Talent Contest

About 20 years ago the Clarkston Ward held a lip-sync talent contest. This was right up my group of friends' alley. We were all basically the same age, all mothers, all married and all just a tad looney. We decided to lip-sync to 'Stop, In the Name of Love' by Diana Ross and The Supremes.
Vicky Harsch was Diana Ross. Vicky isn't quite 5 foot tall, so she had to stand on a stool to be tall. However, to hide her standing on a stool she borrowed a long gown from her foster mother that went to the floor (her foster mother was around 6' tall).
Roz Wreford and I were the Supremes. We, of course, knew the song by heart so we didn't have to learn anything. We also had gowns that went to the floor. The one thing that we did have to do was to learn a dance routine to go with the song.
Roz's then husband, Dave, came in and taught us some steps. It went great. We had the time of our life.
We needed something, though, to make our performance unique. SO...we had Debbie Angelini hide beneath Vicky's stool and move a pair of shoes. The shoes seemed to belong to Vicky's tall self. During the song, Debbie moved the shoes to look as though Vicky was tapping her toe to the beat of the music. Then during one point in the song Vicky did a complete turn. Debbie flipped the shoes from left to right, then right to left while Vicky turned.
Roz and I, meanwhile, were 'getting down' with our dancing. The problem is that when we learned the steps we were wearing sneakers. During the show, we had heels on. Not good! We were having a heck of a time controlling those doggone heels!
We won. We beat out everyone else with our routine! The laughter was so loud in the gymnasium that it inspired us to keep going.
This is a great memory.
