23/5/03 - "Doin' the Shirley"

Greetings Shirleyphiles and welcome again to another half hour of low fi lovliness! This week it's all about "Doin' the Shirley ". That's right..yours truly has decided that the most sensible and safe way to warm up her penultimate goodness is to dance..dance...and dance a little bit more! So this show is jam packed with some smooth moves and instructions on how to woo and wow the gang at your next mid morning tea and scones fest!

In my trolling about I've picked up a couple of fabulous curiousities (and also a rather nasty rash..but that's another show) to send you into an aural lather. One, by mister Twinkle Toes himself, Fred Astaire called "Attitude Dancing". On this track circa 1975, Fred tries his hand, feet and voice at disco! I kid you not. Yours truly madly and deeply has been sashaying herself silly to this all week and I'm tripping over myself to share it with you. Another, is by some wayward miss called Cathi Stout. This track, "Hips and Abdomen" comes from a Christian exercise (or should that be "exorcise") album called "Special Believercise". Believe it or not! Oh if Tammy Faye Baker would only grab this concept AND produce an accompanying exercise video I'd gladly give my eggs to next gorgeous Mormon couple who knock on my door!

So, throw back the scatter rugs, move the cat out of harm's way and turn up those speakers as we get busy this week, "Doin the Shirley !" Oh....is someone knocking at my door?

Until next time, take absolute care and play fair...

PS. for all my gorgeous "unco" listeners in the Brisbane area, the fabulous Pauline from Abigail's Entertainment has started weekly "Jazzercise" classes! So if you want to "dance to fit into those pants" and learn some very slinky moves to boot, I suggest you, dig out those leg warmers and prepare yourself for a very special brand of aerobic discipline.

Tell her Shirley sent you...you may not get a discount, but you'll sure raise an eyebrow!
