May 12

First things: NO copyright infringement is intended. This is an exercise.

My 'friend' Marianne at work is always coming up with brilliant ideas for me. She was the tree climbng person, the boxing glove person etc etc. She dared me to re-create this scene from the movie Flash Dance. I've never seen the movie, so I had to read the synopsis: a hard working girl longs to dance professionally; she has just come home from a date, throws off her dating duds, and climbs into her normal atttire. I had to go to a friend for the shoes which are 3 sizes too big and won't stay shut-about 6" spikes that I nearly broke my neck on, running back and forth from the camera. The sweatshirt was enhanced by ripping off the collar and sleeves (Marianne, again) and I was lucky to get one shot without the cat walking thru.

I dance, but very similar to Elaine, in Seinfeld, lol.

Am travelling tomorrow night so I couldn't make Marianne wait another week for this.


other sizes: small medium large original auto

So-o-o creative Karen!
Karen Stuebing13-May-2005 09:43
LOL at you running back and forth. That's the main problem with SPs. However, this one made it worth the effort. Excellent job. Like the addition of the caption and graphics too.

What Dennis said is my main recollection of this movie.
Nice reenactment, well done.
Dennis Steinauer13-May-2005 04:33
Just fantastic, Karen! OK, for your next trick, let's see you taking off your bra from under your sweatshirt without taking off the sweatshirt or pulling your arms back through the arm holes. (You may want to rent the movie for that one.) :-)
