This weekend, we watched Take The Lead (the movie).  I have a guilty pleasure that I’m about to share with you so pay attention.  I love dancing movies.  Dirty Dancing, Honey, Take the Lead… all great movies.  I can’t help it, I’m a girl.  (And I really really really wish I could dance well.)  As they say in the movie, “I’d kill to be able to dance like her.”  Well, probably not kill.  But close.

It is pretty funny, tho.  We happened to watch the first part of it during the week last week, but ran out of time because it was so late.  Then last night, we thought we’d pop it in after a long (oh so very long) day of shopping with my mother and my sister.  So in it goes.  Starts playing.  Now remember I mentioned shopping?  Well, shopping I happened upon this dress that I really didn’t need… but it was so pretty on the rack so I tried it on.  Trying it on felt amazing, and I ended up getting it, but when I was watching the movie I realized why I really wanted it.  It was just like the dresses in the movie that fit those actresses entirely perfectly.  Like it was made for them specifically.   I felt like I could dance just as well as they could just by wearing this dress.  And yes, my reasoning prevents me from really believing that… and the other part of me, (the totally insane part) believes it just a smidgeon.

Someday I’ll take dance classes… and of course wear the dress.  But in the meantime, it goes in the closet for my bridal shower.
