Dream Girls

I have heard it said that if you think back to when you were a kid and try to remember what you would tell people when they asked "what do you want to be when you grow up", that is where you will find the most pure answer to that question. I have never forgotten my answers. When I would tell people they would always laugh really hard like I was telling a joke and I could never quite understand why. I always wanted to be a Fly Girl. You may remember them, the dancers from the comedic showcase "In Living Color." And of course, that is where I was first introduced to JLo. I guess it was the follow up to that statement that could be seen as humurous: "And also a Supreme Court Justice." Of course my dream of this was quelched years ago when I realized I had never had a real dance lesson ( I took a few classes in college, but had to ditch too often because of a story that Anais would be happy to share, but one I refuse to put on my blog) and didn't attend an Ivy League law school.

But, I just read in the Washington Post today that Beyonce is conducting a nationwide search for backup dancers for her upcoming international tour. If only I could make it back to the States right now (because THAT is what is standing between me and my dreams!)
