My Mom Sees Gay Jazz Hands & Thinks of Me

My mom posted this picture on my Facebook wall and said, “Saw this and thought it was cute; reminded me of you.”

We have come a long way since the days when I reminded her of Queen Latifah. “There’s something in the eyes!”

Aunt Carol Is A Delightful Dancer

Have you ever been hungover on a Saturday morning and sometime between your first Thai food delivery of the day, your third episode in an SVU marathon and the time you pour yourself a drink in order to get on with your life, you end up stumbling upon a channel airing a senior chair workout?

You chuckle to yourself until you realize you can’t even move from the couch to peel off the jeggings you wore last night and dry heave when you think about going for a walk to the kitchen to get water. Then you realize these senior workouts are more intense than the squats you do going from your office chair to the bathroom and suddenly you understand the chair-workout hype.

One graduate of the senior chair workout program is Aunt Carol*. Aunt Carol’s dance routine choreographed to Usher’s “Leave The One I’m With” (because A to the C is a ballaaa’) shows how senior chair exercises are the new pilates. I hope they start offering these classes at the JCC sometime soon!

Sweden’s Greatest Exports Are Pop Stars

This song and video combo couldn’t have come at a better time for me. Soso’s “Who’s Gonna Love Me” has a violently sad sex appeal and it was impossible to take my eyes off of the video.

Soso looks like the most beautiful combination of PJ Harvey, Lisa Origliasso, Amy Winehouse and Megan Fox. The song reminds me of Robyn mud wrestling with Lana Del Rey and I couldn’t be more in love if I tried.
