Mid Summer Bottom
It's dance recital time again! I LOVE IT! I am STAGE MOM EXRAORDINAIRE!
My girls are doin' several hip hop numbers and A Midsummer Night's Dream Ballet.
I love that play because I once played Helena in a Shakespeare production. I am sure it will shock you that I was a complete and total DRAMA FREAK. LOOK AT MEEEEEEEEE!
I have an obsession with donkeys because I learned about The Birds and The Bees by observing actual donkeys in ACTION. Also, in the Bible there is an account of a TALKING donkey so it was a spiritual endeavor as well.
When I saw this donkey head on one of the male dancers I KNEW I HAD to have a photograph with it on my person.
The dancer that wears it is a dance major at the U of A. I have NO IDEA how one does ballet with an enormous donkey head. It's really HOT in here and I totally can't see A THING! I hope he doesn't fall off the stage. That would be simultaneously tragic and hilarious.
The donkey's name is BOTTOM! Shakespeare was CLEARLY a genius given this info alone.
Do you like my silver stilleto? Yes? ....Thank you.
All the little girls are running around in funky 80's costumes. I'm jealous. Tomorrow I will also sport an 80's outfit because I don't want to feel left out.
Watch out for my uber 80's look tomorrow! It will give you something to look forward to because I know this blog I write is VERY important to you.
PS I realize I look like a TOTAL ASS! BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA HHHEEEEEEEE HAAAAWWWWWWWWW! (Donkeys don't actually say 'hee haw'. It's a lie.)
