Every successful business requires successful partnerships with vendors, and
without that, your business will fail. One of our most successful
ongoing vendor relationships is with our web hosting service, Acorn
Host. Their support has been exemplary, our uptime has been 100%, they
are locally and woman owned, and they
use green-sourced power. On top of all that, the owner of the company
describes herself as a 'happiness advocate' and a 'joy ninja'. How
could you not love this???
Acorn Host and it's owner, Emma McCreary, exemplify in many ways the same business ethos that we work towards here at MagidahWear.
If you're looking for a web host, I cannot recommend
Acorn Host highly enough!
Also, be sure to check out Emma's excellent blog, the
Tao of Prosperity

MagidahWear is not about size, it's about shape. We reject the 'plus size' label,
because you don't have to be big to have curves. That said, we always appreciate it when a major media outlet reminds the world just how sexy curves really are, no matter what they call it.

Just FYI, this shoot may be a little racy for the workplace, so exercise caution if you're in the office.

Third time is the charm -- I will be performing tomorrow in the finals of the Belly Dancer of the Year competition!! The "naked dress" was mostly a hit, although one judge didn't like it because it looked like I was naked. That is what a mesh dress with a nude liner is supposed to do.....so I guess it worked a little too well. Thanks Emily!

Well, for those of you who don't yet know.....I'm currently looking for a new space to put studio, retail and community performance outlets. I have been renting space in a vintage warehouse in NW Portland, but the group I rent through is losing their collective lease and I am looking at this as an opportunity to find a perfect space. With the help of my sister-in-law and another fellow dancer, we will create a gathering space where women can be themselves and love themselves and their bodies.
I looked at three potential places today, and one felt really good but has posts in the middle of the space that make it difficult to divide up into two studio spaces. The other has lots of possibilities hanging around it but would need *lots* of work. The landlord hasn't made any improvements for almost 20 years and wants to upgrade, but didn't want to re-do everything just to have the next tenant need something completely different. Who knows?? Maybe we'll be able to use that to our advantage......Further updates as warranted.

Wow! Saqra's Showcase was a mind-blowing success! Thank you so much to all of you that came to visit our booth... it was so great to see all your lovely booties, and to hear how much you're loving your MagidahWear!
We were especially pleased to see how well the Tall Inseam pants went over. There were a few of you leggy gals that were skeptical but once you tried them on, had really big grins on your faces!
We were also happy to debut the short-sleeve logowear in colors! Until now, we've only had black, but now you can get your Bootylicious on in the color of your choice!
Thanks again to all you booty revolutionaries out there! Don't forget, we'll be vending at the Bellydancer Of The Year Pageant on May 23rd and 24th. Hope to see you there!

Just so ya know... we're phasing out the Got Booty? logowear, and we'll be offering the Bootylicious logowear exclusively. So, if you like the Got Booty? slogan, be sure to order your long-sleeve or short-sleeve tee before they're gone! We have limited sizes available, so move fast!
