One of the girls is Priscilla Lopez. I'm not sure who the other one is.

Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married.

Are you sure one is Priscilla Lopez, D2? They look a little older than Ms. Lopez would have been at the time. One looked an awful lot like Mary Louise Wilson to me. I'm sure it wasn't but who knows? Anyone?

I killed the boss, you don't think they're gonna fire me over a thing like that!!!!

Well, now that I've gone back and looked at it again, I'm not sure Matt. Sure looks like her in some angles, but in others...

Too fab, PJ. I just sent it to one of Gwen's biggest fans.

I agree that one with the weird head movements looks a lot like MLW.

One of my friends says that one of the girls is Kathryn Dobie, who was also in Pippin and the movie of Cabaret.

It looks like it comes from "Maude: The Musical"

Maybe it's the "God will get you for that, Walter" number...

Just watched it again.
Who wouldn't kill to be able to create something equal to that minor bit of Fosse? And Gwen is so freaking cool!

I agree, Glebby.

The most staggering thing about it is how they all make it look so easy... like anybody could dance it, and anybody could come up with it. As brilliant as it is, it feels "inclusive." This is "us" on stage, dancing, and having a good time.

It's the same thing I have always said about Fred Astaire and Bing Crosby. Everyone watches Fred and thinks they could dance like that. See how easy he makes it seem? Same thing with Bing. Everyone thinks he's just "shower singing."

This, of course, until you try to dance like Fred or sing like Bing.

Then you see the genius and realize the real "magic" in their talent was making us THINK we could all do it just like them. They worked SO HARD to make it come of as "effortless."

I think Gwen and Bob did the same thing. They made it seem easy and natural... simply an extension of our human expression. It was reachable and understandable. Identifiable.

In truth, it was FAR from it.

Truly remarkable.

No, it doesn't really fit that "Walk It Out" song.

"Mexican Breakfast" has a light playfullness that doesn't fit the back-beat, humorlessness of that song.

And Gwen and the other girls "booties" are nearly large enough...

I gotta admit, I was a little taken aback at Gwen's extension - at this, what I assume to be, 'late date'.

You GO, Girl!
