Belly Dancer Tribute 12/7/11: Dondi (San Diego, CA)
I was first exposed to Dondi from her cover photo on The Jewel of the Desert, from the movie the Scorpion King starring hottie Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson.  My sister had a HUGE crush on The Rock!  I still have magazine page cut out of a picture of The Rock, Jr. that she loved.  I loved all of the Mummy movies, including the Scorpion King.  But the Scorpion King took it one step further for belly dance.  That movie included a soundtrack, The Jewel of the Desert, and bellydancers in the movie!  I love that movie so much!  And I love the movie CD soundtrack from Dr. Samy Faraq featuring Dondi as the cover girl!  I am in awe of that beledi dress she is wearing.  Wish I had one, wish I had the smoking  bod like Dondi to wear.  You are fierce Dondi and it shows!  I have also followed her career and loved her tribute to Marilyn Monroe in the Belly Dance Superstar Tour.  Check her out at:
