An icon remembered.c

Ok, so here is the story.  Last night, Veronicia and I were cleaning up from a beading party.  (More on that at a later date).  Anyhoo.... Staci and Don have a stereo system in their new house that plays in speakers all over the house, and there are little control stations in numerous rooms.  Well, Don hears a Belinda Carlisle (his fave!!) song come on and turns it up.  

He has always embraced his feminine side.  Then, someone yells at me to grab my camera, 

  because Johnnye and Gabbi are slow dancing in the kitchen. 

I think the next song that came on was by Michael Jackson.  So, naturally, we all get into that conversation!  Of course, Don being the music afficianado (sp?) that he is, he cranks up his iPod to all the Michael Jackson songs.

Even Gabbi liked the change of tempo! 
Rock it, girl.  Throw that arm up in the air.  And wave it like you just don't care!  
and then it kinda went a whole new direction entirely!  
All the memories came flooding back to us!  We started pulling out Michael Jackson moves we had no idea we could remember!  
Remember this zombie move?  Isn't that Thriller?  See what I mean?  You can't remember until the music comes on, and then your body just takes over! 
Staci may be the champ-een  at remembering Michael's moves.  
I don't think mom let me watch as much mTV as Staci did, because she was reliving videos with scary detail! 
Oh no she dint pull out that whole scene in the street dance.  What was it?!  I dunno.  Mom had me watching LPB. (Louisiana Public Broadcasting!)
Oh, yea.  This is more of that dance.  Remember?  That little pelvic back and forth thing as they came at you sideways? 
Maybe Paula's rendition will be more helpful. 

We are considering just building one big bridge from the three of our houses.  Seriously, aren't we together , like, every night?!  And I said it will be a good thing because we will not have to buy many go out clothes from now on.  I mean, we could really get by with tee shirts and pajama bottoms.  That is what we wear around each other anyway.  In fact, although I didn't capture it, Cynthia, from across the street, WAS over in her pajamas!  But, she is 42 and pregnant with her 5th, so I wouldn't blame her if she totally quit bathing and never got OUT of her pj's! 
Not sure WHAT move emma is doing up there!?

Even my no-dancing Todd got into the groove! 
He was twirling me around and I was just hangin' on! 
The middle of the kitchen was the dancefloor.  And each person took a turn. 
When a particularly good song came on, Don would crank it up! 
OMg.  Is she back?!  And with more of the video moves! 
Mom, you should have kept a closer watch on her.  She was corrupted! 
Staci, if you sprain your ankle, you are going to have to pay with your insurance like everyone else.  I mean it.  You have been warned! 
I think I have mentioned before that Todd hates to get in pictures with Don.  It is just a long standing joke.  SO, Don's mission in a group setting is to sneak up behind him and do something stupid.  Got him! 
This is Don's, "I think I  am dancing so awesome" face.  He is riding/spanking the pony dancing in the pic.  ??????
and this?  Paula....
Yes, Michael Jackson DID grab his crotch a lot, but I don't recall him patting it or acting like it had a flap.
Hmmmm???
Let's just chalk it all up to this....
