Voguing is the same thing as, like, taking two knives and cutting each other up, but through a dance form. Voguing came from shade, because it was a dance that two people did because they didn’t like each other. Instead of fighting, you would dance it out on the dance floor, and whoever did the better moves was throwing the best shade, basically.

The name was taken from the magazine “Vogue”, because some of the movements of the dance are also the same as the poses inside the magazine. The name is a statement in itself. I mean, you really wouldn’t go to a ball to do the “Mademoiselle”. No way.

Like break dancing, the dance takes from the hieroglyphics of Ancient Egypt. It also takes from some forms of gymnastics. They both strive for perfect lines in the body, awkward positions, but it goes one step further. 

It’s starting to make a name for itself, but I want it to be known worldwide, and I wanna be on top of it when it hits.

I don’t know

I’ve never felt this close to fred in my whole life

Fun fact: Dolly Parton is not blonde. All her blonde dos are wigs. When she goes out with her husband, because he doesn’t want to be in the public eye, she has her real hair and wears more typical middle aged southern lady outfits and people just…. Don’t recognise her. She just Clark Kents her way into maintaining a private life.

She’s the real life Hannah Montana

Wasn’t she Hannah Montana’s aunt 😭?

I have to add some details because their story is pretty cute

At 18 Dolly moved to Nashville. The very first day she was there she met a guy outside the Wishy Washy Laundromat. Her husband, Carl Dean, has said “My first thought was I’m gonna marry that girl. My second thought was, ‘Lord she’s good lookin.’" 

After 2 years of dating they wanted to get married but her record label said no because women are more profitable if they’re single. They eloped at a little church before the label could stop them and put off their honeymoon so Dolly could focus on work

In 1966 Carl accompanied her to a dinner/awards ceremony, it was his first time going to an industry event. After the dinner he said to his wife “Dolly, I want you to have everything you want, and I’m happy for you, but don’t you ever ask me to go to another one of them dang things again!’” And she never did

He lives a quiet life in Nashville and runs an asphalt business

For their 50th anniversary they renewed their vows at their home in front of family and friends, it was the wedding they’d wanted but couldn’t have when they first got married

Beautiful, wonderful story. I’m always impressed by Dolly and her dgaf attitude to life.
