HIPnotize Minds…With Sexy Waist Beads

Sometimes what’s hidden underneath can make you feel so much sexier than that which the world sees. Whether your a panty player, a lace bra broad, or a garter belt girl, concealed accessories scream passionately when sharing them with a special one or even just yourself.

This all came to mind as I pulled out my trusty Waist Beads by Sewra. The only reason they hadn’t seen the light of day is because of the seasonal change (around my belly) and because I had them tucked so neatly away. But today, I’m feeling flirty, fun, and fly so of course, that calls for my waistbeads.

For years, Sewra has handmade one of a kind, sensual, sexy, and colorful waist beads. She initially sold them at various street fairs in Brooklyn and around New York City. And every time I ran into her, I made sure to cop a handful of beautifully woven, intricately designed, hue-full hip beads.

I first fell in love with “waistlaces” during my stay in Senegal where I learned that the colorful hip jewelry was also a secretive, seductive adornment women wore to entice their men. These hidden gems (which can be worn over your clothes stateside, obviously) always seemed like clandestine candy. So needless to say, I was ecstatic to find Sewra’s hand crafted work which I must mention is also very durable.

Celebrating her 10th year of production, Sewra has expanded her designs to include bracelets and body beads featuring an assortment of stones, shells, bones and feathers. You can purchase much of this delicious jewelry at her online Waist Beads Boutique. The other great news… the flattering adornments come in all sizes!
