It's something every Jane Austen hero(ine) did at some point. I've been to the meeting rooms in Bath where the dances were held in Ms. Austen's day. A fashion museum is housed in the building now but I snuck a couple of pictures of the room where her family would have gathered with the rest of Bath to dance and most likely gossip. The room is roped off so the pictures are kinda dark and fuzzy.
Nobody puts Elizabeth Bennett in a corner. Well, Mr. Darcy tried to ignore her. But look where that got him. (Deeply in love with her, of course).
Which, of course, is my clever(!) way of connecting Jane Austen to Jennifer Gray. Nobody puts Baby in a corner.
Leading me to Dancing with the Stars. A talent show where the best dancers move on to the next week. A dancing show where people famous in their own right, i.e. actual stars, compete to show their talent. Except this year.May the best dancer win.
So this Monday, even if you don't watch the show, go to Abc.com at 8 pm. Click on shows, choose Dancing with the Stars, and click on Vote Now. Vote for Jennifer Gray as many times as possible. Since Brandy left, unfairly, Jennifer has consistently been the best dancer throughout the whole season.
May the best dancer win. And that's Baby, all grown up.
