Thought I would share

One of the most embarrasing moments of my entire life. While at the time IT WAS NOT FUNNY, now I look back and laugh hysterically at myself. Enjoy!

So when I as 22 ( 6 years ago!oh my! ) Me, Trish and Cathie found out there was a lady starting hip hop dance classes in Ocala. Well the 3 of us danced together in high school and thought it would be fun to take the class.

There were a couple of "downfalls" to the class. The main one being it was mostly teenagers. There was maybe 4 or 5 others older than us but still, teenagers can be annoying at times.
The good thing was it was a GREAT work out and BOY WE WERE SO SKINNY BACK THEN.....we would leave and be so sweaty it looked like we had jumped in a pool NO LIE. IT WAS GREAT......plus we were 3 of the best in the class if I do say so myself.

So onto my shame.

We decide that WHAT THE HELL we will be in the recital that year.

We danced to......are ya ready?

Don't laugh too hard....

So we are shown our costumes and they are U-G-L-Y....I AM TALKING IT LOOKED LIKE A TRASH BAG, but again we were in it for the fun of it so the trashbags we would wear....not happily but we would wear them.....we also were forced to do our hair like the "Simply Irresistible" girls. If that wasnt enough we had to glue rhinestones in our hair in the shape of a barrette.......lovely...

I am not even to the embarassing part.......are you dying yet?

While the song is kinda LAME and rather old the routine was really cool. The beginning was started out in pitch, black darkness and we did a neat thing with flashlights.....IT WAS COOL REALLY IT WAS, YOU HAD TO SEE IT, I know sounds lame but it wasnt. When the flashlights part was over everyone gets off the stage.........the lights turn on and a group of us dramatically come sliding out onto the stage on our knees..............
are ya with me?

Well as I mentioned earlier our costumes were like black trashbags....literally, the material was really slick and EXTREMELY THIN. Oh yeah and we werent aloud to wear underwear.....we had to wear black tights.

Okay now for the humility of it all:

I am standing just off stage after our flashlight part......I am pumped up for my GRAND ENTRANCE onto the stage, my dramatic slide that I have worked so hard on for months and months to perfect........the slide that I have bruised my knees for and ripped several pair of dance pants in the knees learning to do. I am SOOO ready to get out there and SHAKE MY BOOTY!

The lights COME ON

I take a running start.........


...........I slide professionally across the floor when IT HAPPENS......



What is that draft?


I look down..................



MY WORST NIGHTMARE.




When I slid....my pants slid.............



ALL THE WAY DOWN TO MY KNEES!


It happened so quickly....My mind was racing...................

WHAT DO I DO??

.....the next "move" was kind of a fan of the legs and then a hop up to your feet.....instead I did some AWFUL jacked up backspin, and while on my back and pulled my pants up....very quickly.

The whole routine, all I could think of was that the ENTIRE audience saw my PRIVATE REGIONS!
Near the end......Cathie is next to me....we turn to the right and so her back is to me and my front is to her back.....I am still MORTIFIED but "the show must go on" so I am dancing as hard as I can with a fake plastered on smile Our next move was sort of a bend and then you stick our butt out.....Cathie bends and what happens?


I notice her pants are split right down the middle.....and with each shake, bend and wiggle, I CAN SEE HER BUTT CRACK!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA

Trish is the only one of us that didnt have a costume malfunction of some sort.....I wasnt the only gal who lost her pants during that dance or split her pants for that matter........I am *told* no one noticed......
I am wondering if they are just being nice though!!!
