Addison



Addison came into the studio with her mother and was introduced to a panel of two women judges for admittance to the pageant school, I think. The other girls already in the school were present snickering at her rough abrasive abrupt unladylike personality. 

The woman is a mess. She says, "Now watch my hips" as she taps both her own shoulders, then "We'll do it together to the right," while orienting her body for moving left, the girl adapts to her dodgy instructions brilliantly.

This is one of the reality shows, Kim of Queens. 

Through all the nonsense and raw goofiness the girl says something touching. At length the woman asks the girl directly, "What do you want to learn out of this?"  Addison answers, "To be a girl."

"That. I can work with."

In the off topic, late night, Not Quite What I Was Thinking Department, MrM turned up at the airport tonight, bearing a bag of Crunch Time Granola Toffee that he'd been given at the job site by a guy he works with whose wife makes it and sells it online. He said he didn't open the bag this time around, because last time he'd been given a bag to take home, he ate the whole thing himself. Now that I've tasted it, I understand how that happened. It's pretty good. Toffee with twist, if not a tap in another direction.

If you love that toffee then that does it! I'm going to offer toffee classes here at my apartment for a few people around here and see if they want to do it.

After all, I made it once and it turned out great, that makes me an expert.

Because = I find it addictive too.

But I notice that does not have the chocolate coating with the fuzzy roasted nut outer layer. It is the multi-layer that makes the Enstrom and my imitation of it appealing. Without those two layers on both side it is like peanut brittle.

But this is splitting hairs -- fitting something to a tight definition, a too narrow template.

But veering even further off topic of tap dancing girl, this page on the origin of British county names has Nottingham derived fro OE for "home of Snot's people."

And Manchester derived from Brythonic word meaning "breast like hill," the Man part, from mamma, not the chester part.

And that made me think, "Hey! That's just like Grand Titons and The Great White Norks."

Knowyershire! She adds "a covering of dark chocolate and a sprinkling of fine pecans" upon request, so be sure to work the word "fine" or something about "fine nuts" into your class invitation.

We need more girls and less womyn.

I love tap. That teacher looks so much more agreeable than the one from Dance Moms.

I really admire people with the kind of body smarts that this girl shows. By that I mean she's able to pick up a dance step and duplicate it almost immediately. This I could never do, not after ten tries.

Fun energy and freedom. As goofy as the leader is, she comes across as real and Addison picks up on that dynamic without allowing herself to be bulldozed into submission.

In addition to the politics and current event issues, posts like this add a nice flavor to this blog. Similar to butter crunch.
