about

I own and rock people’s faces off teaching ballroom dancing at Dancers Studio in St. Paul, MN. My husband and I compete professionally in American style and wrangle eight children in our spare time. I’ve been teaching and competing in ballroom dancing for over 25 years and have lots of opinions on it. I am an expert by any means, but there are quite a few dancers who are better than me and I have a solid knowledge of basic technique, so suck it.

Let’s Talk About You

November 2, 2011

No, I've had enough. Let's talk about me.

I'm more of a rock star now that my hair is long. If I say enough, it'll be true, right? Any of these hair styles below would make me a more awesome person.

Picture at left: clearly, I'm standing on a balcony in Paris, having just enjoyed a carb-free croissant, while the nanny and my children sing quirky French rhymes and I rustle my lovely locks before heading out to do some quality time (AKA, shopping) with the G. (Note: the girl in the picture is not me.)

Middle photo: I have finally found the nerve to wear a strapless anything and my hair is full of unexplained volume. (Note: the girl in the picture is not me.)

Pic at the right: The boudoir photos turned out great, as did all those hours at the tattoo parlour (yes, with a "u") and my super-sweet haircut. (Note: the girl is the picture is not me.)

While all those ladies pictured above are what I strive for, of course, this is what I achieve.

It would also be neat to hang with these ladies. Being friends with them would probably make my hair more awesome and that pesky neck hair more manageable. [Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Tina Fey]
