flavia is my all time favourtie dancer on SCD.
Without naming there's actually a few other pros on SCD that I suspect have had boob jobs - but because it seems they've opted for a more 'natural' look it doesn't seem so obvious in their case - but Kristina seems to have gone for the Pamela Anderson clevage look which IMHO is not a good look!
There's a famous belly dancer in Turkey called Didem - I've enjoyed watching quite a few videos of her on youtube - in the early ones she had a natural look and she looked great in the costumes even though she had a small bust - her dancing was amazing and sensual - unfortunately she recently went under the knife on her face and body - she seems to have gone for a Barbie doll look - although she's still a great dancer - I don't enjoy watching her so much now because I find her look particularly her fake boobs distracting!
