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:
