Fame!
I had to take my daughter, Isabella,
to see the new Fame movie on opening weekend.
Not only was it something she was bugging
me to see, but the movie holds great memories
for me since I was extremely affected by
the original that was released in the 80’s.
I remember going to the theater with my
mother to see the original and leaving wanting
to dance 24 hours a day, sacrificing anything
and everything to do so. It was only a few
years after that night that I flew down
to Los Angeles to audition as a back up
dancer for the TV version of Fame and got
it!
I spent a
season being an “on-again / off-again”
back up dancer, experiencing the hard work
that went into being on a Television show.
I woke up at 5 am, got to the MGM set by
7 am only to rehearse for hours and then
have it all changed 15 minutes before filming.
When given the little plastic bag of what
we were to wear for that day we would all
pile in the bath room with safety pins altering
the obviously 70’s leotards. We rolled
up the sides of the leotards and pinned
them under to have a higher leg line. (We
all had to look like the Solid Gold Dancers,
ya know??) When it was time to shoot they
would bring in Gene Anthony Ray (Leroy),
if he made it to the set that day, and when
Debbie Allen was directing it made the experience
all the more of a learning experience.

Scrunchy Pants - NEW COLORS! ~
Here they are
-- the incredibly versatile drawstring pants!
Suhaila designed these pants so you can be comfortable,
look good and move -- all at the same time. You
can pull the drawstrings on the sides of the hips
to draw up the overskirt for a more fitted look
. . . or you can relax the drawstrings so the
overskirt hangs down. You can leave the leg loose
for a boot cut look -- or you can pull the drawstrings
to lift the pant leg.
 ** ** **
We find that we get a lot of repeat customers
for these pants because they wear well, can be
machine washed/dried, and are so versatile. Available
in black, our most popular color. Now also available
in teal, purple, grey, and chocolate!
$74.95 Each

Limited Edition Harem Pants ~
Now for a limited time...Harem Pants in Chocolate!

One of the first Suhaila Designs
pants -- these are classic. The bottoms have drawstrings;
you can keep the drawstrings in
for a harem pant look, or you can remove them
so the leg flares like a boot cut pant with a
slit. These pants are prewashed to
prevent shrinkage. They are incredibly comfortable.
Available in S, M, and L. Also available in Black.
