My disco girls

Right up front, I have to make a confession: I love disco. It's my secret, guilty pleasure. I owe it to being born in 1977, at disco's apex. Well, I think it was the only year that disco was popular... In any case, I love it. And I will not tolerate being teased about it. Now on with the blog entry.

Once upon a time, "my disco girls" referred to my highschool girl friends. On special occasions we would get dolled up in our disco gear and go out for a night on the town (or in someone's basement). Now "my disco girls" refers to Maïa and Solanne. I am happy to report that they both enjoy dancing to disco music (especially the Bee Gees). This makes me tremendously happy.


Here is Maïa dancing, using the moves I've taught her.



By the way, in case you're wondering what she's wearing... it's her brand new raincoat and spring hat. I bought them today, she's been wearing them all afternoon and evening.


And here is Solanne. The music is in the background, so listen carefully for it. These are her very own moves, which we've dubbed the "Alligator Dance" (check out the moves with her hands: it looks like an alligator's chomping jaws).
