explaning colonial dancing

so... i do colonial dancing. i have tried to explain it to many... here are the hilarious musings of the new guy. (and by new guy i mean the one i havent met yet and we have talked online).

him: so how often do you go dancing?

me: we have practice on friday nights and there are balls a couple times of the year hosted by differnt groups. i try to go to practice every week but Fridays are sometimes difficult - bc i have other things to do or bc i am tired from the week.
i dont have a corset or panniers and it is not as tight as they wore them
panniers and like pillows or baskets you wear to make your hips look bigger. my hips are big enough (in my opinion)

him: thats so silly. lol

me: well in that time period the image of a small waist was desirable. just like i would be checking out your calves while you were wearing breeches and silk stockings
and if you saw my elbows it would be sacrilege

him: oh baby. i can just imagine me coming home after a date, slumping against the door of my 1 room log cabin, and sighing "oooh, what saintly elbows..."

me: lol and ankles...

him: "she has the ankles of a goddess... that time where she tripped over a tree branch and her skirt floated up an inch and a half, i almost fainted..."

he doesnt even know me and yet he already knows i would trip over something.

  3. Oh, he sounds nice! Maybe you should ask about his calf size before you meet, just to avoid disapointment. :)
