a mighty long way...

...from "Christina child!" as a belly dancer during the indoor Zoo Tv, to this pretty scary fairy "Xtina X" in Grimfaeris....

also, according to this interview (link below), she also has a child. She still owns the red belly dancer costume from the Zoo Tv performances:

I thought Edge married that belly dancer. Is this her?

 

[U2isthebest]

Morleigh, Edge's wife, took over for the original belly dancer who had to leave the show for a reason I'm not remembering now. That's not Edge's wife in the pic. though.

You're not serious, right?

Edge married Morleigh Steinberg, the second belly dancer, who took over for Christina Petro (the girl at the picture above), after she couldn't continue dancing after the second leg (indoor Europe 1992). Reportedly there were rumours about some drugs.

 

[BonoFox1]

[Galeongirl]

I don't remember hearing anything about drugs before only that she didn't want to continue overseas as she had commitments in Florida. She was a fan from South Florida who was showing up outside the rehearsals in costume and Jake Kennedy brought her onstage I think during the dress rehearsal as a joke surprise for Bono who has a weakness for bellydancers. She did the first US leg but chose not to continue overseas. Morleigh was the band's choreographer and simply took over the dancing part.

Wow.... what a change!

I've never heard anything about drugs but I also don't even know anything about this girl other than she was the 1st dancer. I do know that either interference or @u2.com, but I think it was this site, interviewed her a few years ago. There used to be an interview section long ago.....

 

[Edgette]

Morleigh is better.

 

[Carek1230]

I agree Morleigh is better. That is one scary pic of Christina Petro I must say!

 

[Edgette]

Morleigh -

As the interview from here explains, it's performance art...with a concept like 'Grim Faeries' you wouldn't expect some twee Tinker Bell getup.

Dunno that Christina has "fallen". Before she was a staff member for someone elses artistic direction. If I'm reading this situation correctly Christina is now running her own show. Tis always better to be your own boss, I reckon.

 

[Bonochick]

That looks cool...and I'd sure hope she still had that red bellydancer costume! How could you not hold onto something like that?

You've got a very good point there.
