Death wears hotpants ...................
I have to start this one with an LOL..... because I was CRACKING UP WHEN I SAW THIS. Two of my girls and I decided to go to the Dance Theatre of Harlem performance in St. Louis. Of course the show was marvelous, however there was a comical moment. There were two performances- a classical ballet and an adaptation called St. Louis Woman. The story took place in St. Louis in the roaring 20's. The stage was set at this bar in close proximity to a horse track. The bar owner has this beautiful, but naive girlfriend who is completely smitten with him, and he with her. UNTIL (duhn dunh, dahhhhhh- the trombone like music sounds off) the new gorgeous, sultry vixen enters the picture. The popular jockey and the bar owner are both going after this woman full force. Here's where things get a little comical. In dances this taunt, and tone man wearing the following ensemble- black tuxedo tails, a white tank top, a bow tie, a sleeveless black jacket, a top hat, a white eye mask, and last but not least- YES THE TIGHTEST AND SHORTEST BLACK HOT PANTS THAT I'VE SEEN SINCE the "It's your birthday" video by Luke shortly after the untimely dissolution of Too Live Crew!!! Okay the fact of the matter is, this man is prancing around and NO ONE is seemingly noticing that he's there. Let's stop and assess this one- how is it that you aren't going to NOTICE a man wearing some hot pants dancing around in the middle of this play. My friends and I are sitting here cracking up because this really does look thoroughly ridiculous. We've come to the conclusion that this man has to have some marked role in this play for him to be prancing around in this ridiculous ensemble. We squint and look in the program and find out hot pants man is supposed to represent death. So, "Death wears hot pants"...... hey me and my girls thought it was hilarious- we got a nice little kick out of it. Someone really ought to share and my delight and giggles about this one. ahhhhh well
