Mother of the Bride Formal Evening Dress #2552ReviewsIt didn't show the color I was ordering in the window. When I got it, it had blue iridescent beads on it, and the olive color was too light. The sleeves were a funky see-through lace. Amazon charged me a 20% restocking fee (!) and the postage to return the dress was $11.75. You only have 5 days to request the RMA. I was very disappointed in Amazon. I have had great service up till this order. This dress is exquisite. Lovely feminine lace. Workmanship is excellent. Arrived quickly and well packaged. I would recommend both the vendor and the item. Average Rating:![]() |

As a result of the rise of Samoan communities in highly concentrated hip hop areas such as Los Angeles, CA, American Samoans have built up a reputation for themselves of being highly skilled dancers and athletes. This stereotyping based on physicality put pressure on Samoan communities in the United States because of nervous law enforcement officials who would frequently assault the Samoan men and women. Despite this racial stereotyping, dance was a way through which young Samoans could gain respect and earn social status. It acted as a diasporic currency where dance styles and mastery of hip hop breakdancing skills of locking, and popping signified a connection of this community which was assumed to be 'foreign' with its fellow Americans. While women were mostly restrained from their expression of hip hop dance, many Samoan men became professional dancers and entered the American music industry. Suga Pop, and Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E. are examples of this. The involvement of Samoans in street dance and hip hop music in America has impacted the Samoan cultural production in other places where Samoans have settled. A transmission of culture between the American Samoan community and its Pacific origin (i.e New Zealand, Hawaii) took place. This resulted in a mimicking of not only music and dance styles but of the fashion of American hip hop as well. Samoan dance crews copied the popping and locking dance forms while wearing Adidas track suits- a style very commonly associated with Queens based hip hop group Run DMC. As a result of the American Samoan community's rising recognition, performers such as Snoop Dogg and Lord Tariq have collaborated with various American-based Samoan and Pacific artists
