    William and Mary

    A few weeks back, whilst in the middle of a very nice Dance with David B, we were approached by a man saying we might be just what they are looking for! (oooh.... out of all the great dancers at Hipsters, THEY ARE PICKING ME????)
    Was it for my great dancing skills? alas NOOOOOO!
    It was for my Voluptuous figure! (COUGHS LOUDLY)


    The producers of the TV show 'William and Mary' (which I might add, I've never seen) needed some jivers for an ELVIS party night scene they were doing, apparently it also had something to do with a slimming club. Don't ask me what, I never really got the full SP.

    Anyway, I heard NOTHING, so, for a while I consoled myself that I was probably just tooooo slim for the part (coughs again)
    but then last Thursday eve, the phone rings...I've got the part (Delusions of self image shattered) the filming took place yesterday!

    The day started off badly, sadly my partner wasn't well and couldn't make it, then a journey, that what would normally take 25mins took over 2 hours, so I was an Hour late!


    BUT THEN THE FUN STARTED!
    CONTINUED......

    Men in white Clinging Elvis costumes in abundance, wearing wigs...pure entertainment!

    The looks on the men's faces when the costume man found a suit to fit them was priceless! Not forgetting the wigs!


    The ladies faired a whole lot better! We had makeup and ribbons in hair and all things pretty!
    All ready and time to hop on the bus and get to 'location, luvvy, dahlink'!



    I think we must have looked quite a sight, getting out of the buses next to a senior school!

    Then came my next nightmare, we were partnered off, now Martin won't mind me saying this but if I'm at the South pole of dancing, he's at the North pole! And the track we had to dance to had to be 180bpm, he went into auto pilot 'LINDY HOP STYLE! legs flapping about, knees knocking, facial expressions the lot! HELP ME!
    ARGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
    Take one!
    (Martin darling, quiet word, I don't do lindy, I've never been to a single Lindy class in my life)
    (aww sorry Lorraine, I'll try to keep it simple, just Ceroc moves, ok?)
    (thankyou, I'd appreciate that)
    Take two!
    Music starts, we have to wait 4 bars, then run down the stairs on to the dance floor, First move, Return amd all the normal stuff, for 30 seconds, then Martin goes into auto pilot, lindy style again!

    Repeat of the above for the next 10 takes.


    Love U madly Martin, but we're just a match made in hell! he he he

    Thinsgs did improve later, we swapped partners for the next Track! Martin found a lindy hopper and i found Ash! It was the first time we'd ever danced together but it felt like coming home!


    I think I'll leave someone else to write the rest, my fingers are down to the knuckle!
    Heres a pic of all of us and I'm going to see if I can upload all the pics to a site, so everyone can view them

    Is that so that the players can do the half-time entertainment as well, seeing as how they can't afford to pay proper entertainers anymore

    There is a bonding with shared adversity and several of us went to hipsters afterwards. On site for twelve hours and they reckon to have 6 minutes of finished product in the can.

    If anyone wants to upload pics onto my webspace I'll give you the webmaster's email

    Lory has sent me the video clip she took with her camera on tuesday to put up on my webserver.

    It is 8.6Mb so might take a little while to download, but you can get it here:
