Me: high-waisted drawers have never looked so hot... and can we talk about our poses? Em clearly has mastered the Urkel, but Elise and I are meandering somewhere down another path more commonly used in old films about the Gold Rush of '49 or the musical Oklahoma ... the off-off-off-off-off Broadway version... you know, very 'surrey with the fringe on top.'

Me: on second thought, perhaps Elise is attempting to lead us in jazzercise.

Elise: In response to Allison's ever-so off-broadway Oklahoma Theory: I would consider this outfit a vast improvment since my former "Surrey With A Fringe On Top" days. Thats right. Kristie Wright School of Dance recital, circa 1994. White TIGHTS, Black Tap Shoes, NEON GREEN and white PLAID and LOTS OF TOILLE. And a matching, over-sized, head-bow of course. Think Good-Ship Lollipop, meets Appalachia, attacked by our favorite Ghostbusters character, Slimer. Every time I hear that damn song I end up in a corner somewhere clutching my knees and rocking back and forth. Shuffle, ball-change...shuffle, ball-change....

Me: well at least YOUR mother doesn't choose that dance costume photograph to display in full glory in the sun room of your house. note: we are not a photo-display kind of household. you will not find gargantuan family portraits or snapshot collages. diana selects her display photos quite carefully, thus giving each one a certain significance...
and she totally has my fourth grade recital portrait (one of 2 framed shots of me in the entire house, I might add) in it's awkward splendor - it's Pre-Op Allison, don't you worry - with a SIDE PONYTAIL, white tulle skirt that makes me look like a floating cupcake, and large fake rose not-so-elegantly displayed in my little stick arms...
so basically I shall be joining you in the corner-hiding/twitching/rocking back and forth/crying on the inside/anxiety/remorse behavior. oh, and since that was a ballet costume, I suppose I shall be forced to conclude with an arabesque... twirl... arabesque... twirl...
