Probably the Only Jennifer Beals Reference You’ll Ever See Here

Flashdance, 1983

[Pictures DELETED!]
She’s a maniac, maniac on the floor, and she’s dancing like she’s never danced befor-or-ore.

Shhh.  It’s Wordless Wednesday.

    Now I’m going to be singing that all day.

    Totally worth it.

    PS. Did you dump a bucket of water on her later?

    I would have thought the exact same thing. And then grabbed my camera and then disappeared to blog all about it seconds later.

    Thank God I didn’t have a blog when my kids were little cause I would have spent absolutely no time with them :)

    You know I keep scrolling back up to look at those photos. they are totally cracking me up! Is she seriously wearing leg warmers, cause that is totally cool!

    Let’s just make sure we don’t see the scene from the bar/nightclub, mmmkay? Unless of course, you put in Jennifer Beals dance double because we al know she didn’t do her own dancing anyway.

    KEEP BELIEVING

    I got the leggings at Target…they’re called Baby Legs. These have skulls and crossbones on them (not sure if that shows up in the picture.)

    No, I didn’t dump any water on her, but I did buy her a welder’s mask.

    Yes, Andi. That is lame. Have you never watched Flashdance?!?! Awful movie now, but it was AWESOME back in the 80′s.

    Jennifer Beals was the star of the movie.

    Ok, so I just bought that exact outfit for my yet to be born nephew. Is it too girly for him? Cause it looks amazing on Ella.

    Ok, Jennifer.
    Dress her up in her skull and crossbones leggins and her steel mask. I’m on my way to pick her up and bring her here to munch on, because she is so cute I can hardly stand it! :-)

    See, my youngest informed me the other day (after returning from a visit with the newest member of our extended family) that REAL babies are so much better than her PWETEND babies, and that we need one NOW!

    I have to laugh at the comment about not knowing Jennifer Beals. That is happening more and more and someone actually referred to the 80′s music as CLASSICS the other day. WHA? I feel old.

    Also, I tagged you for a meme (not sure if you want to do that, but come check it out if you want.) It’s called the 5×5 meme and it is my first one, so help out a newbie and please play along.
