35 years ago ‘flashdance’ was released
and it emerged again recently
in honor of international dance day
i loved this movie
had the shoes, the ripped up sweatshirt, the perm
though my dancing style
was a bit different
from this welder by day/dancer by night
and i didn’t live in a cool loft
or have an eccentric dog
or ride my bike to work
or look at all alike
but other than that
we were like sisters.

I had NONE of those things. But I still dance. 🙂 When no one is looking. And while typing my report at my desk yesterday. I was reading and dancing. So, there’s that!

I didn’t have the sweatshirt or the shoes or anything but 3 kids running around when it came out, and I fell in love with her too. Such a winning heroine with big dreams. Will we ever outgrow Cinderella??

Great film; but these days when anyone mentions it, I think first of a scene in the British film The Full Monty, where a group of male would-be strippers watch the film for dance moves inspiration and end up arguing about the quality of her welding. Sooooo funny.
