Burlesque

I'm a dreamer. I like to fantasize & dream about things I wish would happen or things I wish I could do. Sometimes after a phone call I lay in my bed & picture what it would be like if that role play did happen. Or I dream about bein in the arms of the guy I just talked to. Sometimes I dream about a shoppin trip & the guy buys me anythin I want. One night I was waiting for calls when I saw a tv show coming on. The title was so kewl that I thot I waz gettin ready to watch a porn movie. I propped up on my pillow & for the next 2 hours I cudn't take my eyez off that movie. It waz called "Burlesque" with Christina Aguilera and Cher. It waz about a bar where the girlz did shows on the stage. Cher owned the bar & the girls danced in hot costumes. They didn't totally take their clothes off but they did sexy dances. The girls lip synced to the songs. One time a girl got mad cause Christina's character was goin to take her place that night & turned the music off. Christina suddenly belted out the song without the music & the show was saved. I waz fascinated at the music cuz I luv Christina Aguilera any way. I luved the costumes. By the middle of the show I waz dreamin that I was on the stage singin & dancin at the Burlesque club. When the show was over, I backed up my dvr & watched it again. It waz better the second time. After it waz over I backed it up & watched it again. I guess I got obsessed with the show cuz I saw it more than I can count now. I know all the songs & am learnin the dances. I luv it.

I seem to have a way of gettin in trouble at school cuz of my "dreams". Remember when I wrote & told you about the song "she git it from her momma"? Welp, last week I had to write a paper about what we wanna be when we graduate & I wrote that I wanna be a burlesque dancer. I used the lyrics to the song "Express" in my paper. Not all of 'em. Just my favorite part:


It's a cold and crazy world that’s ragin’ outside
Well baby me and all my girls are bringin’ on the fire
Show a little leg, gotta shimmy your chest
It’s a life, it’s a style, it’s a need, it’s burlesque
E-X-P-R-E-S-S.
Love, sex, ladies no regrets
E-X-P-R-E-S-S.
Love, sex, ladies no regrets
Been holding down for quite some time
And finally the moment’s right
I love to make the people stare
They know I got that certain savoir faire."







To add a little pizazz to my paper I printed off Christina's picture in that scene & pasted my face over hers & turned it in. When the bell rang we were told to hand it to the professor as we passed the desk to leave. I purposely waited to be the last one out. When I got to the door, I turned around to see what his face looked like when he saw my paper. At first his eyebrows went up & his mouth opened in surprise. Then in just a sec he laffed & kinda shook his head back n forth. I left & went down the hall singin "show me how you burlesque"!
