Life Imitates Art, Minus the Thong

Posted by Emily Farris

 

Scanner Emily here. One of my conditions for moving back to Kansas City was that I would not become a fat Midwesterner (others involved not getting knocked up or becoming addicted to meth). To make sure that didn't happen, I signed up for Boot Camp—three very early mornings a week I work out very hard while a very small woman yells very loudly. She also plays music, generally a mix of 80's, 90's and a bunch of super-contemporary stuff I've never heard. But imagine my excitement when this song came on today—while I was working out!



No one else in the class could understand why I worked out a lot harder while this played.

Enough about working out.  Why haven't you blogged about the Bacon Explosion (it did originate in KC after all)?

OMG, that's terrific.  Sadly, I remember a lot of those clothes and half those moves from my 80's aerobics instructor days (cringe).
