"There are shortcuts to happiness and dancing is one of them" Vicki Baum

Madonna didn't know the half of it

Now to me shading is something that you do to create a choropleth map but ............ apparently I was wrong. Instead, according to our friend the Prince of England, shading is something you do in a Vogue battle to make your arch enemy look bad by making yourself look better. 

Building from where we left off a couple of weeks ago we worked on strengthening our lines, working on the different positions of the arms and hands to make us look FIERCE! 

Then came the shading. 

One on one we faced each other, pulling out all of our most inventive Regina George-esque moves to put the other off. This was an experience that turned out to be one of two extremes. On one side there were those of us not able to fully embrace our inner nastiness, giggling at the explicit songs rather than using them to boost us into 'the zone,' but on the other side there was Susie Q and Trixie. Note to the blue-blooded one, do not engage people in battle after they have just finished reading 'The Hunger Games' ..... the results are far from pretty. In fact the result was to have the heir himself intervene and separate them. Funny for the rest of us, potentially deathly for those involved. 

Of course, now the next time we go out and we see someone wearing the same outfit and thinking they look sooooo much better, we'll know exactly how to show them otherwise.
