Belly dancers waiting to go on stage. The woman on the far right was quite a curvy lady and had very obviously had kids, quite a large stomach complete with a C-section scar. And she just got up there and was dancing away quite unselfconcsiously. I thought it was fantastic actually. People forget, or for some don't even realise that the whold size debate that goes on in the lives of so many women is very culturally specific. Skinny is NOT beautiful in many many cultures around the world. The pressure to look a certain way and hide if you don't is very strong and I think these women were really cool getting up and doing their thing.
