US Belly Dance Belts Thinner than Italian Belts


Italian promotional poster – From Russia with Love – including fantastic belly dance image and Gypsy chick fight. Which got me wondering – what does the English language version look like? So I looked around and found the US version… Check out the differences in what the belly dancer is wearing. In the US version her costume belt is far lower and she is drawn with more clarity and detail. The artwork looks less like the same artist, and more like it was “redrawn” to produce a more aesthetically or culturally appealing message.
