30x30: Day 4 - Yup In My White Tee

Of all the titles I could have used, I decided to throw it back to 2007 (the year I got my high school diploma). You know Dem Franchize Boyz? I remember never actually wearing a white tee in context of the song, but wearing several t-shirts of various colors promoting my sport and dancing around ackin' like I was thug, dustin' off my shoulders and raising the roof. Oh Heather, how times haven't changed.

Anytime my mom sees someone stumble, fall or do the "awkward" dance. You know the one where you're like, "I wonder if I try this..." and it never looks like the music video dance... Yeah, when my mom see's people doing that, she says, "oh look! It's the Heather Dance." She's not trying to make a joke. She's trying to say I invented a dance and that now awkward people everywhere are falling in line doing the same exact routine I concocted as a small child who saw herself in a mirror and thought, "I can dance if I want to, I can leave it all behind."

Yes, I still parade around trying to duggy. But instead of playing "Yup In My White Tee," I stick to the Plain White Ts and instead of watching MTV, I'm now much MUCH more mature and stick to Dancing With The Stars. I like to think when I'm a starlet, I'll have done my research and Bruno will give me steamy 10s every week.

*PS. I will be taking bribes and offers on dance tutorials in the near future. Stay tuned.
