Ever wondered what happened to all those dot.com high flyers? After the Internet blow-out, one former Web executive is now making ends meet by belly dancing at Habibi's restaurant.

Hong Kong-born Candice, 27, says she has no regrets trading in her business suit for the seven veils at Wellington Street's popular Egyptian eatery.

According to her boss, Hosni Eman, the restaurant's stage has been the crash mat for several other one-time high flyers. 'We have another who used to be a producer at Star TV,' he says. Candice dances at Habibi most Friday nights.
