Jig


Literally kicking up their heels. I especially like her striped socks.

What a gorgeous picture! I wonder if she made that dress. I'll bet she did. And I want those shoes badly.

If she didn't, someone she knows did.

This makes me think I need to steal my grandma's pictures and scan them.

That Hank said...

Well, yes.

The bloke on the left looks like Tolstoy.

Maybe she's really the Wicked Witch of the East. This is pre-housedrop.

These pictures... I can't stop this steady, measured laugh that just creeps out of my chest and lands all over the air. The bearded man doesn't even PRETEND he's having a good time with his face, but he's still gettin' jiggy. And these comments make me laugh even harder. I'm getting squinty!!!

You know, if you look at her hands, I suspect she is holding up an imaginary ball gown.

she may also be snapping her fingers. My grandparents used to get down like this, and I remember fingers snapping...

That could be, too.
